You know where I'm coming from. I paid taxes last year at a 28% rate. That's about 18 percentage points higher than what the corporate giant GE paid. Also, I would bet serious coin that a greater percentage of my income went to pay taxes than, say, the president's brother Neil, of Silverado fame.

For those who argue that the rich are overtaxed: Hogwash. It's just a smokescreen for increasing the tax rates of America's middle class.
