So your not denying the fact that slaves were black but though it was ok to yell RACISM? Bringing up slavery means ones a racist? So now saying that individuals are black is "racism".. Yes, I must be racist, hold while I tell my BLACK children and hold while I call the schools because I think "slavery" is a subject taught in school...
Its not racism to discuss FACTS, its racism when you use that fact against an individual. Give it a break
April 15 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama paid $855,323 in federal taxes for 2008 on an adjusted gross income of $2.66 million, according to copies of his tax returns released by the administration.
The couple reported a total income of $2.73 million. The majority of their earnings, almost $2.5 million, came from proceeds on sales from the president’s books, “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope.”
The Obamas reported giving $172,050 to 37 charities, or about 6.5 percent of their adjusted gross income, according to a summary provided with their tax documents.

What did salvery and Obama's race have to do with this thread/discussion/ debat? You brought it up as a lowball dig and now you're trying squirm out by distraction.
He should. According to many, he doesn't deserve this money anyway. He only got it by stepping on the poor.
It's sad that it's noteworthy that the President paid his taxes.
What poor people did Obama step on?..You must mean Bush. His tax code screws the middle class and poor. Who do you mean by many..The .000001 percent of the population that dressed up in costumes yesterday and called themselves teabaggers?

I'm just stating the arguments made by many on this site that the wealthy get that way by stepping on the poor and don't earn it. Is that true or is he the exception? I've always argued that they earn it - in most cases.

mmm, which was lower, mentioning that Obama was black, a FACT, or mentioning that another poster is a racist for bringing up the FACT
your digging yourself into a hole... Stop while your ahead...

Hmmm... Maybe the Obamas should have saganista do their taxes. Saganista claims to earn in the top 1% but pays under 20% in taxes, not the 32% of AGI the Obamas paid.

Bush gave EVERYONE a tax cut, so when did tax cuts turn into screwing the middle class? Bush also gave the poor and seniors benefits like prescription drugs, and higher credits.
How EXACTLY did Bush screw anyone, let alone the poor (other than future tax payers by running a deficit)? I'm waiting for FACTS from you, seems pretty hard for you to put together..
I thought Obama was not wealthy? He was like the middle class families. Yea right. Send his kids to private schools but takes away vouchers that help poor kids attended private school.

Yeah, I saw a interview of the smart, yet poor and black, kids that no longer can attend the private schools they've been going to for almost 5 years. One has to go back to his neighborhood public school for his senior year. That's got to be heartbreaking and scary. He's probably lost all his survival skills since he's been in private.
