"Yes, and the wealthy need a tax break so they can have more money to spend on ????"

The tax break is not all about "needs". It is about fairness, and it is about getting the economy going. Rich people frequently invest their money in business ventures, which helps the economy. Contrary to your idiotic thinking, over taxing people is more likely to make them save their money than taxing it fairly. 35% of ones income is more than paying their share. What percentage do YOU think they should pay, oh greedy one. What tax penalty will satisfy you?

"and the very wealthy will not, as Buffett wrote, be paying a much smaller percentage of their income in taxes than the average worker they employ"

Now you are admitting that the wealthy "will not" be paying a smaller percentage. Thank you for finally being truthful.

"Do you think that anyone is "dishonest" that analyzes anything in a way that you, in your fogged up thinking, disagree with?"

I showed you the straight percentage math. The numbers cannot be argued with. Until you explain how a smaller percentage is actually larger than a larger percentage, I will consider your long winded and convoluted arguments to be hogwash. Which they are. Like I said earlier, you may just be really stupid. It's one or the other. Only you know for sure.
