If you do, then you should probably be hating Barack Obama, don’t you think? He made 1.7 million dollars last year, so come on lefty, where’s the hate? Or, is that reserved for rich Republicans only? The reason I ask is you people have so many exceptions to your own funny little rules it’s hard to keep up with them all.
President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, reported income of $1.728 million for last year, much of it from the sale of the president’s pre-presidency books. They paid federal taxes totaling $453,770 after receiving a $12,334 refund.
That means roughly, the Obama’s paid around 25% in taxes. Well that’s not very fair, is it? They need to step up and pay their “fair share” don’t you think? That 25% he paid is equal to about 8 times the average persons wages. That’s disgusting! He doesn’t need all that, it should go back to the collective, right Lefty? And to add insult to injury:
The Obamas paid their taxes at lowered Bush-era rates, even as he campaigns to end them for households with adjusted gross incomes above $250,000 — a category into which the first family clearly fits.
So much for leading by example, huh?
