Why is Barack "fair share" Obama just fine with paying a substantially lower tax-rate than his secretary?

Obama is a blithering idiot. When they talk about how unfair it is to only pay 15% on dividend income they tend to forget that this is the 3rd time the money has been taxed!

1- company paid 35% on their profits before paying the dividend

2- investor paid tax on his/her income used to buy the investment

3- 15% capital gains tax

The dividend income has been taxed too much already. Government needs to stop spending and live within its means!

Please won't one of you people find a legitimate issue. Dogs eating, foreign birth, black panthers, communism, jesus.

Complain that one 11 million more young people are covered by insurance now and not 50 billion like would have been covered if the MCcain Train and sister Very Special Palin got elected.

You are dumb. Nobody volunteers money to the government. He wants to change the tax rates and he doesn't expect people will give money to the government that they don't legally owe. You must really be stupid.

Obama is getting his "fair share" first.

Then he will worry about others.

What is, because he is a hypocrite, Alex?

Liberalism is for the people...not the liberals! It has always been this way.

Thats what his tax rate is. They tried and changed it but the gop wouldn't pass it. You can't just pay more taxes.

Because he's black and his secretary is white.

he also pays female whitehouese workers less than their male counterparts.

hehehehehehehe.. love it!!! Get em girl!!!

He's not. He has said he things people who make as much money as he does should pay a higher rate. .
