"People who pull in 100's of millions to 5 billion a year are paying 20-21% of AGI......they are not paying a fair share..you disagree???" no, they are paying way too much in taxes. They need a major tax break.

See in order to raise taxes on those folks, liberals will raise taxes on everyone .... I remember how the AMT started ... it was because of a news story about a few millionaires who had no tax liability ..... now tens of millions of people have to pay the GD'd(!) AMT. And the income tax itself was started as something that would only affect rich people. This class war crap is designed to arouse envy, resentment and it will be used against the middle class ... always has been, always will be. Because thats where the money is. If they could confiscate ALL the wealth of all the billionaires, it wouldn't fund the budget deficit a single year.

how many "people" do you know pulling in 5 billion a year? If you are talking corporate, remember every time you increase their tax, your COG goes up. That's not good. How much tax did O'blabby's 'dawwwwgs' pay?. BTW, what's up with that war mongering community organizer in the WH?
