If a group of people are making the bulk of our nation's personal income why shouldn't they be paying the bulk of income taxes? That bottom 50% do not make enough at their crappy service sector jobs to contribute a significant portion of the total.MIDDLE OR UPPER MIDDLE? lol
Half of US who make enough to even file in the US AVG less than $15,000 PER FAMILY. The MOST that family made is $34,800
TOP 10% OF US MADE A MIN OF $120,000 A YEAR
WHAT 'MIDDLE CLASS' ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I love the fact you left this out:
The Top 50 Percent of All Taxpayers Paid 97 Percent of All Income Taxes; the Top 5 Percent Paid 57 Percent of All Income Taxes; and the Top 1 Percent Paid 35 Percent of All Income Taxes in 2011
Also, the data doesn't define "family". Those $34k per year people could be single, or retired, or working also in the "black economy"
Fact it, if you make more that 50-60k as a couple YOU ARE THE 1% LOL
Then stop spouting off that bullshit of "they are not paying their fair share". How about shrinking government?
Oh, wait progressive assholes love playing with other people's money so that will never happen.
In 1980 the top 1% earned 8.5% of total income. In 2007 they earned 23%.
In 1980 the bottom 90% earned 68% of total income. In 2007 they earned 53%.

GOV'T POLICY MATTERS !!!
Keynes wrote "The End of Laissez Faire" in 1926. He was correct then, and his insight remains more valid than any economics that conservative Libertarians propound ad infinitum and ad nauseum. Laissez Faire is nothing more than a childish Christmas wish of no substance; just hope and myth, and smoke and mirrors. Fails every time we try even the tiniest bit.

You didn't answer the question, cocksucker.
After Reagan and BOTH Bush's grew Gov't? lol
90%+ of current debt can be traced back to POLICY from those GOPers
