It's easy to make 'the poor' look like freeloaders when you concentrate on the taxes they don't pay - like scolding someone who walks for not paying the gas tax.

Yes, 'the rich' are paying most of the income taxes - BUT they are paying a smaller percentage of their income in those taxes than they have in decades.
Please explain how the Buffet rule, which the President is traveling the country touting, will help anyone.

Please explain why not looking at Ryans budget (on which I have a TON of questions and negative thoughts) to see if there is anything there to cut, WHICH BY THE WAY, BOTH parties feel has to be done !
