Obama Taxes & Income: President & First Lady Paid $453,770 In Taxes On $1.7 Million Income

... The president and first lady reported donating $245,075 -- about 14.2 percent of their adjusted gross income -- to 36 different charities. ...

$453,770 tax on $1.7 million income ~= 27% effective tax rate

I sure wish rich people would pay their fair-share.

Michelle must make a lot, as Barry's job doesn't pay anything close to that.

I wanna see receipts! And not that damn generic blank receipt that Goodwill gives you to fill in your own amount. :veryangry:

Wrong.

As reported the in article I linked to, most of the Obamas' income is from Barack Obama's book sales.

As you no doubt has seen the chart posted by Big Al in the other thread:

The Obamas are paying a higher effective tax rate compared to others at upper income brackets.

Glad to see that you have come around to think that rich people should pay their fair-share, which I read as "paying substantially more than they are paying now." Please clarify if this reading is incorrect.

As for your statement on Michelle's income, the article states that most of the Obama's income is from the sales of Barack Obama's books.

Then you don't want to read this article about recent vice-presidents giving over the last decade.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-12-biden-financial_N.htm

Giving rates as low as 0.1% - ($120 in 1999 by one VP), I don't want to even mention the name

Ax: Of course I haven't changed my position to think that the rich need to pay "substantially more" than they are.
The chart you display isn't a very good comparison since it includes a large group of net-tax receivers, who aren't paying a dime "net," even though they have monies being witheld each pay check.

C'mon, show some integrity. You can dislike the man, but don't go making sh!t up. Much like Jon Kyl dislike/hate Planned Parenthood, that didn't make it right for him to make sh!t up (and then make an asinine statement about his making sh!t up on the Senate floor is not intended as a factual statement).

There are legitimate criticism about the Obamas and/or Planned Parenthood that can be made based on honest facts. Stick to those. You should not aspire to be any less.
