2. I know, hence the joke...

I also happen to know there is an exemption for people who receive under a million dollars+:
2002
$1 million
55%

2003
$1 million
49%

2004
$1.5 million
48%

2005
$1.5 million
47%

2006
$2 million
46%

2007
$2 million
45%

2008
$2 million
45%

2009
$3.5 million
45%

2010
repealed
0%

2011
$1 million
55%

The only year that this is not true by the tax plan in 2010, but of course we have the Republicans to blame for that not the Democrats.
