That article avoids the subject of estate tax cuts for billionaires, tax loopholes and laws allowing CEO's to use their corporations as tax dodges as they take huge bonuses. It also avoids the overall subject of Bushies shifting the tax burden more onto the middleclass from, the rich than it was before. You cannot deny this. It is fact. And that 5% of so shift is worth hundreds of billions in tax relief for the very rich, while dumping the debt and tax load onjto the middleclass. Furthermore, Bush's tax cuts for the rich are pure budget busting. They have never been balanced by any spending cuts. In fact, Bush has upped spending across the board except for things which actually help people in need.

You should read "perfectly Legal" if you want the true skinny on the big self-serving tax moves by the fat cats on the right. You too are subsidizing them. Same with the energy prices and health care prices. All being fixed upwards hoping voters don't notice at election time.

The problem with that analysis is it wrongfully assumes that the wealthy derive most of their income from ordinairy income, i.e a JOB. There is no mention in there of capital gains tax rates for the super wealthy or income from interest and dividends.
