so what did he say that was so controversial or incorrect?
am i missing something, that seemed like a true statement to me.
well i guess it is dishonest because its actually 49%. lol

And when looked at further, it doesn't do much to work politically.  Look at who doesn't pay taxes.  Secondarily, look at why more people on the lower end don't pay taxes.  Do you seriously think the average person is going to vote for tax cuts on the top end, when they themselves don't get any?  So, end result was that Republican administrations pased stuff like the Earned Income Tax Credit that took working lower classes of the income tax payroll, so the upper end could get tax cuts.

I have seen how you post on here, and I can say honestly you would LOVE to cut taxes more on the upper end, and also you don't like the fact the lower end doesn't pay any taxes.  So, do feel free to go ahead and argue for how you want the taxes cut even further for the upper end, and raised on these lower end "moochers".  Go ahead and do it.  I will also ignore sales taxes, taxes for social security, medicare, uneploymnent insurance, and sales taxes also, and just say the only taxes paid are income taxes.  So, go ahead and argue this point.   You are free to talk about more taxes on the upper end as "punishing success" to, while on the lower end speak of it as "putting skin into the game".
