This awesome video uses the analogy of some friends going out to a bar for a few drinks to explain generally how taxes work in America. It illustrates that "the rich" in America pay a vast majority of the taxes, both by percent and actual dollar amount and that a large portion of Americans that don't earn much money don't pay taxes at all, but are of course allowed to vote and influence the taxes the rest of us pay. The culminating point being that if we continue to raise taxes on the biggest earners (also the biggest spenders), they will take their money and drink (conduct business) at a different bar (another country). That is bad for all Americans. Take a look, let me know your feedback. Do you agree or not???
