It's hard to argue against that.\"</p>\n<p>The data tell a different story. On average, the wealthiest people in America pay a lot more taxes than the middle class or the poor, according to private and government data. They pay at a higher rate, and as a group, they contribute a much larger share of the overall taxes collected by the federal government.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>via <em><a href=\"http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iP3lhS4ZQ-UhyUvFfUgdPCiu-jJA?docId=47a565563a294b2bad96544a7f0ddc1b\">The Associated Press: FACT CHECK: Are rich taxed less than secretaries?</a></em>.</p>\n"
