i saw a figure yesterday of 250 million.
and he tinkered with his deductions so as to make sure he stayed at 13%, when in fact his percentage should have been lower. odd...he's right around the same total tax as someone making about 25k a year. amazing.
and yes, i know that investments are taxed at 15%, in order to 'encourage investment'. (which means he's part of the 47%, who get breaks from the fed
)
but, i think they need to re-write the rates. give them 15% on money invested
here, in things that help create jobs
here. as soon as it goes to a foreign investment, the rate should be higher.
and i agree, donations are a good thing.
