- Evbn 13y agoObama didn't say his tax rate was too high, so that isn't relevant.
- Evbn 13y agoPlus ~5% for the income deducting effect of donating 25% of income to a charitable nonprofit not under their control.
- mjn 13y agoSeems like yet another data point in favor of the viewpoint that taxes on the rich in the U.S. are far too low. That goes for Obama, too!
- Houshalter 13y agoDoesn't mean it isn't too high. The US didn't have any income tax for most of it's history. It started a hundred years ago at only 7% on the richest.
