Hedging

Under the tax code, they can pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes on $50 million dollars, than a teacher, or a nurse, or a truck driver in Parma pays on $50,000. That’s very discouraging to people.”
Which is, of course true, what it ignores, though is the fact that Fifty Million is a THOUSAND times fifty thousand, so even if the “evil rich” (How is it, by the way, that the Clinton’s riches aren’t evil?) paid a mere 10% that would be FIVE MILLION dollars, that is, one hundred times the fifty thousand dollar salary of the teacher, nurse (BTW, what nurse makes that little?)and/or truck driver that Clinton mentions in her comments.
Make no mistake about it, even with lower taxes, the rich, (Those Evil bastards) shoulder the lion’s share (and that of several other large animals) of the nation’s tax burdens.
