    No bonuses until you get back to the high water marks, clowns. You still have 50.6% to go, Lloyd.

    This lady is insane. I’m not sure what country she lives in, but in the US under Obama, the poor don’t get the brunt of any taxes. The poor do not pay ANY taxes under Obama, they receive tax credit/refunds.

    @21 – the bottom 50% of wage earners pay less than 3% of total federal taxes and an average tax rate of less than 3%
