this country did a lot better from the 1950's through the 1970's when the top 1% pail 90%+ in income tax. Now that the top 1% pay 0% to 15% this country has went to hell. Now tell me again who is to blame?????

I did and managed to put a little back for retirement (very little). What aggravates most people is those who make $250,000 or more a year and still can't make it and complai...more
