The GOP has been very vocal in recent years about establishing fairness in taxation. In an effort to protect the wealthy from what some conservatives have dubbed “socialism,” Republicans have argued that the only fair system is to tax every American at the same rate, regardless of their income. They claim this belief was adopted to prevent the rich from paying more than their share in taxes than the middle and lower classes. Yet unfathomably, plenty of America’s wealthiest citizens actually pay a much lower percentage of their income for Federal taxes than the rest of the nation.
