[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 937741, member: 17969"] Yes they pay 38% of the total taxes paid, but thats not 38% taxes EACH. That number is collectively accumulated using variables. The top 1% represent such HUGE numbers, that some of them are paying 1%, 5%,8%.10%,15% after deductions and loopholes, and those numbers STILL come out to 38% of the total dollar amounts paid in taxes. Boone pickens paying 665 million is NOTHING compared to 1.7 billion. 665 million may sound like alot to a person making less than 100K, but a person at 100K would love to pay the same tax rate as Boone Pickens. Instead, the person making 100K pays close to 30%. Boone is paying less than 15%. Still think thats fair? Collectively, including tax loopholes and deductions, the top 1% should be paying close to 45% of the total taxes to assist the country in recovery, and once there, taxes cut for them. This in addition to cuts in programs and the military. Peace. TOS [/QUOTE]
