"The United States leans more heavily on the top 10 percent of earners than any other country on Earth and our poor people actually have the lowest income tax burden of any industrialized country,"
Jeezus H Keerist that's some stinking foul lying propaganda. The other side of the story: The United States has a distribution of income and wealth consistent with banana republics like Nicaragua and El Salvador. The top 10% has more money than any other country on Earth.
Talking about only the distribution of taxes without comparing it to the distribution of income and wealth is totally dishonest. The truth about this is that the wealthy in America are undertaxed...and they're investing the surplus in the GOP to keep it that way.
