And it's silly to say that Warren Buffet paid less taxes than his secretary - he was taxed at a lower rate. Mitt Romney paid 3 million dollars in taxes.
President Obama said that economic equality is the issue of our time - no, the issue of our time is abortion. The absence of those killed in abortion is precisely why we lack the people in their 30s and 40s who would be starting businesses and generating jobs - and why we have such economic inequality. And President Obama is on the wrong side of that issue, big time.
