Obama Ramps Up Anti-Gazillionaire Tax Efforts as Noted Gazillionaire Mitt Romney Closes in on GOP Nomination
President Obama hits Boca Raton, Florida today to promote the so-called “Buffett-rule” legislation, a sweeping measure that would criminalize making return trips to the all-you-can-eat line with a dirty plate.
A lesser-known provision of the law would also ensure that people earning over $1 million annually would pay at least 30 percent of their income in taxes, a rule made famous by wealthy investor Warren Buffett. Buffett, one of the richest individuals in the world, has publicly noted that he pays a smaller percentage of his income in taxes than his secretary and has advocated for a minimum tax rate for millionaires.
Speaking of millionaires… did we mention that Obama’s likely Republican opponent in the 2012 presidential election happens to be one? And that Florida is a key swing state? And that middle-class voters who are deciding between these two candidates happen to be struggling economically right now? Probably just coincidence.

The next time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my option to read, but I actually thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you possibly can fix in case you werent too busy looking for attention.
