The Underlying Reason Why the Democrats Should Maintain the White House in November 2016


 In 2013, the top 1% of Americans in income paid 38% of all income taxes. The bottom 50% of income earners, half the nation, paid only 3% of all income taxes.  In 1980, the top 1% of income earners paid 19%; while the bottom 50% paid 7%. Therefore, over the past 33 years, the top 1% earners had their tax burden increase by 100%; while the bottom 50% had their tax burden decrease by 57%.   

If one belongs to that third of the nation that pays no income taxes but receives copious benefits, why would you vote for a party that will cut taxes you don’t pay, but take away benefits you do receive?
