Everyone knows that if you have over 100,000 a year salary, you receive back 40 cents from every dollar you pay the government, but the poor receive back 8 dollars. (estimates only)

I'm curious as to which race of people takes the most money from those who produce. For instance, how many dollars does an Asian middle class executive spend on black people, white people, indian people, OTHER asian people? Likewise, how much money do each of these races spend on each other. I'm curious as to how many dollars per paycheck a white man like me spends on blacks and Mexicans.

This is not meant to be racial in any way, but a purely sociological question.

I think this would be an interesting study. To see how much the average white person spends on the average black person, and vice versa. Also, including the other races.

I think this would do wonders to prove that racism is or isn't justified.

I don't think you can really look at it this way. Because in theory, there are Asians who are poor as well as Asians who are wealthy in the US. This is true for every ethnic group you've mentioned. Since there are no separate taxes for races, that is Black, Asian and White people are all taxed the same if they had the same income. While the same groups, if they made the same lower salary receive the same tax breaks.

You, a White man, are not paying for Blacks and Mexicans, you're simply paying for the people who make lower salaries regardless of race. Your dollar could be going to another poor White man for all you know.

The closest comparison to what you are asking for is getting the average income of Americans separated into race. However, even if I had these exact numbers for you, it is still hard to compare because:

(This is an example, not an indication of earnings by race)Assume Whites had the highest average income and thus taxed more, and Indians had the lowest income and have more tax breaks. And the difference is 20 cents to a dollar. Does this then mean that Whites are spending about 10 cents extra to help the Indians pay their share? No, because the populations of the races are disproportionate. If ratio of Whites to Indians is 10 to 1. It doesn't make sense for them each to contribute 10 cents, because that'll be extra money.

In short, if you're looking for a meaningful estimate as opposed to one that I can fabricate right now, you'll need to find a group that is doing an extensive study on this. And you won't find it on yahoo answers....

EDIT: I just saw your additional info, to which I respond in this way. There will always be more poor people than rich people. So you're always picking up the tab for someone else. But don't worry, chances are, your tab is dispersed amongst all financially struggling Americans regardless of race. And other Americans like you, of every race, is helping to pick up the tab too. There are far more struggling poor White people tugging at your tax money than other races because White is majority in America.

properly responded by each and every of the Natives, i do no longer ought to respond to yet i visit declare i'm in settlement with all of them. i visit declare that my Reservation would not have a tobacco something, we don't produce it or sell it and anybody who smokes will pay the comparable $6 everybody else will pay. while attaining the age of 18 each and every interior reach guy ought to register for selective service, its no longer an selection to no longer. As a BIA worker, i visit declare that the Cobell lawsuit isn't funds for each guy or woman or each and every interior reach. the only Natives receiving something from this lawsuit is IIM economic employer account holders, that are people who're receiving hire funds for land they own fractionated products of. So even in spite of the undeniable fact that i'm an entire blood i'm getting diddly squat by way of fact i do no longer own any land. And, each and each interior reach will get carry of a pair of million-3 thousand, that's small and could no longer make any interior reach wealthy as you may want to assume. As for reparations, we've in no way and in all risk in no way gets reparations from the government. it rather is a uncomplicated delusion unfold extensively by non-natives and foolishly believed by many. As for Casinos, maximum Tribal international locations are in debt, which includes mine. maximum on line casino sales is spent repaying the thousands and thousands owed and no person sees a cent of it, that's no earnings for us as nicely offering some low salary jobs.
