they want to ignore the many tax breaks that reduce their tax liability. Congress has added to them for decades. People like this idiot want us to believe that the wealthy pay the full tax rate and are put upon if that rate is raised. This is the talking point that is repeated endelessly in media.
Wonder what this person's adjusted tax rate was on their last return. We should all be allowed to see it.
