I think what really burns Obama and his socialist ilk is the lower tax rates people making big money sometimes pay - if their income comes from investment payouts - but how many like them would show up for work everyday if they knew that at the end of the workday, instead of getting a guaranteed paycheck, they’d face a cointoss after which, if the coin can up the wrong way, they’d get paid nothing or even have to pay the boss for having shown up at all - lower tax rates on investment income are necessary to induce people to put their efforts and resources at risk - a fact of life which seems way over Obama’s head.....
The Obama 15% rule.
Obama is a 1%er that paid 15% below the Bush rates.
Well, if we took into consideration the many trips and vacations, and all of the golf games, and all of the spending the Obamas did to take their friends along, then the total in “earnings” would be into the many millions, but, since they’re writing those off as fair and necessary for government business, then, the people are stuck with paying for all of that unnecessary spending, which should be lumped in with earnings by the Obamas. Gifts that the regular J. Doe gets in the private sector, have to be included as earnings/assets, so why can’t the Obamas be taxed on that money which shouldn’t be charged to the government?
