So in your world, someone like Mitt Romney for which we have a pretty good idea of the numbers, has no income other than capital gains and dividends, and pays 5 million/year in taxes in addition to his 3 million in charitable donations is "cheating" the poor little guy who works in a factory and earns 30,000/year because (in theory only) his tax rate is lower. Even though that "little guy" is paying ZERO in income tax, just like 47% of the population.

Were you indoctrinated to socialism in college, signed up for an adult "education" course, or simply dropped on your head as a baby?????
