not to make this political, but you do realize that the 1% you talk of pay for over 50% of the taxes.

Can Romney rush the passer? I think that's the most important question to ask.

I pay 37% of my income in taxes. Mitt pays 13%. Your argument means nothing. They should be paying 75% of all taxes. They have it all. Hoard it for themselves and rig the system so it never changes.

What deductions do you take and what is the percentage paid for you after you take them...

Makes sense since they have over 85% of all the money.

Did they steal it?

Or did they sneak over the border and automatically assume the status of oppressed poor American Citizen (no questions asked, that would be racist....without doing a damn thing to improve things in their own country) and have the Dems rallying for your cause because its an automatic "Dem vote" down the road?

Well, when you control all the wealth and make all the rules, well, you can't call that stealing per se, but they certainly tipped the scales in their direction, don't you think?

By watching and following his Team, you're contributing, like it or not.

We'll miss you amongst the ranks of Jets Fans. I'm sure you can find a more tolerable liberal owner to be a fan for. Seattle maybe?

No.

But simple math dictates that if they have over 85% of the total wealth that they'd pay pay over 85% of the taxes.

Ah, PK, you should have taken a business course at your local community college.
We do not tax wealth in the country. Taxable income is taxed. And some income is taxed at lower levels.
Perhaps YOU should be putting some of your money into stock in evil corporations instead of going to the topless bar and/or buying those nasty hallucinogens. BTW, you are aware that marijuana usage is now linked to a high incidence of TESTICULAR cancer. Perhaps that explains your gf's recent complaints. LOL.

To make that claim is akin to demanding news coverage of say, the murder of the U.S. Libyan Ambassador be yanked so they can cover the Jets Practice that week.

/facepalm

This will not end well Pete, but we both know that. Best of luck with it.

Nothing like perspective...

Sorry but your argument means nothing until you get your sh*t together, invest in some dividend bearing stocks other tax incentivized securities, donate 16% of your income to charity (though I'm sure you already do), and still pay a 37% rate.
