i am biting my tongue so hard its bleeding believe me.

we are talking about percentage of someones income here not total dollars. no matter what the total dollars paid are, the secretaries are paying a higher percent of their income in taxes than hedge fund managers who are capped at 15% of income. The top 1% are far from paying their fair share. Reality is reality depending on which rose colored glasses you are looking through.

Its very kind of you though to be compassionate toward the fortunes of the overburdened rich people while politicians are getting set to carve up social security, medicare and medicaid which many people on ssdi depend on and to which those on ssi its a matter of survival.
