   Nice try goober, feed the shit to the shitheads, this bullshit is totally   
   irrelevant,   
      
   the rich paid a smaller percentage because the top rate was cut from 70% to   
   39%,   
      
   they paid a higher share because they made most of the money   
      
   they paid a larger amount because they had higher incomes,   
      
   when you cut tax rates in half you produce an incentive for the rich to rob   
   and plunder more

   I remember the 80's gomer,   
      
      
      
    taxes were high for us peasants because the tax rates weren't cut 55%   
   for us like they were for the wealthy and even if they had been, the amount   
   would have been insignificant for the average wage earner, but the increase   
   in income for the wealthy   
   was enormous at the expense of everyone else   
      
   because the tax rates had been cut so dramatically the wealthy with an   
   incentive to steal   
   went and stole as much as they could and continue to do so,   
      
   they threw labor and poor people under the bus and now they want to get   
   everyone else   
      
   they want everyone to be poor except them and they see nothing wrong with   
   that,   
      
   and neither do you,   
      
   so obviously you're one ignorant, stupid, inbred, retarded, deranged   
   somabitch there goober,   
      
   you want your children and grandchildren to live in poverty as slaves to   
   your wealthy masters   
      
   why do you hate them ?   
      
   why do you hate Americans ?   
      
   why do you love the greedy,selfish cocksuckers who wouldn't piss on you if   
   you were on fire ?   
      
   the answer is simple, and so is your mind, you can't comprehend simple   
   economics, and that inner   
   hillbilly tells you that black people are getting free $$$   
      
      
   LMAO,   
      
   wait till they take more $$ from your grandmother, she'll have nobody to   
   blame but idiots like you   
      
   you goobers always leave out the pertinent facts when you lie,
