Only paying about a billion in taxes, and some here think he's not paying his "fair share"? WTF?? Did he use more police, fire roads, public works, flood control, National Guard, or other military than you? I think not. Exactly what do you think his "Fair Share" should be? I think those who earn $40,000/year don't pay their fair share. In fact, if you made only $40K last year you probably didn't pay any income taxes. And certainly not enough to pay to put your 2.2 kids through public school. In fact, the average working Joe actually doesn't pay HIS fair share, when you consider monies paid in, and goods and services taken out. Its the "Rich" who subsidize the poor and the middle class in government services. The trouble is that those of you who don't believe this aren't being intellectually honest with yourselves.
