Unless, of course, you're RMoney, and then you pay roughly 13.9%, and hide most of it offshore....

Which of course is another Fred lie.
The top brackets in European nations range between 45% - 75%. Fred does not even try anymore, just blatantly lies about his "facts".

Actually Fred is correct again!
In the UK, the top 1% pays less than 30% of all income taxes, while the top 1% in the US pays about 40% of all income taxes.
Poor pitiful froggie... Still got nothing but personal insults?... How's that deflection thing workin' out for ya?
Oh, just in case you forgot, this post was about the GOTP screwing the "average American Family" over their failure to pass the Farm Bill, which will ultimately raise milk-prices...
Yes, it's a shame that the teabaggers are more obsessed with shutting things down than governing.... But I never discount the ability of the Republicans to find a way to screw the average American family.
If the agriculture bill is not addressed, the dairy subsidy would expire January 1 and milk prices could double to about $7 a gallon.
...OR, they get their thumbs out of their collective extremities and pass the agriculture bill...
Pity. Sux to be you...

Per IRS.Gov, the top 1% pay 37% of all the income tax receipts. The Top 10% pay 71% of of income tax receipts and the bottom 50%, half of Americans pay only 2% of the income tax receipts.
It is much more equitable in Europe, where the bottom 50% are paying more of their fair share. People whine that they want the free college and medical care of Europe, but the Euro's are all indirectly paying for those benefits. The US? Obama would rather penalize a tiny minority than increase equitability.
