>>they pay a hell of a lot more in taxes than you, me, or Bernie Sanders<< Not if you look at it as a percentage of their total income, Dave. They pay much less of that than you, me, or Bernie Sanders. But, as human beings on planet Earth, it costs them the same to survive.

Nobody avoids taxes except dead people. Goes a 40¢/gal gas tax hit Buffet harder, same or less than a minimum wage worker? How about an 8% sales tax?

...As to the gilded edge, they make their money, and they pay a hell of a lot more in taxes than you, me, or Bernie Sanders... Except for a special class of slimeballs like Willard Romney who would pay a MAXIMUM of 15 percent but in reality pays little or nothing as evidenced by his refusal to disclose tax returns. The rightwingers say if you gotta problem with that take it up with Congress, they write these loopholes. Both parties have been protecting Willard, et al in return for bribes.
