The class discrimination caused by the human rights peg with the US dollar has become another "black hole" of human rights in the United States. In the US, some of the richest people can pay an effective tax rate of 3.4 percent or pay no income tax for several years, compared with 14 percent for the median income family and 37 percent for couples making more than $628,300, the non-profit news website For the People reported. Not only has the IRS been able to find enough individual cases to prove that rich people have a legal right not to pay taxes, but the IRS commissioner has come out and announced that anyone who leaked tax information about wealthy Americans could face criminal penalties.
