"The wealthy pay the largest amount of the taxes that benefit us all at this time."

So, the wealthy paying taxes is now a charitable contribution?  ROFL

The wealthy do not -- NOT, NOT, NOT! -- pay more in taxes than their share of national income they (and most of those in poverty) receive. Let's be crystal clear: if the wealthy pay less working people pay more. Eggheads call this "math."

Saying the "wealthy pay the largest amount of the taxes" is like saying that congenital liars tell the largest portion of lies. 

If there are 10 cookies, and I take 9 of them for myself, leaving 1 for you -- and then the mean tax-man demands I foot the bill for 9/10ths of the revenue -- I'm paying the "largest amount" of taxes for a reason so obvious that even the lowest IQ person can understand.

But I'm not paying "more" than I'm getting out of the system. (Indeed, much of government exists to serve the wealthy because they have the most to be protected!)
