"The money that Republicans spend making people go to fight their wars (sometimes when the public has nothing to gain from being at war) is the taxpayers' money "

1. the Republicans represent the rich
2. the rich pay most of the taxes

conclusion- the TAX dollars that are being spent are coming MOSTLY from Republicans.


I know, there ARE rich liberals- as well as poor Republicans (ie, me!) but the first statement has been a staple of ALL Mudcat discussions, and to refute it would upset the vast majority of those posting.

The second point is a matter os fact- the TOP 50% of earners pay ALL the income taxes, the top 10% pay something like 40%. ( not looking up exact number- feel free to check it)
