The main problem with the tax system is simple.
90% of America's wealth is controlled by 3% of the nation but they only pay 40% of the taxes.

So, why should three percent of the population pay 40 percent of the taxes? Why shouldn't they only pay three percent of the taxes? Why should the top 50 percent of wage earners pay 96 percent of the taxes?

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
