top 1% pay 40% of taxes, top 5 % pay 60%, 50% of people in this country pay no taxes.

They bailed themselves out with their own tax dollars. I doubt the majority (not everyone so no individual anecdotes) of you contributed little to nothing at all.

50% of congress are millionaires, perhaps this protest is on the wrong doorstep

What if those who pay taxes stopped paying? Reverse protest! No entitlements any more. I should be begged by a dirty hippie to pay my taxes.
