It's even worse than that. They wanted the top rate dropped from 35% to 28%! :rofl:

It's who they are--the 'Party of the Rich.' Rollingstone's Tim Dickinson got it exactly right. And, the sooner the American people figure this out, the sooner we will be able to get this country back on track.

1. It ain't even the 1%, it is the 0.01% or even the 0.001%.
It is truly amazing how such a small group of people have managed to take control over the entire political system.

3. The top 1% has a greater net worth than the bottom 90%--34.6% to 27%.
