The rich by spreading the false notion that they are the jobs creators and by using their money to influence politicians have somehow talked some of you into feeling sorry for them. Well they don't feel sorry for you.
Djplong unwittingly made this arguement for me. The Kennedy reference is not important. What is important is the rich finding another loophole so they do not pay taxes.
Tax tables can be quoted until we are dead. Here is the only stat that matters......1984 the wealthy paid 50% tax rate and were doing quite well. 2010 the wealthy paid 16.6%tax rate and are laughing all the way to the bank with the money. I'm sorry not the bank ,no tax loopholes there.
