The guy likely pays no taxes. but the upper 50% of the wage earners pay @97% of all tax collections, and the lower ones only @3%. The upper of the upper pay a disproportionate share of that too, the Top 1% of earners = 37% of taxes paid, the next bracket 2-5% accounts for another 20%. So about 57% paid by the top 5%.
Since you prefer to deal with facts, please explain these non 'Dumbocraps' statistics. "Among the 254 counties where food stamp recipients doubled between 2007 and 2011, Republican Mitt Romney won 213 of them in last yearâs presidential election, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data compiled by Bloomberg. Kentuckyâs Owsley County, which backed Romney with 81 percent of its vote, has the largest proportion of food stamp recipients among those that he carried." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-...cked-by-republicans-with-voters-on-rolls.html
Please expand on their incomes and share of wealth as well, so that we can make more direct comparisons. Thanks.
I'm guessing you've never been anywhere near these counties in KY. I grew up in OH and just as blacks vote for Odumbo many whites will vote for a white guy. The poor whites in KY are those who live in the sticks, ex coal miners and lost of poorly educated people. If they voted for Romney they were basically voting AGAINST Odumbo. Look at Detroit MI .. bankrupt. Run by black mayors for a long, long time going back to Coleman Young in the '70s. The city was predominantly black and look at it now. The blacks kept voting for their handouts and kept their fellow blacks running the show. Kwame Kilpatrick was another great mayor, huh?
I don't personally know all these people. What I posted are FACTS. Bottom line is 50% of the people in the US pay 3% of federal taxes.
You said "all their basic needs" which is of course BS. But let's assume for the moment it's true... OMG!! How many is a LOT??
I am sure someone as resourceful as you would be able to find the relevant stats. Also, why do only federal taxes matter? What about the rest?
Why look at Detroit when I can look at Conservative hellholes like Missisippi and Alabama? Hell, let's look at the Con miracle of Texas. 50th in percentage of population with health insurance (2010) 50th in percentage of children insured (2009) 50th in percentage of women receiving early prenatal care (2010) 45th in rate of infectious diseases (2010) 44th in percentage of children in poverty (2010) 42nd in per capita health care funding (2010) 40th in overall health (2010) 36th in high school graduation rate (2010) 35th in crime (2010) 35th in percentage of children immunized (2010) 34th in rate of occupational fatalities (2010) 30th in percentage of people with college degree (2008) Texas also ranks: 1st in amount of recognized carcinogens released into the air (2002) 4th highest in release of toxic chemicals into the environment (2002) 8th highest in percentage of people below poverty level (2008) 13 th highest in obesity (2010)
Please do not smoke crack during the day and post here. Odumbo has created the largest deficit EVER. Deficit went up $4.9 trillion in Bush's 2 terms. Odumbo racked up $4.93 trillion in his first term alone. He'll take it well north of $12 trillion in all likelihood by the time he's gone. Currently more than $17.4 trillion as In post this. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ So Odumbo has racked up $7.5 trillion in 6 years.
