A new report shows that the richest 1% of Americans earned 15% of the income but paid 24% of federal taxes.
So… is Obama SURE he wants the rich to pay their “fair share”?

I’m in the top 10% of earners. We earn 40% of the income and pay 60% of federal taxes. I am sick and tired of people like Obama who tell me
I’m not paying my fair share, when 60% of voting age people pay nothing. Anyone who thinks that someone who pays nothing is paying their fair share has a really bad definition of “fair”.
Fair is not a percentage. It is not a number. Fair only exists as an agreeable idea between two people. A fair price is one you are willing to pay for the service rendered or the item obtained. If you ain’t paying you should have no voice in determining what is fair or not. If you are the one paying for it, you are not the one providing it.

Obama’s just mad that they only “earn” 15%, in a true utopia, that would be more like 90%
