You’d have a point if the facts were anything like your metaphor suggests. But they aren’t. The draft horse here is doing all the pulling. The dog and the ferret don’t pay any federal income tax at all. Limiting discussion to individual federal income tax, because that’s the federal tax that isn’t really a pension program or a road use fee or something—-we have this:

The richest ten percent get something like 30 percent of the income and pay 50 percent of the taxes; the richest 20 percent get 50 percent of the income and pay 80 percent of the taxes, and so on. [No, I don’t have a link. But we all know this is more or less how things stand.] As a general rule, high incomes pay higher tax rates per dollar. That’s just a fact.

What is your word for someone who puts up a post that is contrary to fact, knowing that it runs counter to fact, in an effort to win an argument?

“[No, I don’t have a link. But we all know this is more or less how things stand.] “

You all may be so smart, but I’m… Dim!

Citations or I’d argue you’re just pulling things out of your rear end.
