The Democrats Credo  -  'We've Got What it Takes to Take What You've Got'

To listen to the Democrats you'd think that the people who are a success in life and who have accumulated financial independence, are the people who should be scapegoats for the financial condition of the country.  Therefore, according to the Democrats, we need to "punish" them by over taxing them to make up for the governments malfeasance in running their financial affairs.  They never tell you that the top 10% of all taxpayers pay approximately 70% of all income taxes (is that paying their "fair share"?).  Without these much maligned taxpayers, we'd be in much more of a financial crisis than we are now in.  In that regard, I do believe that some corporations who earn millions in profits should pay something instead of nothing in income taxes, within reason (the list of corporations who earned a profit but paid no income tax included such companies as Amazon, Netflix, IBM, U.S. Steel etc.). Actually, we'll need more people in the 10% category paying taxes, not less.
