Let us eat shit-cakes

This is an abysmal system that is going to end badly one way or another. No shared sacrifice from these assholes.

The 400 richest Americans used to pay 30% of their income on the average to Uncle Sam. Today, they pay 18% on the average, according to Steve Rattner, a Wall Street financier, who just presented these figures on Mornings With Joe,MSNBC.

The main reason for the drop in their tax rate of some 40% is the tax cuts by George Bush in 2003, taking the rate paid on dividends and capital gains down to 15%.

It's not sacrifice to pay for what you get. It's called being honest.

Taxes are for the peasants, not the aristocracy.

When Ike was president, it was a 91% tax on incomes over 400K.
And America prospered, built the infrastructure highway system...
Since when did 55 years ago become ancient history?
