The important point to be made is how much are the rich paying with respect to their net worth. Give me a study where they show that stat and we can have a meaningful discussion.
Well, let's see - I believe the top bracket is taxed at about 30% and the bottom bracket is 6%. That means the income of the wealthy is taxed 24% more than the poor. Isn't that a significant portion of their income?

What an outrage! Let's tax all those motherfucing bottomfeaders. They should opt between eating or paying Uncle Sam.
That is a fallacy - there are very few truly poor people in the US. The truly poor don't pay ANY taxes, and, if they have children, they get the earned income credit. And many of the "working poor" still have cable TV and cell phones. It's all about choices and priorities.

Have you read the Bible where it says "Blessed are the poor . . ." and so on and so forth?
It might help if you quoted the whole scripture. In Matthew 5:3 it says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." And it doesn't mean materially poor, it means broken in spirit, or humble. Quite a different meaning, huh? Also, it says in I Timothy Chapter 5 that a man who doesn't provide for his family is worse than an infidel.

Finally, I challenge you to find the chapter and verse in the Bible that says the government is supposed to care for the poor. Or that the government is supposed to take money from the wealthy and give it to the poor.

Oh, and BTW, there have been studies done that show that "poor" people spend a disproportionate amount of income on cigarettes, alcohol and lottery tickets. Hence my statement!
