The reason 53% pay federal personal income tax is a major mistake. When the Republicans proposed it back in 1909 they said it would affect only the top 1% or 2% of money earners.

So there, 53% is 51% MORE than was promised.

Now, the big reason we've withdrawn much of the federal personal income tax from the backs of the lower 50% is a guy named RONALD REAGAN!

We have a candidate running for us who actually opposed Ronald Reagan ~ and he's telling this crazy Hannity story that the way to deal with the poorer half of the nation is to raise their federal personal income taxes.

You guys are nuts. You are trying to lose this election for everybody with this tale!

I know it's unpopular, but all the same, don't you think everybody ought to pay their fair share?

Or are we doomed to continue socialism, just because nervous nellies like you are too afraid of doing the right thing?
