Who Pays America’s Tax Burden, and Who Gets the Most Government Spending?
It is just about that time of the year for the Democrats to start spewing about the unfairness of the U. S. tax system.  A class warfare speech telling us that the poor pay for everything. Keep this in mind when you hear that:
“…America’s lowest-earning one-fifth of households received roughly $8.21 in government spending for each dollar of taxes paid in 2004. Households with middle-incomes received $1.30 per tax dollar, and America’s highest-earning households received $0.41. Government spending targeted at the lowest-earning 60 percent of U.S. households is larger than what they paid in federal, state and local taxes. In 2004, between $1.03 trillion and $1.53 trillion was redistributed downward from the two highest income quintiles to the three lowest income quintiles through government taxes and spending policy.“
