TAXPAYERS BY INCOME GROUP

Linden often listens to the Greg Garrison radio show on weekday mornings and the Rush Limbaugh show in the afternoons and considers both to be superior news sources. Today we focus just a bit on news that was the subject of one of the Rush shows. If we consider the top 20% income group, they paid just over 67 cents of each dollar of income taxes collected. The next lower 60% paid about 32 cents of each dollar collected and the lowest 20% paid less that one half of one cent. Is this a perfect system or what?

Friday started with the usual early morning Men’s Prayer Breakfast, nothing else of much consequence. The best part of Saturday was exchanging messages with Brian and Julie. Sunday brought church and Sunday school services followed by brunch with friends. Julie and Jade came by, bringing good food from Grays later in the day. We visited, ate, watched a dolphin movie that was good, and I played a good bit with Jade. Loved it!!!
