On The Relation Of The 2 And The 40

The wealthiest 2% earn just 22% of all income, but pay 40+ percent of all taxes. Hmmm, isn't that double their "fair share"? Considering that something like 40% of Americans pay zero income taxes, shouldn't they be grateful that because the wealthy work so hard, earn so much, and pay so much in taxes, they get to pay nothing or worse yet receive a "tax credit" (welfare) check at tax time?
