Obama Paid Lower Tax Rate Than Secretary

Postby Flesh Thorn » April 13th, 2012, 5:59 pm

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama had a combined income of $789,674 in 2011 but paid a lower tax rate than the president's secretary, who made less than $100,000, the White House confirmed Friday.
The Obamas paid an effective rate of 20.5 percent. White House aides would not reveal presidential secretary Anita Breckenridge’s tax rate but confirmed it was higher than the first family's rate. Breckenridge earned $95,000 last year.

Are you saying that there is hypocrisy in Washington? :shock:

He will come back saying that fact is exactly his point, If they pass that tax bullshit then he will pay higher taxes like all rich people need to do (according to him)
