Remember "Fair Share" ?
« on: April 13, 2013, 09:18:17 AM »
  Obama says folks who make $600, 000 should pay at least 35% of their pay in taxes.  I suppose this should be even higher for folks who don't have any household or transportation expenses..
  So let's see how much the Obama's paid...

  Fair share? Obama Only Pays 18.4% Tax Rate AP(WSJ)
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama paid $112,214  in federal income taxes in 2012 on adjusted gross income of $608,611, an  effective rate of 18.4%, the White House said Friday.
The first family's income declined from the $789,674 in adjusted gross income  they reported in 2011. That year they paid total federal taxes of $162,074, an  effective rate of 20.5%. Their 2012 income continues a steep decline from 2010  when they reported $1.7 million in adjusted gross income, the bulk of which was  royalties from sales from books written by Mr. Obama.

Interesting,.......people that SAY rich should pay more in taxes, dont just volunteer to pay more in taxes.

That's why liberals will never put a number on what is a "fair share" - their definition of fair has different meanings depending on who they're talking about, you or them.

I never knew that flag had that name. probably was taught about it in grade school but that was a whole lot of years ago and I've forgotten a lot. Anybody seriously saying that reverse discrimination doesn't exist lives in a vacume! I've known a lot of black guy's that are damn good men and they will all tell you reverse discrimination does exist.

this, hopefully, is another step in the loss of credibility with this, so-called, 'president'...the worse president in American history.

hopefully he will be impeached or recalled...
