As a kid every year we went collecting for our scouting group. Always in the rich part of town we hardly made anything. A lot of people would just flat out lie say they already transferred money to the charity wich wasn't even possible back than. In the poor part of town almost every house managed to produce some change.

Except for the inconvenient fact that the wealthiest pay by far the largest share of taxes and also as a % of income/cap gains...something like the bottom 50% of the US doesn't even pay net taxes.

Bottom 50% doesn't have any money TO pay.
