text: Not only do I pay federal and state income taxes at a higher rate than do the very wealthy (Mitt Romney, D. Trump, B. Obama ) but the result is that the wealthy have far more discretionary income. So you accuse me of not paying my fair share while excusing the fat cats with great accountants and a lot of "pass-through" income, which is just a completely phony tax bailout. Pretty puzzling, Mot, and pretty cheesy.
