I actually agree.. Its not that people dont pay enough, its that government spends more than they should.

I love watching the little Obama pions defend Obama especially when he does so little for them.

It was wrong when you said it, which was 2012, based upon 2011 tax returns. Hell, it wasnt even close to the same considering Romney donated more than Obama made, let alone what Obama donated..

So did Obama pay a lower rate then his secretary or did the Dems magically figure out effective tax rates?

Probably not, Romney has paid an average of about 15% a year, and thats because he donates MILLIONS a year, despite your claim that Obama donates more.

Obama needs to practice what he preaches. He preaches 39% so where is the other 21% Obama. Obama is such a hypocrite and his little pions are so jealous of anyone that makes more than them. Oh I mean the people that actually do work. The other Obama pions are just parasites.

He is a private citizen I believe, so that would be between him and the IRS.

In 2011 he paid 1.9 million in federal income tax.

I wasn't sure if you included me as one of the peons. I never voted for Obama, I don't like his policies (nor Bush II's) and I don't vote for DumboDems or Rebums.

Only the very gullible can really believe Obama cares anything about disadvantaged American citizens.

Obama has never had to struggle, never had to work a low-wage job.
