Shit, with all his money and he's only paying 14%? I wish I could get away with 14%. But when we do the taxes over here at stately Wayne Manor, we remember about all those cops and troops that protect us, and the highways & bridges that make our trips into downtown Gotham so safe and efficient, and the food inspectors that keep us healthy. Once you get down to it, paying a reasonable tax rate is just another way of ensuring that the good life we enjoy in America will stay the same for future generations of acrobats I might adopt.
