Radical Left: The Rich as Slaves
Every study by every think tank about taxes shows that we have a very progressive tax system. In some studies the lowest 50% of wage earners pay no income taxes. The “rich” depending on how they are defined pay a proportionally higher amount of taxes as you move up the income scale.
Yet all [...]
Hamas-Israel:Black Culture-American Culture
