17. You likely pay a larger percentage of your income to taxes than billionaire Warren Buffett

He took an informal survey of all the workers in his office, and they wrote down what percentage of their income was taken away through taxes. It turns out Buffett paid the lowest percentage in taxes, and Buffett doesn't even use tax preparation; he simply pays what the IRS asks that he pay.

If you want money to pay off the bills, then tax the people who have the money, not the working class stiffs of America.
