Do The Wealthy Pay Enough in Taxes?
We have been hearing from President Obama again and again about the wealthiest people needing to pay their fair share. However, Ohio Senator Rob Portman has released some information on his website that proclaims just what the wealthiest Americans pay in taxes. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the top 20 percent of taxpayers pay 94 percent of income taxes paid in America.
Based on that information, do you believe that the wealthy pay enough, too much or not near enough of the taxes in this nation? Vote in our poll below and let us know what you think.
