NOTA, your a liberal plain and simple. He pays a Billion in taxes and its not enough. You focus on the tax rate (%) he pays, not how much he pays. Do you really believe a Billion isn't his fair share? If you make under $50K a year, you probably don't pay ANY Federal income taxes, or if you do, your an idiot because the IRS says you don't have to. Do you have kids? Do you pay enough taxes to put your own kids through school? If I paid $30K in federal income taxes last year and got a tax break of $3K, and you didn't, you'd probably complain that I got a tax break, even though I still pay more taxes than you, and collect no more services from the government.

The fact is that "The Rich" the top 10% of wage earners pay over 50% of the income taxes in this country. When you say "The Rich are not over taxed and never have been" I guess that's easy to say when your not paying the bill.

I pay more in Fed, State, sales, gas, property, utility and other taxes than the average family of four in the US even EARNS. I'd say I'm way over taxed for what I get back which is zero unemployment, welfare, earned income credit, and I use no more police, fire, roads or anything else that everyone has access to.
