Tax bites rise as income groups face higher share
The article argues the tax burden has shifted from the wealthy to middle and lower earners. It cites Citizens Public Expenditure Survey showing under $5,000 earners pay 21 percent and $5,000-$10,000 pay 39 percent of federal tax, while those $50,000+ pay 12 percent. It notes high brackets reflect few rich people, not favoritism, and urges cutting non-essential government spending rather than tax hikes. It criticizes politicians seeking funds for unneeded projects and points to self-contradictory critics.
