He can always pay more voluntarily and set a good example for us all. Funny how that never happens, we just get smart comments from libs about how someone else doesnt pay enough.

So you want a federal sales tax? No thank you, that hurts the people on the bottom the most.

Ok so Obama paid 20.4 % in taxes and Romney paid 13.9 percent and the average Tea Partier around here didnt pay any taxes because they are on disabilty, SS, Medicaid, Medicare, etc and part of the 47%. Guess who the socialist is...Obama! Does anyone around here know a Tea Partier that pays taxes? From their rallies and people who look like they are on disability not many. By the way since 47% dont pay taxes if you are a Tea Partier maybe your part of the 53%...doubtful but maybe..

I kind of wonder why Tea Party types dont volunteer more since they support Medicare, Medicaid for seniors, Tricare, VA, and all the defense spending. The first person in line should be a Tea Partier...oh I forgot they dont pay taxes...most are part of Romney's 47%.

Given the Op's fondness for all things Sarah.....

She made $125K a year as governor, her last full time job. This site and others peg her net worth at $12 million +/-.
