We have heard much about "Tax Cuts for the Rich" and the "rich not paying their fare share" of income taxes. This is a basic political tool employed by politicians to manipulate a basic human weakness - envy. If someone is better off than we are, they must have gotten rich unfairly, so the politicians would have us believe. They do it under cover of campaigning for justice. Walter E. Williams’ article shows how much taxes the rich in the USA really pay.
