Are you kidding me?

The liberals on here don’t even like each other.

This is simply a gathering place where they can all come and wallow around together in their own self pity and hatred of America.

I am assuming this is why we have stopped hearing about this from the dems.

“The results show how steeply progressive the U.S. income tax remains. For 2018, households in the top 20% will have income of about $150,000 or more and 52% of total income, about the same as in 2017. But they will pay about 87% of income taxes, up from about 84% last year.

By contrast, the lower 60% of households, who have income up to about $86,000, receive about 27% of income. As a group, this tier will pay no net federal income tax in 2018 vs. 2% of it last year.“
