Well, they are not rich, you know.

Not like THAT other ‘famous’ couple whose wife can be a stay-at-home mom.

...the White House suggested that Mr. Obama believed that he should pay a higher rate...

Who's stopping him or any other socialist from signing over all their 'excess' and 'unfair' money to the government?

Obozo needs to STFU and put his money where his mouth is. Talk is cheap and giving other peoples money away far too easy.

The definition of “rich” isn’t just people who make $250K a year — its people who make $250K a year who DON’T vote for Obama and the Democrats. Rich Democrats have a pass on paying taxes since they vote the right way and say the right things and give money to Obama.

I am confused (like everyone else). For this federal tax amount, they wrote off around $230k. What write-offs do they have? Their house in Chicago should only be around $30k, their family of 4 would be around $25k. So where did he write off another $175k from his income.

Bigger question, is why would this man write anything off? He wants to redistribute. Start at home.

you only need to file a gift tax form when you exceed the annual $13,000 tax-free gift limit. But it’s also prudent to send in that Form 709 every time you make a transaction with a family member over $13,000 - even if it wasn’t a gift. If you forget, there could be trouble with the IRS down the road.

******

Unless he made a GIFT to someone over $13,000 it is NOT a ‘gift’ it’s a donation to a charity which is tax deductible (TAX SUBSIDY according to Obama).

He should pay a higher rate huh? Ok, then offer to reimburse the taxpayers for all the freebies you get.....free transportation for vacations, free food for the family, private security, free rent, free utilities, insurance, drivers, gasoline, other auto expenses . . .

Or voluntarily donate to the Treasury

Or substantially increase your contributions, and to bona fide charities too, and to ones that aren’t race-based.

“was never our plan to bring the deficit down and get the debt under control.”.

Translation: Take money from hard working, successful people and give it to welfare ACORNs with 10 kids by 10 different guys.

This Kenyan is what Joe McCarthy tried to save this country from. He’s why we need Joe McCarthy’s movement back...now more than ever.

Anyone but the racist Kenyan Communist. Ted Bundy, Jack The Ripper, Charles Manson...anyone!

Presidential pay ignores that fact that he gets everything for free, so he doesn’t need any money. He gets free vacations, free food, free clothing, he pays nothing for gas, has a free house, free lawn care. I think he probably pays for his daughter’s private school.

It’s pretty easy to live when everything is provided for you.
