A Little Look At How Our Tax Structure Is Screwed... 28 Percent Is ALL HE PAYS!?


How The Hell Does Cheney Only Pay 20 Percent? $253,067 On 1.3 Million Claimed (He Makes More Than That)

4. What's your point?
Texas doesn't have an income tax.

2. 28 and 20 percent? Ugh... I probably paid a higher percentage
than him.

That's tax fairness for you.

3. And if the selfish pigs would have gotten everything they wanted
in their tax cut legislation, it would have been even LOWER. Remember, these pricks wanted to completely ELIMINATE taxes on dividends, and had to settle for lowering it to 15%.

5. Sounds like a good reason to institute a flat tax
Fair all across the board. Throw out the loopholes for the rich and make everyone pay the same rate.

6. You're kidding me, right?
Almost anybody to the left of Dick Armey is opposed to a flat tax.

7. It's better than the poor and middle class paying more than the rich
Is it not?
