When Jeb drops down to 1%, he still won't get it. Talk about being born with a golden spoon and living in a bubble.

It is time to end this fantasy once and for all. Jeb is claiming that lowering tax rates would actually increase revenue. Jeb, we are on to your ruse, buddy. We have seen this bullshit played out before.

He also wants us to believe the WSJ's lies about Bernie's plan.

This is how Dubya did it and Saint Ronnie before him. Repeat the lie that, "Tax cuts for the rich will stimulate the economy."

ALL the money. C'mon, rich people and slaves--that's the proper distribution of wealth. And only rich people should get to vote, you know, with the number of their votes in direct proportion to their wealth.

(I think I just described the Republican ideal.)

The top 1% owns over 50% of the nations wealth so if they are only paying 40% of the taxes and own 50% of the wealth then they are not holding their own. In other words they are ripping off the Middle Class to the tune of 100's of billions of dollars.
