And in DM's case it is deservedly so ! Counting more than wouldn't be inappropiate

DM has to be a fake. He can't really believe the nonsense he spews here. There is no way a supposedly intelligent person can not only believe such idiotic stuff, but have the complete inability to answer even the more direct and simple questions.

Exactly. This is an unfair redistribution of tax burden to the Middle Class (the largest class with purchasing power). Most of us had to tighten our belts and spend less... slowing down the economy so that the ultra rich could take their windfall tax savings and invest them overseas.

If he had income to tax it would have been higher.

Only in America... a multi-millionaire legally dodges the bullet because he has no "income" to speak of. That's part of the problem! LOL

If a multi-millionaire pays $200,000 in taxes, while I paid $7,700 in taxes... who paid more??? I did. Because I paid nearly 22% of my income. The wealthy can dodge having a listed "income" and shelter their wealth in tax havens. At the end of the day I might have paid nearly 22% of my over all worth while they paid a whopping... 11% of their own. Then consider cost of living. While they might have to cut a weekend trip to Europe to make up for their taxes paid... I am holding off buying milk for my kids until pay day and borrowing money for gas to get to work. As you can see... I just bore a far greater tax burden.

Yeah...it's unfair that Romney and others pay over 4 MILLION in taxes every year while most of us in the middl eclass pay very little compared to them, especially after we get our refunds. Those rich folsk should pay their fair share. LOL.

What a joke. Nothing but class envy and jealousy.

Um, if you still actually paid $7700 after taking deductions for Mortgage interest, charitable giving, tithes and child credits then you are making a pretty good amount of money yourself. I doubt your having trouble buying milk.

It's all about percentage compared to cost of living and poverty index. While you might pay less in actual dollar amount... you paid nearly a third of your whole pie... they paid... a small slice of theirs. And they have pie to eat on for a year... you're pie might only last a week.

It's almost like the Republicans have "scammed people" into paying a greater percentage of their wealth so that the rich can pay a lesser percent of their wealth in some pie in the sky hopes that the wealthy won't invest it oversease, but rather start jobs and/or businesses. For the most part...they are taking the money and running guys. They might open 2 jobs... while the money they saved from tax cuts would have opened 60. They open two jobs and invest the rest. Get real guys. Don't you see that this is what's happening. Do you really think these wealthy people get that money and lovingly spend it all to open jobs for me and you??? Get real... they are rich because they save and invest (good things to do if you actually have the money and want to keep it). We aren't going to see but a small fraction of that savings. They're laugh and smoking cigars over piles of money while so many of us are repeating the trickledown mantra like people in denial that they've been scammed.
