******************The Dirty Little Secret********************

Over the last 30 years the way we tax Americans has shifted from income taxes to highly regressive taxes which are disproportionately are paid by the working class and the poor...

These taxes include:

Sales taxes - 3 fold increase since Reaganomics

User taxes - 7 fold increase

Taxes on electricity, phones, internet, car license plates, etc, ect...

Every where you look this is how the rich have shifted more and more taxes on to the poor and the working class... These are all ****highly regressive**** taxes and it billions and billions of $$$ that the wealthy have had ***their government*** put in place...

But in a larger picture, the rich love to point out what % of income taxes they pay but they don't want to talk about the % of the income they pull in or the amount of wealth they have corralled for themselves...

This is reality... The rich have been getting a free ride since 1980 and it's time for them to participate in the game...
