LOL....more liberal BS...He could send in extra money if he chose to....would like to see his past returns... << But rage against the 1% is misplaced. Income is not a zero-sum game: The rich aren't getting wealthier at the expense of the poor. Harvard's Lawrence Katz has calculated that even if all the gains of the top 1% were redistributed to the 99%, household incomes would go up by less than half of what they would if everyone had a college degree>> finance.fortune.cnn.com ________________________________ Taxes paid by highest incomes The top 1% pay 22.7% of taxes. The top 10% pay 50% of taxes. The top 20% pay 65.3% of taxes. The top 40% pay 84.3% of taxes. Taxes paid by lowest incomes The bottom 20% pay 1.1% of taxes. The bottom 40% pay 6.1% of taxes. http://constitutionalconservative.wordpress.com/myth-the-rich-dont-pay-their-fair-share/

Sad to see...we are headed over the cliff... en.wikipedia.org <<In many societies, attempts have been made, through property redistribution, taxation, or regulation, to redistribute wealth, sometimes in support of the upper class, and sometimes to diminish extreme inequality. Examples of this practice go back at least to the Roman republic in the third century B.C., [3] when laws were passed limiting the amount of wealth or land that could be owned by any one family. Motivations for such limitations on wealth include the desire for equality of opportunity, a fear that great wealth leads to political corruption, to the belief that limiting wealth will gain the political favor of a voting bloc, or fear that extreme concentration of wealth results in rebellion. [4] Various forms of socialism attempt to diminish the unequal distribution of wealth and thus the conflicts arising from it.
