NOTHING WRONG except the tax code, and if you cannot see this as a simple illustration of ONE example of what is wrong with the tax code, you are not the man I thought you were.
Your response is one of the quick draw defenses on here by liberals...this is an example of problems with the tax code that must be fixed but you guys would much prefer the tax the rich....an so on instead of the real issue.
