Instead of the 35% bracket they're in, the Obamas paid less than 26%. I saw on another thread, the Bidens paid only 22%.

I guess they'd know first hand the rich did not "pay their fair share" wouldn't they?

"they'll [the Left] often respond that the only reason such a distribution exists is that there's a lot of income inequality in America.

when the rich do what they are supposed to do and reinvest their wealth, they get richer. However, by reinvesting their wealth, they give money to a business needing new capital to grow their business, hire new workers and grow the economy. Why the Left can't understand this is like looking at a dog who wants to chase cars.

It will only be fair when you go to work to pay all you make to Obama’s voting blocs.

You’d be amazed (or maybe you wouldn’t) at how ignorant most Americans are concerning who pays taxes. Many of my Dem friends are firmly convinced that the rich don’t pay any taxes. When I recited the one percent paying close to forty percent of all income taxes to a Dem friend of mine, he refused to believe it. I’ll assume most libs and Dems are as ignorant as my friend.
