Right wingers usually mistakenly think they make more under Republican administrations but it's false. The real deal is that the poor get to keep less under Republican administrations because they redistribute the money to the already rich. This is apparent even to the rabble these days.
you're right!
lets take you. most likely you make about $35k a year. don't know if thats average or not but tax on that is $4,938.00 if you're single.
now, lets take an evil rich guy making $1m a year.
he pays $327,643.00

the rich pay 66 times what you pay for the exact same services.
in the small mind of the rabble, thats fair but only because he knows he'll never be successful enough to have that much money taken from him
