If you don't think the system is rigged to benefit the wealthy owners of the CONservative Industry think again. If the wealthiest 1% OWN 88% of the wealth in this country they ought to be paying 88% of the taxes. Income from capital gains is income that should be taxed at the same rate as income from real work. At the very least a WEALTH TAX needs to be a part of our tax system.
The records show RepubliCONservatives have consistently given tax cuts to their wealthy donor class that control the conservative industry in the United States. They do that while raising taxes on the working class in one form or another. Often times these federal tax cuts then have to be made up by the states.

One only need to listen conservative hate radio talking heads who shill for the wealthy and against the government to know where their bread is buttered.
Hate the Government is a standard talking point in Conservative media. Why? It sets the stage for any number of RepubliCONservative legislative actions like cutting funds to the IRS who audit these people, deregulation of industry so the wealthy elite who own polluting corporations are allowed to pollute, pay low wages, deny healthcare and other social programs from the masses, etc.
Conservative AND corporate (mainstream) media pounds this message into their audience thousands of times daily. Most of those who work in conservative media are extremely well paid and for good reason. Get the masses to do the bidding of the 1%.
