Who Pays

While Obama is trying to get those evil rich bastards to pay their fair share, lets examine who actually pays most of the taxes now (courtesy of the Tax Foundation).

Follow the link to see all the details. For some quick points 46.5% of taxes are paid by those earning between $75,000 and $500,000. Another 35.9% of all taxes are paid by those earning over $500,000. That leaves 17.6% of taxes paid by those earning under $75,000. Over half of that (9.2% of all taxpayers) is paid by those earning $50,000-$75,000. Those earning under $50,000 pay the remaining 8.4%.
