Just to make you happy I will exclude corporate tax revenue, even though this throws the numbers off because tax revenue collected from corporations is still spent on PEOPLE and paid for by PEOPLE! According to the Congressional Budget Office statistics, 12% of federal tax revenue was collected from corporations in 2009. (even though the shareholders "people" suffer this taxation we will deduct it to please DUMBO)
so 12% of $2,674,007,818,000 is $320,880,938,160.
$2,674,007,818,000-$320,880,938,160=$2,353,126,879,840
$2,353,126,879,840 / 305,562,616 = $7700.96 federal tax liability PER PERSON
Please pay your EQUAL share since you want economic EQUALITY!!! Otherwise thank the people who get fucked with a 35% tax rate and pay double taxation with payroll, corporate, LT and ST capital gains taxes.
The fact of the matter is you couldn't even pay your equal share of the costs it takes to run this country. The money it costs for our roads, our military, our public buildings and offices, all the subsidies to agriculture and energy and water projects, the parks, the libraries, the public education system, state universities, hospitals, clinics, (medicare, medicaid), welfare, section 8 housing, airports, railways, etc. etc. etc.
And this isn't even counting your EQUAL fucking share of STATE taxes that pay for public officials, police, teacher salaries, etc. etc. That'll add on another couple grand to your annual bill that you should EQUALLY foot as an EQUAL citizen in the economy.
Or you can complain because Mr. Corporate CEO who has a PHD and has been successful in every business venture he's ever partaken in and drives a Mercedes 500 series and pays >$10,000 in annual income taxes while you're unemployed lazy ass drives a toyota and gets a federal tax refund at the end of the year in a greater amount than you even paid in! All the while you get to reap as many public goods benefits as he does even though you are a drain on the federal system, not a contributor.
One day you will realize this and be thankful that you live in a capitalist system, unless you are a hard worker with a good education who is successful in business and it is YOU who is getting fucked by the government taking >35% of your income.
