Hey Jackoff, next time you want to act smart, try to use your own words instead of plagerizing someone elses. http://nationalpriorities.org/budget-ba ... /revenues/ The fact that you changed up a few sentences doesn't cut it. I know how fucking stupid you are and all it took was a copy and paste of one sentence (that I knew you were unable to construct yourself).Big Cat wrote:

Oh thanks for asking because I think a lot of people including yourself don't really know...I appreciate the oppurtunity to educate you right wing dummies...To put it simply...Most of it comes from the middle class.
Total federal tax revenues in fiscal year 2013 are projected to be $2.9 trillion. These revenues come from three major sources Hiesenjew: income taxes paid by individuals, accounting for 47 percent of all tax revenues; payroll taxes paid jointly by workers and employers, accounting for 33 percent; and corporate income taxes paid by businesses, making up only a measley 12 percent. There are also a handful of other types of taxes like customs duties and excise taxes that make up much smaller portions of federal revenue. Customs duties are taxes on imports, paid by the importer, while excise taxes are taxes levied on specific goods, like gasoline. This pie chart above shows how much each of these revenue sources are expected to bring in during fiscal year 2013.
Now...Once they are paid into the Treasury, income taxes and corporate taxes are designated as federal funds, while payroll taxes become trust funds. Federal funds are general revenues, meaning Congress and the president can decide to spend them on just about anything when they conduct the annual appropriations process. But trust funds can be used only to pay for very specific programs. The vast majority of trust fund revenues pay for Social Security and Medicare. Understand?
I think you were trying to say that corporations pay the lion share of taxes in this country, but you'd be wrong again Hiesenjew..more than 100 million American households file a federal tax return each year, and those income taxes make up the federal government’s single largest revenue source. We all know that the income tax system is designed to be progressive. That is, the wealthy are meant to pay a larger percentage of their earnings than middle- or low-income earners, but due to the complexity of the tax code, however, this is often not the way it works out.
Now here you can see the effect corporate money has had in Washington, the tax burden is increasingly falling on people like us- the wage slaves, and it would only get worse under a Romney administration..
I hope this answers all your questions Hiesenwhatever

Just highlighting your lack of an education. And my point was that the government doesn't build anything with "government money"... anything the government builds requires money produced in the private sector... and most of that is paid by top end of earners.Big Cat wrote: I just added some personal touches
Do you wanna talk about me or do you wanna talk about who pays all the taxes?
