A civilized advanced society is expensive, go figure. It's still far lower than it has been in the past. And I'd be curious what the actual amount of tax wealthy people pay on their earnings, after creative accounting(not that their is anything wrong with that-if the system allows it). I'm going to guess that no one actually pays 48.5%. Are there any numbers on this? Average taxes payed by those earning over $1 million or something like that?
