With All Due Respect, Go Fly a Kite

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Here we go again. President Obama has an op-ed out in USA Today about the debt ceiling debate and as sure as the sun rises in the east he's pulling out that old liberal Democratic chestnut, calling for the wealthiest Americans to cough up their "fair share" of taxes.
We've been through this before, but it means nothing to the president, or any other liberal Democrat for that matter. So let's go real slow. The top one percent of wage earners in this country pay about 38 percent of all federal income tax. The top 5 percent pay about 60 percent. The top 10 percent pay about 70 percent. And the top 25 percent pay 86.34 percent — all according to a non-partisan group called National Taxpayers Union.
