Class Warfare and the Numbers

Class Warfare, the dirty word that conservatives hate to hear because it announces to the poor that there is class warfare and the rich have been winning.  They have been winning because the have been running amok on our, not nation's economy, but our world economy.  The have been winning because they like to make the poor think there is no class warfare while they hoard all our money and resources.  The sooner the have nots realize there is a class war the sooner they will realize they outnumber the haves and THAT is what the rich are scared of.
Now lets talk numbers because fox really hold its audience's intelligence at a very low regard.
The mantra of fox and conservatives these days besides hate Obama is no new taxes.  Taxing the rich will hurt our economy they say.  We aren't asking for more taxes but for all to pay their fair share.  Some idiots would have you believe they pay as much as 60% in taxes and I'll leave that to you to figure out what talking heads are making this ludicrous claim.  The truth is no rich person pays this rate and a little under 1500 of our rich (people making over 1 million) paid no taxes.  Think about it, 1500 of the biggest drains of our system not paying any taxes.  That's 1500 not paying $390,000 (keep in mind, these people earned more than $1 million but we'll keep it conservative in this case)
1500 x $390,000 = $585,000,000
That is a fair share that I would like to see paid in full.  That was monies not paid back in 2009. You can bet this number has become larger in the past few years.  According to fox the rich only make up 1% of our tax payers and it is unfair to tax them??? Of course it is fair, when 1% of the population controls 90% of the wealth in this country.  When these rich hoard money and resources like they have, it hurts our economy, and the only way to release that money again into our economy is to tax it away from them.  Lets stop calling these people job creators when the have been getting tax cuts for the past 10 years and have been failing to create jobs in the past 5 years.
I have not seen a bigger class of pussy footed pantie waste entrepreneurs I have ever known.  They claim they are scared to hire because the fear the coming taxes they will incur?  What a bunch of bullshit and at best it brings to light the biggest cowards in business history.  You can tell which cowards these are when you stand in longer lines, get poor service, buy a sub par product, and wonder who in that company if anyone will help you. Many Americans these days have suffered that feeling more and more because I have heard it more and more. My answer is to stop using that product or service until that company improves or goes out of business.
To my last point, Elizabeth Warren has made it clear in a video that has gone viral .  To sum up, conservitives want you to believe today's rich got that way all on their own.  These "job creator" have become wealthy with help from no one else.  This is the biggest lie being told by talking heads like glenn wreck an sean calamity.  There were educated people who where hired to help make these people rich.  There where firemen and policemen who helped protect the property of that rich person. There are roads and public transportation that help move people to work and products to market, to ask these people to pay their fair share is not only obligatory but should be the standard. That is not even taking into account the resources some of these elite take without consideration to the rest of us. Pay you fair share or find yourselves losing it all when the revolution begins.
