I would like to ask how you feel about your tax rate being "upwards of 30%"and at the same time the top income earners paying 14 or 15 percent, I believe you have argued in the past that the top of the financial food chain pays more than their share of the taxes, I believe they do pay something like 70% of the taxes or something like that but it seems to me it is very unfair to you and others like you to be paying "upwards of 30%" of your income while they they pay a rate of somewhere in the mid teens.... just seems a little one sided.
And the DO pay more than their share........remember 15% of their income is something like MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars.....so as a percentage of income it is small, but as a percentage of TAXES collected, it is a significant amount.
