I just had to laugh at this quote
"The amount of taxes the rich pay are far greater in proportion to the amount of wealth they have."

1. Did you make that up yourself?
Without a link or source, this is useless.

It's still funny.
I can assume for a minute that someone was dumb enough to have that thought.

8. totally untrue.. maybe before loop holes and deductions, roll--overs etc.. they should pay what we

GOP is a Cargo Cult of OCD Wealth Hoarders, they believe that wealth is the Measure of God’s favor of a man, therefore it is a sin to tax a Rich Man/Corporation. the poor are being punished by God, therefore it is a sin to help them. and they use Mafia tactics to enforce their ideology to keep the money/power coming.

Psychotic Oligarchs think anything they do to horde more wealth is ordained by God, anyone they hurt deserves it..

the GOP is a Psychotic Cult.. their ideology Kills People, men women children in their quest to Horde more and more needless Wealth/Power... they are mentally ill
