it really is no mystery to wait for how it happened. The federal tax laws of this country allow it.....that means it ain't illegal. You might not like it....but anybody at any earnings or wealth level are eager to take advantage of those laws, loop holes and interpretations that allow one to pay less, little or no taxes.

That is why the big deal tax question is such a joke.....when do we move on to the real issues affecting America? How about Obama's alleged real estate deal in Illinois with his real estate buddy to sell of pieces of property to diminish the real value and pay lessor tax? Don't worry about it. He is a lawyer...he did not do anything illegal.....some of us just don't like it.

It has nothing to do with or affect electability....just like it apparently did not affect voting for Obama.
