It's a [B]Kleptocracy[/B] - and the so-called 'elections is mere political kabuki: Why is the US going to go default in August? Taxes to the richest used to be 90% well now here is there situation: Quote from From-Democracy-to-Kleptocr-by-Richard- "If you are unfortunate enough to be a successful small entrepreneur who nets a mere $100,000 a year, you pay 15.3% self-employment and 25% Federal tax on the bulk of your income, a combined rate of 40.3%, and a combined rate of 43.3% on all income above $82,400. By contrast, those who net millions pay less than half that amount, somewhere between 17%, for the top 1/10th of 1%. In contrast to what is paid by the top 1/10th of 1% , the small businessperson in California earning $100,000 pays between 5% and 9% state tax, so their combined state and Federal tax burden on their highest earnings is a whopping 50%. Then there are property taxes and the 9.5% sales tax, and endless junk fees that are skimmed from small businesses. Add all that together and the total taxes paid rises to the 60% level, or roughly triple what the top 1% pay !" :( Side: No
