Here's a few stats for Mr. Cool.

The corporate tax rate is not 15% it is 35%.
You need to earn about $380K to enter the 1% category.
That 1% earn about 18% of all income in the U.S.
But they pay 40% of all taxes.

Corporations and high earners pay far more than "their share".

The people protesting are ignorant. But I do agree that corporations have too much influence on the political process.
