How can you say that? A third of our country pays nothing in income tax. The top 50% pay 96% of all income taxes. The top 5% alone pay 56% of the taxes. Heck, the bottom 20% of earners actually get money back.
Basically 50% of our country is paying for everything. I don't see how that benefits just the wealthy?
