The wrong side of history would be an understatement.

Um, look up at the topic of the thread and do your math...
Top 50% pay 96.54%, meaning the bottom 50% pay only 3.46%...

I can add, can you?

Our income comes straight from W-2s so no "loopholes" for us. I'm not complaining about paying $20K in taxes. I'm complaining about how the money is wasted and how some people expect my tax dollars to support them (those who abuse welfare AND those who abuse bailout $). You try working 70 hour weeks; giving up your weekends and personal life; saving all your money to buy a house and after doing your taxes for the year, you find out you still owe Uncle Sam more money.

So are we talking about the top 50%? Why don't you stick to the people we are talking about, instead of trying to blurr the subject.
