The United States tax code favors lower income Americans too much already and should be restructured to make it fairer to upper income earners, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said.

In an interview that aired on “CBS This Morning” Tuesday, the Kentucky Republican said he is ready to sit down with “this president or the next president” and have an animated discussion about the tax code to “reach a conclusion” that would bring down the ballooning U.S. deficit.

Oh those poor suffering rich people, they really need a break don’t you think?

Yes, the top 10% owns roughly 85% of the wealth in this country and those poor bastards pay 70% of the taxes. We need those poor people to pick up that 15% of taxes even though they don’t own that wealth. Makes perfect sense, more tax for the people that have less.
