Since we're still talking about only the 3.8% on the income OVER $250,000, I'm sorry...Tell me again where the mistreatment of the richest 1.5% is occurring?

You conveniently forgot to add your "AMT" rant in the above.

I said what I wanted to say... But isn't it nice to know that I have you around to remind me of what you think I left out?

Actually the rich already pay most of the taxes. Much of the middle class is able to skate on income taxes.

yeah right.....the amount my daughter and her husband pay on a cop's and paramedic's salary is hardly "skating". (I would consider them middle class, certainly not upper middle class) Please provide some proof of that statement.

Since I paid about as much in taxes last year as I used to make in gross salary just 5 years ago, I question the veracity of that statement... You got proof, other than some FauxNews talking-point?

Better see what ss is smokin'.
