As far as income taxes I have no argument with this article. Now lets look at arbitrary taxes like the gasoline and diesel fuel taxes. I guarantee you these along with cigarette and alcohol taxes as well as taxes on firearms ammunition and what not are 99.9 percent paid by the middle class and make up a larger portion of the tax revenue than government takes from people under income taxes. Include in this licensing of all types, and consider the state tax systems do the same thing through sales tax and licensing the middle class pays the huge majority of all taxes combined. They are trying to fool you by limiting this article to income tax only. These are not the only taxes you pay. There is also FICA i.e. social security) which the federal government steals for the general budget instead of setting it aside in a separate place for retirees. Then there's medicare taxes on every paycheck, which is also a tax. The middle class pays over 90% of these taxes also.
