The Reaganomics Fraud:

Obama said in a speech last week that top earners -- himself included -- should pay higher taxes.

First Read - First Family paid $453,770 in federal taxes for 2010 on $1.7 million income

So that is a 26% tax rate? Seems a little low to me for someone making $1.7M a year. Surely hes in a higher tax bracket than that.

The president and his wife also reported donations to 36 different charities totaling $245,075, with the largest single donation going to the Fisher House Foundation, a program that supports the families of members of the military receiving special medical care.

You know that if you're in the 35% tax bracket, you don't pay 35% of your total income, right?

Whoah, it's like you're clairvoyant! You just knew it. No fucking shit sherlock...

Quid pro quo, Starling, you didn't answer my question either.

Most normal people vote their own self-interest, that should come as no surprise. Well, except for anyone making less than $100,000 who votes GOP, then they've voting for some Fortune 500 CEO's self-interest.

And guess what - no one likes paying taxes. And yes that's money that could have gone for other goods and services, or more employees' wages, or home or business improvements. Big fucking deal. Life is hard. I don't like paying my rent or my car loan either, but if I stop, I'll be living in a box and walking to work. So sure let's all stop paying taxes, everyone's got some excuse surely. And you can pave your own roads, and defend your own property when the Yellow Horde from China attacks, and pump water from your own well, and shit in a hole in your back yard.

I've been in the top tax bracket since either 1994 or 1995.

And it's funny how you bring up the Yellow Horde. They don't scare me at all. It's the entitled horde that represents the real threat -- the ones who are already getting subsidized who can't help asking for more.

So when someone buys you dinner, do you complain to them that they didn't get you something to-go for lunch the next day as well?

Have you seen plunkey? Have you seen his wife? Of COURSE he's in the top tax bracket...
