I ' m gonna go ahead and actually quote the article the top 10 % of American households pay 45 . 1 % of all income taxesFun fact the top 5 % of Americans own approximately 60 % of the wealth . And the top 10 % own 70 %. So the people who own 70 % of America ' s wealth are paying 45 % of the taxes . Can you call that a fair share ? <| sep |> After sitting on it for four years I finally took the plunge and selfpublished my dark fantasy novel Black March . Hardly a notable accomplishment but gets one more thing out the door . Now if only I knew the first dratted thing about marketing and or could afford a brief ad campaign . Oh well . Still a step in the right direction . <| sep |> Everyone who is not far right fascist is left wing to them , so I guess it makes sense in their twisted worldview .
