40%
some ignorant fuck posted a nice long rant about why obama's health care plan won't work. one of the reasons given was that the richest 1% pay 40% of the taxes. poor them. well they would be poor if they didn't also have 40% of the income. 'course there's one more teensy weensy thing said ignorant fuck either doesn't grasp or is hiding. and that is *how* the 1% make their money. they pick stocks. from the caribbean. meanwhile, the guy who isn't getting the health care because it's expensive is selling his life in a coal mine. yeah, they're both working. but it's a totally different kind of work. reasonable people really shouldn't see a problem taxing one kind to benefit the other kind.
