These five Americans earned SIX BILLON DOLLARS among them and paid NO Federal Income Tax, No Social Security Tax and No Medicare Tax (1.65% of 1 Billion dollars IS a lot of money)
Up until a few years ago, they only paid 15% Capital Gains tax; now they pay 23% Capital Gains Tax.
No one likes to pay taxes but when the super wealthy don't pay taxes that means that the average working guy...YOU AND ME... have to make up the shortfall...
Do you REALLY want to help a rich guy?
