    The protest is over taxation without 50% of the public paying their share. Why do you guys always have to bring up the prior administration? Obama is F***ing this duck all by himself.

    those that dont pay fed income taxes are paying a higher percentage of payroll and sales taxes. so are you just talking about federal income taxes? if so why?

    and is your 50% figure accurate? is this in reference to that nonsensical stat about the top 10% paying 80% or some $hit?

    i think even fewer should pay. the elderly should pay nothing or next to nothing on their "income". their retirement funds got killed and property taxes are gutting them.

    70%. The top 10% pay 70% of the freight.


    However many don't pay taxes is irrelevant. I just don't want them on my tab.

    If that reporter and network didn't have an agenda there then I don't know what one would look like if it did. Why was she intentionally antagonistical?

    I don't understand why she could not just report on the event and not be so antagonistic.

    Wow. No objective reporting there. Here's CNN in happier times.

    what % of total income earned do the same top 10% make? i wonder if its around 70%.

    so, you want the govt to keep track of exactly who uses what so they will skip the poor people's houses when they are fixing potholes?
