(15,359 posts)have to hide it. They sent their guys around to directly collect from their peasants. One thing about Robme's taxes that I like to see. His 13.9 percent kind of blows up these rich guys that constantly claim paying 50% or more. The "even if you took it all it wouldn't be drop in the bucket" people.
I remember someone doing some research on Billdo O'Reilly when he was going off on taxes. Sure if you added up his federal, state and other local tax rates it comes out to something like 50%. We all know he doesn't really end up paying anything close to that. Deduction and investment income that is taxed at a much lower rate get his actual taxable income way down percentage wise. Of course they will always look at it differently. What they do pay is a lot of money. A much lower percent than most of us but a lot higher dollar figure. The only thing is a lot of them collected more from us than what they paid in.
