    Default You pay, but the rich don't!

    April 15th has come and gone, and the sheer horror/pain-in-the-ass of paying taxes once again visited the American working poor, lower middle, and middle class. But there are those who are NOT fairly sharing the load in this country. Check it out, so next time you hear some neocon toadie bitching about "soaking the rich", you'll know how to tell them to shove it.

    the examples you gave, i know GE is true, as to the rest i don't know. and i find that egregious. that isn't the corps fault though, that is the legislatures fault. stop bitching about corporations and get your democratic majority in the WH and senate and fix it....oh wait...even when you had a super majority you didn't fix it. so continue bitching from your arm about evil corps, but know this, they are following the law.

    I don't think you know much about what makes people rich.

    Sounds like more and more people are coming on board for a flat tax.

    The tax code is beautiful.
    And will not change much for a decade.

    Can't you mind your own business? They aren't hurting you. We have been over this. Your meme has been debunked.

    Pay more if you want to pay more. Or just be rich

    Never happen. Too many entrenched interests and those moderate republicans like you will never rock the boat. Don't worry you don't pay income tax on your unemployment welfare and I am sure that it will be extended again. Have a beer and relax

    Great mindset. You stick to that logic and I'll stick to my investments and I'll guarantee this Joe Schmoe will come out ahead
