"But in return, we need to change our tax code so that people like me, and an awful lot of Members of Congress, pay our fair share of taxes..."
"But of course, what is needed and what I will actually DO about it are two different things because I'm a stinking liar and you can't believe a word I say." [S-E grin]
"Tax reform should follow the Buffett rule: If you make more than $1 million a year, you should not pay less than 30 percent in taxes."
"Ha ha ha ha! Yeah, 'should follow' and 'will follow' are also incompatible, if you catch my drift."
"And my Republican friend Tom Coburn is right: Washington should stop subsidizing millionaires."
"Yeah, I can always get some stupid RINO to suck up my nonsense and spout it back at me. We really should stop subsidizing ourselves, but we ain't gonna!"
"In fact, if you're earning a million dollars a year, you shouldn't get special tax subsidies or deductions."
"Again, we ain't gonna shoot ourselves in our financial feet just to please you peons."
"On the other hand, if you make under $250,000 a year, like 98 percent of American families, your taxes shouldn't go up. You're the ones struggling with rising costs and stagnant wages. You're the ones who need relief."
"Yes, and we're going to get as many of you 'on relief' as we possibly can so that you can vote yourselves other people's money!!"
"Now, you can call this class warfare all you want."
"Because it is, ha ha ha ha!"
"But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense."
"But it's still class warfare, and I'm gonna win it, even if I have to lie about some secretary who makes $300,000 a year paying more actual dollars in taxes than her billionaire boss who pays millions."
"We don't begrudge financial success in this country. We admire it."
"No, actually we begrudge it, and we want to take it all away from them and give it to our buddies like Solyndra and Ener1 (who got $118 million OF YOUR MONEY to give to their cronies before going bankrupt). Don't you fools realize that we have a sweet, illegal deal going here that involves taking what you have and giving it to the undeserving? No, you don't, ha ha ha ha ha!"
"When Americans talk about folks like me paying my fair share of taxes, it's not because they envy the rich."
And I'm going to change that as fast as I can. Americans need to eat the rich so America and be more like my home country, Kenya."
"It's because they understand that when I get tax breaks I don't need and the country can't afford, it either adds to the deficit, or somebody else has to make up the difference - like a senior on a fixed income; or a student trying to get through school; or a family trying to make ends meet."
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! As if! some old fart or some dumbed-down (thanks to me!) student who couldn't find a booger in his own nose would be able to 'make up the difference' - sorry, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying."
And to sum up everything I've said so far, "That's not right. Americans know it's not right."
“Yeah, I can always get some stupid RINO to suck up my nonsense and spout it back at me.”
