Well…I was laughing my butt off this morning when I read of the new defense of ole Mitt only paying 15% in taxes on his investment income with the right trying out the line that he followed the law, didn’t he? I agree he may have followed the current law, we’ll wait for the tax returns before I accept that he has, but I think the right and the media are missing the point…what makes investment income different from the income that comes from wages? Income should be treated as income no matter what the source, there should be no privileged income…and the problem as I see it is that that rich have bought themselves different treatment than the rest of us by campaign contributions and the connections of the old boy network here in the US. That is where the rich diverge from the rest of us and is why the 99%’ers are so angry…and the difference is that most of us don’t mind paying our fair share and can’t afford the cadres of lawyers that the 1%’ers use to ensure they pay the very least that the code allows….we need to fix the code that allows this kind of nonsense that makes an unemployed person pay more taxes than a millionaire…
