"(& we all know that in real life, employees have a much harder time shielding income from taxation than the owners of businesses or capital)"

What are these "shields" Nadine?. I own a business and have some capital (less and less every day lately). The only shields I have been able to come up with are mortgage interest and charitable contributions. Please enlighten me on the others.

"then you should target the tax cuts"

You are not qualified (and neither is the dem party) to decide who gets what. Targeting the tax cuts is called re-distributing the wealth. I contend that the top 1% paying 21% of the taxes (your statistics) is FAIR enough. Again, what percentage do you feel they should pay. 30%, 50%, 100%? What is it Nadine?
