Observation on how the world works

"The upper class: keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class: pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there...just to scare the *bleep* out of the middle class." George Carlin.

Funny, but also not completely true.  When it comes to the federal income tax (FIT) at least, the upper class not only pays taxes, they pay more than anyone else, while approximately half of Americans pay nothing in FIT.  Of course, when you factor in all the other taxes the math gets a little trickier, but overall the upper class DOES pay its "fair share" of the tax burden.  I just wish more people understood that.
