Okay you highly paid Americans, when are you guys going to learn to pay your fair share? Okay you highly paid Americans, when are you guys going to learn to pay your fair share?

Russell,

I know you're kidding but I find it ironic that someone in Washington DC is able to tell me what my "fair share" is. This seems to be a common trait with those folks who also believe it's my responsibility to pay their salary, their travel expenses for family and staff, entertainment, vacations, retirement, and anything else they can enact into law. It's interesting how they can determine an income level that they think is "fair". Wonder what re-election formula they use to come up with this number.

Only in government could an intentionally complex and inequitable system whereby people pay different rates based on their income, marital status, number of children, size of home, religion, and state of residence be considered "fair" taxation.

I believe if we could tap the energy of the founding fathers spinning in their graves, we could completely eliminate our dependence on foreign oil.
