Or even simple arithmetic baffles you. Before you read the line, remember that the top 1% pay almost 39% of income taxes.
NEW YORK TIMES FINDS A FLAW IN TRUMP’S TAX-REFORM PLAN: “The plan would not benefit lower-income households that do not pay federal income taxes.”
Sigh. Well, given that the NYT has been running a series of extolling Communism’s 100 year birthday in what was the Soviet Union, should we be surprised that they’d have that line? Of COURSE the higher up economic classes would benefit from keeping their own money as the bottom 50% only pay about 3% of all income taxes – they’ve been receiving this benefit for decades.
To kvetch about this is factoid is simply class warfare – but read that line about Communism again.
