But dont the rich get taxed at a higher rate than anyone else?Not just yet. Our tax-codes, which are the most complicated in the world, were written by lawyers of the rich, so naturally, the rich pay little to no tax.
The poor. . Well, you can't get blood from a turnip. So who is left?
Ah yes, the working class, lower middle class, middle, and upper middle class. Hard workers, don't save a lot of reciepts, but keep going to work and paying their taxes. Wonderful, subserviant, and dependable little tax-payers they are.
