Aren't these people in political 'service' and as such; should either 'pay more than their fair share' - or - we just pay them a whole lot less. Altruism is just that. And while Obama makes his appeals to our young citizens to abandon Capitalism, while instead; asking them to embrace the 'service models' of business; seems we should by consequence; demand that he lead the way here; and abandon every and all efforts for 'personal gain'; while President.
(Almost choked last night when he spoke of his being impacted, 'too' by 'charitable giving' tax rate and that this was no big deal. This from a man who NEVER, gave no more than one percent of his earned income; and that was probably high for the Obama's.)
Obama!. . .thy name is Master HYPOCRIT and The 'ONE'. . .Liar Supremo. . .
