The Congressional budget office says the top 20% of earners pay 68% of all the income taxes paid while the bottom 20% pay nothing. Obama says 68% is not a fair share, and I agree with him. The top earners do indeed deserve a tax cut.

MYTH: The Bush tax cuts caused the deficit. FACT: In 2002, tax revenues were $1.85 trillion. In 2007, revenues were $2.57 trillion — a 39 percent INCREASE.
