$71 billion last year

Say it was $100 billion for the entire US. The US is guesttimated to collect $6.56 trillion. So that is ~1.5% of what is collected.

And everyone bitches about food stamps rather than the rich dodging taxes


When you say Dodging taxes, do you mean using the tax law to their benefit and legally paying less taxes or do you mean those that are breaking the law and not getting caught?

Because if you didn't use the existing laws to pay the least amount of taxes as possible, then you sir, are not the brightest bulb on the tree.


Who do you think is responsible for laws where someone like Mitt Romney makes 20.9 million in a year and pays 13.9% tax rate? He's "using existing laws" that were put in place because the 1% own this country. Capital gains tax breaks are another bullshit loophole for the wealthy. And people are left going ape shit because some degenerates (not all food stamp users) abuse food stamps, which is a drop in the bucket relatively.


So, you're backtracking out of your "dodging taxes" comment I take it.


BTW, 13.9% of $20.9 million is about 3 MILLION DOLLARS .

That's one person, paying almost 3 million dollars in taxes in one year while about 140 million people pay NOTHING.

And you're complaining that this 1 person doesn't pay more?

Wow.
