In the Tench dictionary, "nuance" means "anything I don't agree with". I am guessing that "obfuscate" has acquired a new meaning as well...

Z, > If Taro's point was that the top 1% bear a certain percentage of the overall tax load

The context is whether the rich are paying their "fair share" of taxes.

How do the following "nuances" make more than a minor difference?

- Income taxes are not the same as total taxes.

- 33% isn't close to 40%.

- The CBO's statistics are different than the ones the NYTimes and the WSJ used.
