So why the hell are you ranting about max marginal rates of 36-39% What kind of a tax advisor were you not to tell your clients (the 100's) how to lower their taxes....you sucked as a CPA... And you now attack dems for announcing the tax rate they pay and that they don't object to an increase....effing hypocrite.. And we now know who the nitwit is.
