Somebody, quick! Find Frau Kaleun's tiny violin gif!...
You hear all the time about the 1% vs the 99%; this is a prime example of why we, as a nation, are in the mess we now find ourselves. This is the attitude of the vast majority of the 1% that "makes the rules" for the other 99%. Consider this: 1% of the $350,000 he bitches about is $3,500, which would make for a decent enough monthly salary for most families or $42,000/yr (btw, this is $8,000 below the 'median' U.S. family income of $50,000/yr). His 'unlivable' $350,000/yr is 7 times the U.S. median family income; on his 'paltry' amount, 7 median families can live for 1 year or 1 median family can live for 7 years...
Also, I would be interested in knowing his full federal tax burden; what loopholes. exemptions, deferrals, etc. is he eligible for since he is in a high income bracket. Is he paying the approximately 38% of Joe Median of is he a Romney-esque 14.5%? Inquiring minds want to know...
