You pay the same rate of tax as me.
I understand exactly how it works. Clinton balanced the books, Bush gave massive tax breaks to the wealthy, and then borrowed a load of money from the Chinese to fund two wars, one wholly illegal and unjustified. Laissez faire regulations implemented by Reagan allowed the bankers to screw up the system and when the **** hit the fan you had to borrow even more money from the Chinese.
I wouldn't mind so much if you Republicans just fucked up America, but due to the global nature of economics you screwed it up for the rest of us as well.
