I'm betting GREEMAN takes all the deductables he can.
Like everything else they do, this statement is a bald faced lie.
Until anyone pays their taxes in that mythical currency called percent, he will ALWAYS pay far more than his Secretary.
But idiots on the left will suck up the bilge water and regurgitate it on command.
Nobody want's to pay more in taxes than the law requires. Well, there is a little-used line on the form for those who wish to do so....
Lone Wolf, I think that you're thinking of Warren Buffett (the sage of Omaha.) Because the bulk of Buffett's income is derived from capital gains that are taxed at a low 20% rate while his secretary's earning are wages, wages are taxed at a higher rate than his.
That is not to say that there are not good reasons to tax capital gains at a lower rate than the highest bracket. We want business owners to invest in their own companies, making them more valuable and productive rather than squandering corporate wealth on salaries.
