The top 1% is the permanent political class, and they favor leftist ideology. Cruz gets it.
Nonsense. $400,000 is top 1%. I've cracked that a couple times. Got my first real job at 33 after college, medical school and 6 years of residency making $25K a year working 60-80 weeks. After federal, state and local tax I pay close to $.65 on the dollar in taxes. I work evenings, weekends, nights and holidays. 2 kids soon to be in college. I drive a Subaru and wife drives a 12 year old Nissan.
You put me in a "permanent political class" and the IRS puts me in the same category as Zuckerberg and Buffet. Of course thanks to OholeCare I won't be there much longer, but no matter what, I'm sure I still won't be paying my "fair share".
