Actually every single person that draws a paycheck pays taxes. If you are below the federal minimum, you still pay social security tax and welfare tax (i'm not sure what the later is actually called). When I was 14 I was paying social security tax, when I was making a rich $1000 a year.

Also, our tax base is much less progressive than it used to be, and far better than socialist countries like France. Taxes have come down, alot, while our deficit has grown.

If you feel like complaining because you are rich, go ahead. I'm rich too, but I pay my taxes because I wasn't always rich, and I know what it's like to be poor.

I'm also rich in game, and instead of throwing money away on mounts I fund the guild's raid repairs. I work for that dough, but I don't mind giving it up to help the guild progress. Its just pixels anyway.
