Per the below: The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent). The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a 26.9 percent individual income tax rate, which is more than seven times higher than taxpayers in the bottom 50 percent (3.7 percent).
The Rich pay lots of taxes. Some Rich, those without much earned income, don't seem to pay a lot of taxes because of qualified dividend income and using capital losses to offset capital gains. The latter is actually a good thing for Society because it helps to incentivize the Rich to take risks.
The thing about municipal workers is they often get a far better deal than the average joe (who has no public-sector union looking out for them). That plus, they are financed by property taxes, which leaves the rest of us butthurt. I actually don't have trouble with paying it for police and firemen because they do put their lives on the line. Teachers are another matter. My personal experience is that they are the whiniest, most over-privileged & pampered bunch I've ever met. And I know for a fact a lot of them don't work that hard and do a shitty job educating kids. Especially today when many of them pass kids simply for showing up. I do feel sorry for teachers working in tough inner-city schools, but a lot of them adapt by just mentally checking out. I also think public-sector unions should be illegal.
