I am glad Bobert watched the Kaine response. At least one person in the country watched it. Whose bright idea was it to have the response in the governors mansion? Probably the same guy who fed Kennedy questions in the Alito hearings. Conversation probably went "Teddy, you really got to hammer him on being a member of an all male club when he was in college 30 years ago" That worked out really well. Well, I only got to the first point in Boberts SOTUA when I found the first lie. Here are the correct numbers. Top % Earns % of Wealth Pays % of wealth 1% 20.8% 37.4% 5% 35.3% 56.5% 10% 46.0% 67.3% 25% 67.2% 84.0% 50% 87.0% 96.1% The top 10% of the weath earners in this country (like myself) earn 46% of the wealth but pay 67% of the taxes. Clearly we are overpaying. Half the people in the USA are paying nearly all the federal taxes while the bottom half (like Bobert) are paying almost nothing. Clearly the solution is to tax the poor. They are not paying their fair share. Why should I pay tax if half the country doesn't have to pay their share of the tax. TAX THE POOR NOW. (TTPN)
