I have had years where I pay that much. And when I don't its not far off that.
You badly underestimate people who are not sipping tea with you at your private club.
Actually I was running a youth athletic event today-14 hours of work, no pay. THough I am a national level Judge, I won't take pay for that. Hardly sipping tea which I don't drink anyway. but if you were paying an effective federal rate of 14% that puts you in the top 3% since Mitt pays a higher effective rate than 97% of America
He also pays more in a year than you will pay in your lifetime and I doubt he uses more in a year than you do in a lifetime or even a couple years since he isn't being paid with tax dollars.
