It would be insteresting to see all the numbers on the tax break. Like how much they are already paying. How much this actually costs the US, etc. The article seemed pretty slanted.

I'm guessing this is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money that's pissed away on stupid crap (like banning gay mariage, etc).

I do agree though that "Our President is an Idiot!!!". I may not have agreed in the past but it's quite obvious that at best he's not doing much good, and at worst he's doing an awful lot of bad.
I'm with you, the Top 1% of Taxpayers pay way more than their FLAT share of Taxes!

What if you have a good idea, work harder, and be sucessfull you should pay a higher PERCENT of taxes?

Be lame, drop out, don't think, don't work hard and you get REWARDED by get a LOWER PERCENT TAX?

That's what is taking the motivation away in America, it just doesn't pay to do what's right and work hard anymore!

Is that "Fair"?

But who realy gets the shaft is the middle to "upper middle", they have all the higher Taxes with none of the lower or higher income level breaks!

Too "Rich" to get student loans for your kids, AFDC, Section 8 and Food Stamps, but too poor to BUY yourself a tax shelter, we are the middle and we are screwed, just "pulling the wagon" for the bottom and the top!


IMHO.....
