When it comes to income taxes, the top 10 percent of earners pay 70 percent of income taxes and the bottom 50 percent pay less than three percent. Mr. Wishon is quick to drink the progressive Kool-Aid that only the rich will benefit from a tax cut. I would remind him that the tax cuts don’t affect capital gains or an additional 3.9 percent Obamacare tax. If these taxes were cut, I would agree that they would benefit upper income earners.
It’s obvious that Mr. Wishon gets his talking points from The Durango Herald, MSNBC, Huffington Post, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
