This is a mathematical fallacy and makes no sense.
How? I don't see how its a mathematical fallacy at all, nor how it doesn't make sense. You can explain.
You said that the top 1% that owns 35% of the wealth should pay 35% of the taxes. For starters, you don't pay taxes on wealth. If we backtrack and assume you mean income, not only would the numbers be different you seem to suggest that the share of taxes should be 1:1 proportional to the share of income, and the only realistic way to do that would be a flat tax rate for everyone and I kinda doubt that's what you were going for. As it stands, your argument doesn't make sense.
I didn't mean income, actually if you read what I posted, I explained how the income tax is actually fair % wise, and if anything the 1% are paying more on income tax, after tax returns, then the other 99%.
You are trying to take my statement as an exclamation of how our tax system currently works, which wasn't what I was saying. KN also made the same mistake. And continued to make the same mistake even when I repeatedly explained that the people aren't at fault for using our taxing system to their fullest extent. I wouldn't argue about the intricacies of something that I don't fully understand, which I doubt anyone here fully understands(Unless someone has a degree in tax law).
I was simply providing arguments for why we should consider changing the tax system to be more "fair", most of the arguments are not my own but others and I even provided sources which all included information as to what can be fixed and why and some proving that they are fair.
I do however believe we need to re-evaluate our tax system and how we are spending our tax dollars. Outside of issues like welfare and medicaid we have things like education and infrastructure that need additional funding. Contrary to republican belief, the government does need more taxes and it is very clear that trickle-down economics doesn't work.
Economics and taxing are all about cause and effect but its nigh impossible to factor in the "human" aspect of it.
