See, that's what wealthy people do. They like to take a statistic and skew it so it makes them look like the good guy.

Also, his claim that don't tax corporations because they pass it along to consumers. Well, that may be true, but it's not like they are going to reduce the price of the product even if you don't reduce the taxes. Corporations have shown since the Regan era that reducing taxes does nothing but get them higher profit wages. The livelihood of the middle class man has pretty much stayed the same if not gotten worse.

I see your guarantee and raise you the IRS's guarantee that your wrong:



How Much Money Do The Top Income Earners Make By Percentage? | Financial Samurai

1 Percenters on average like Peter Schiff pay 23.27% of their income to taxes, while us 99 percenters on average pay less then 12.24%.
