ABCNEWS.com : Stossel on the Top 10 Media-Fed Myths
"According to presidential candidate Al Sharpton, 'The top one percent in this country pays very much less than ten percent, very much less than five percent.'
Sharpton said he thinks the wealthy should pay 'somewhere around 15 percent.'
But that's so silly because -- and I bet most of you don't know this -- the IRS says the richest 1 percent of taxpayers already pay 34 percent of all income taxes. Twice what Sharpton wanted them to pay. "
Can i just say that this ABC article is the best that I've read in a long time. Did you know you don't get colds from jumping in puddles! So cool.
