A new study from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) shows the middle class is paying a majority of federal tax revenues. In addition, the wealthies one-fifth of Americans are paying 69 percent of taxes. How does that compare to the percentage of income generated in the U.S. each year? How is it that the poor are actually making money from the current tax system? Who will get hit the most by the tax policy changes that will kick in at the end of the year? We ask these and other questions to Pete Sepp, vice president for communications at the National Taxpayers Union.
