yes... but this is the point.. a company is not a person... it's not "top wagers" (people who earn more than 500k) like it was said that make up most of the money for a country (look at the exact words in the quote)... most of the money come from the what companies, business and very small business pay as taxes. Sure, it's a good size too what everyone pays, but definitely, it's not the majority, or even close to 1/4. besides, think about it, US maintains it's political supremacy over the world because it is the best economy in the world <> the business.

Fortunatelly for the rich people, the Treasury is not comprised only from Income Taxes, but also from profit taxes on companies and banks and all other sorts of taxes.. 'Cause you realise, US would not have this budget if that were the case. :) Most of the money a country has (in terms of budgets, reserves and so on) are made from the business taxes. So do not worry about your boss if he's making over $500k a year: he'll be not supporting anyone's wellfare. Cheers! PS: BTW, in my country, all the crieterias taken into account by you guys make up somewhere over 60%. So ya', maybe you do not pay that much in the US.
