This one is already getting a lap around the *news circuit.

He has pulled a 180 on virtually everything else he at one point or another believed in... why would it surprise anyone?

Holy cow. Can I have a flop with that flip?

Anyway, welcome to life sweetheart; it ain't "fair."

That's still a remedial question. Everybody complains about taxes. And the more you are taxed, the more you will bitch about it. Wealthy bitch when they have to pay more than the middle class and poor, and middle class will bitch when they're paying just as much as somebody that can afford to pay more. Bitch sit down and shut up...daddy is paying for your college tuition, the same college tuition that can't be afforded by somebody with a low tax bracket. Your dad is fucking fine.

If you don't like it, then I dare you to stop attempting to make money.

I know I missed the point of that, but we all know McCain is a flip flopping douche. And we all know many of the people that'll vote for him will do so no matter what.

60% ??
please. show me one citizen paying 60% income tax.

here's the IRS's current page, on what we're supposed to pay.

great example of why exaggeration undermines an otherwise potentially valid point.

Lets take a step back.

Is it fair that your father the doctor can charge hundreds of dollars an hour for consultation - basically sitting on his ass and giving an opinion...
... when a working class family has to work 2-3 jobs, work 16 hour days just to get enough to keep a house over their head and food in their children's mouth.

He deserves it because he got educated? How is it fair that his parents were rich enough for him to get that education when others have to drop out of school to work simply to live?

The answer should be simple... Money makes money. If you leave that unchecked the inequality will increase. Because money like it or not is a limited commodity. For someone to be richer someone else has to be come poorer. Is that simple.

He probably paid for those 13 years of Uni with loans and grants subsidized by tax money.

Should have told the stuck up little priss that Daddy could be a doctor in Europe that makes 80,000$ a year, and really does pay nearly 60% in taxes. It's disgusting that someone so young can already be so greedy.

$10 says she votes for him in 2008.

Damn, I would have guessed that paying 60% taxes would make for great bragging rights! I would love to brag about it to all my friends as I signed ownership to my new yacht.

I think she's just pissed because her daddy got her a blue sports car for her 16th birthday, instead of a red one.

You're on! And since there is a possibility of her not voting at all, I suppose that you'll have to receive $15.00 if you come out on top in this.
Now we just have to figure out how to get past the privacy of the electoral system to learn who winds up winning and we're in business.

Using those figures, a single person with no dependents that makes $750,000/yr (read: 3/4 of a million) only pays 32.2% of their income in federal taxes.
Nowhere NEAR 60.

"rich people pay 60% ... that's their money not the government's"

oh right. the government isn't "us"?
