The question should be not what rate do people pay, but how much do they pay to the government all together. Since half of the population, according to several studies I have seen, pays nothing in federal taxes, if all the "free and suppliment" programs they get from the other half of the taxpayer base, are included, then it really is the top half of the ladder that provides the finances for everyone. As one of that group, I have no problem with it but do get rather angry that, besides paying for other peoples children, providing them breakfast, lunch and dinner, clothing and doctor care I have to listen to the venom from the Progressives" that we hate the poor and refuse to give them what they "deserve" to live a wonderful and happy life
However, right now I am not in a giving mood. A number of us helped clean out the garbage from three abandoned houses, about 500 feet from our street. We had to pay for rodent control, and special clean up by professionals because of the rat infestation that had taken over the area and was getting to be a problem for everyone. The owners of the houses (shacks) sat there, stoned as usual, throwing things at the crews working and when they could decided to urinate on the work crew. Finally the police were called, and the people were taken away, provided with food and clothing, forced to shower and watched over. New used mobile homes will be brought in, as happened last year, and the process will begin again, in two years the garbage and rats will be in full force and wen will have to do it all again. And the good, mainly poor but hard working people have to put up with this s**T And those of us with some money are blamed for the way these people "are forced to live" GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!

I feel your agony and I share it. This country has become the home of the lazy and drugged out. And free. If people are given everything they lose self respect and you
are looking at the result...the fruit of your labors. And they give these people help but also they’re taking our social security to cover the poor and illegal.
