    I wouldn't say that all Democrats don't pay taxes (I know a few misguided individuals who are hard-working people with good morals who have been suckered by the "party of the working man" rhetoric that the Dems spew).

    It would appear however that the high-ranking Democrats have an aversion to paying the taxes they make us pay.

    Are you mendacity or merely blind to the info? "earnings taxes: A kin of four in the best center of the earnings spectrum will pay in trouble-free terms 4.7 % of its earnings in federal earnings taxes this 365 days, in accordance to a sparkling diagnosis by utilising the city Institute-Brookings business enterprise Tax coverage center. that's the third-lowest share in the previous 50 years, after 2008 and 2009."

    tax system needs to be reformed.

    everyone should pay a percentage of their income in taxes

    last year my uncle payed in taxes about half of what my family did. and he makes well over twice as much as both of my parents combined. this isn't working off of a system of percentages. this is working off of things such as tax breaks. many of the rich get big tax breaks by donating a car or a boat to a non profit organization that they are connected to. there for you could legally commit tax fraud. (its what my uncle did) if everybody payed 15% of their yearly income. then there would be no need for complaining about rich people paying more in taxes then the rest of the world. it is a shame that two people in the obama cabenant had to duck out due to not paying taxes. i believe that they deserve prison time for spending taxes without paying them.

    Your right. Republicans only pay taxes when they're trying to get into office. Lol!

    Wealthy Senators who don't pay in taxes more than most people earn in three years, ($128,000 in Daschle's case) are only guilty of "errors".

    Republicans see taxation as robbery. Democrats use taxation to make contributions for a better society.
