Based on this information then we can safely say that we are living in a communistic country. The basic principle of communism is:
"To bring about happiness and prosperity for all, the distinctions between the rich and poor of society must be eliminated."
This is done by implementing a higher tax rate for the rich and providing the money gained from the rich to the poor through government programs.
Maybe I should clarify a bit: If you read the info, then you see that the lower brackets of people are being SENT money by the IRS. They are still "taxed" in the sense that they need to file, but they have a negative tax rate in effect. I never said only the rich pay taxes, I said they pay most of them. The data proves it. it also helps to define the point where you cut off "rich" in the figures and the IRS tends to do that around $150K-350K.
