irs2
so yesterday i said there were a couple of things to be wary of when using irs numbers to determine who's paying their fair share of the tax burden and who isn't. but i only mentioned one reason. the smaller reason. and yeah +13% taxes really is small potatoes. consider this: using the irs numbers is like counting chickens after the fox has already left the hen house. i explain. the tax law is so full of holes that only 1% of warren buffett's gains count as income. sheehs. hell, i'd happily pay 90% tax rate on 1% of my income. sign me up. that'd be an extra 1.5 airplanes in my hangar. what say, we first focus on fixing this $billion hole. then, if we still have the gumption, we can quibble about pocket change. timmer for president.
