re: #367 ggt

Is it really effective to talk percentages? With super high incomes, a lower percentage still produces a very large tax burden. More than the average bear pays.

This is how Rush Limbaugh gets away with complaining about how the current tax structure unfairly penalizes the rich. Never mind that they’re keeping more of their money than the middle-class; they’re paying more in an absolute amount because they have more, so therefore, OOGA BOOGA.
