Ugh. I hate this misconception. The 48% refers to federal income tax, and ignores payroll taxes, which are 15% (half paid by employer) on even the poorest wage-earners. Contrast that with Mitt Romney, who paid 13-14% overall. Also, very few large companies pay the 45%; AAPL has tradionally paid in the low 20's, a number which doesn't count the tens of billions they have offshore and have paid no taxes on at all.What people don't realize is that tax on 'stodk market' gains is a double tax. The company has already paid upward of 45% on the earnings, and then the stockholder has to pay an additional 15% on top of that. Hiding this fact helps divide the mass mindset. What I don't understand that 48% of those complaining that the rich don't pay their fair share pay no taxes at all.

I'm sorry at having to laugh out loud here, but really, do you know much about Socialism.
Believe your me, speak to anyone whose ever been to Europe what a Socialist actually is . I love Obama to bits, but a Socialist he ain't....
Giving a damn about healthcare and wanting to be nice to the working classes might mean you're left of centre, but socialist is a good couple of bus stops down that avenue of left...
