It was lowered down to 46% and now days the super wealth pay less than 20%. I'm all for paying as little taxes as possible, however the right just wants to cut taxes but never wants to cut spending. If the right wants low taxes, then they need top cut the spending and not just try to making it a partisan issue by only trying to cut spending on so called entitlements while trying to add to the military budget and shovel truck loads of money to big business.
That's why Bush Jr destroyed the budget by giving away the surplus before the budget was completely balanced then put two wars on Chinese credit cards. Obama of course hasn't been a saint, but he was also let holding the back of a ruined economy with bail outs already signed by Bush and 2 wars that were already being added to the credit debt.
Republicans talk the talk when it comes to spending and budgets but they never walk the walk.

Still with the same percentage bullshit. Everyone should be paying the same dollar amount. or a tax percent on the money's spent. That is the only way things would be "fair"
The economy/jobs stuff is a bunch of bs for people to whine about, If they wanted things fixed they could do it almost overnight with just a few changes on things.
