Other than Buffet, can you name a "millionaire or billionaire" that pays less taxes then you.

not less taxes, percentage of total income in taxes. huge difference.
 
Somehow I hear the old bad line........ "other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

Said from the land of prosperity... Michigan

Many of us are doing quite well here in lovely Michigan - thank you for caring. It could be worse - its not Nevada with the heat and a worse economy. It reminds me of the line about ...."I was sad because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet."

my homestate is a beautiful one, especially northern michigan, if ever there was a 'GOD'S COUNTRY', that is it.
 

Thanks for that site Conservative. It is falling down hilarious. I could not decide if they were simply a bunch of extremist religious whacko's or people trying to scam you into buying silver coins. Then I found the link to the SUCK bottle opener as one of their ten recommended gifts. You really have a talent for finding this off the wall crazyness. great job and do keep us rolling in the aisles.

While it is true that many in Michigan are doing well and that is great. That being said, many are not doing well in the state that a lot of people feel was the central player in building our middle class through the auto industry.

Right, attack the site and ignore the substance. Want more? What is the unemployment rate in Detroit?

That is 100% true. You cannot export the manufacturing base overseas without harming lots of industrial workers in this part of the nation.

Attack the site?!?!?!? I thanked you for providing it. It really gave me a good laugh. I have not seen such a combination of religious whackiness and conservative extremism combined with just pure bad taste in a long long time.

Got any more like that Conservative?

LOL, that site was hilarious!
 
Turtle im still waiting on some historic proof from your claims.....
Just waiting.
You know hanging out... Waiting...

Anyone that gets most of their income from investments pays a lesser percentage of their total income in taxes than the middle class, which includes me.

Thanks for showing that liberal compassion, laughing at someone else's misfortune? That is what liberals do so thanks for confirming that. Only a liberal would laugh at the extremely high state unemployment, 10.9% and Detroit which looks like a warzone with unemployment more than double that. Hardly results that should be laughed at.
 
"the evidence tends to point to the conclusion that the really rich pay less in taxes as a percentage of income then their merely well-to-do counterparts -- if their income comes primarily from investments. Overall, we rate Buffett's statement True."

So Politifact trumps IRS data? Why would the IRS lie about that? You want badly to buy the Obama and liberal rhetoric. Too bad as that doesn't make you look anything but foolish.

Nothing prevents you from sending in more, why aren't you doing that?

Correction: Politifact trumps the Fox News interpretation of the IRS data.

What a stupid comment! Why would I send in more, if those at the top are paying less of a percentage of their total income than I am.

Then why don't you got to the IRS data referenced and prove the site wrong? You have no interest in the truth, just your biased, partisan beliefs. You have no problem with liberals making you look foolish.

IRS says they aren't and if you care so much about the revenue going to the govt, then where is that civic duty you seem to believe is so important. You ought to be paying more.

Because politifact already did that.:shrug:
