The common person who tries to save a little bit here and there does so to take care of his family; and in the end, he spends all his income and is left with nothing.
The billionaire who pays no taxes is a parasite.

Horseshit.
1. Billionaires “paying no taxes” first of all is horseshit. Show me one billionaire that paid no taxes.
2. “Fair share” is subjective.
3. Amount of dodging/cheating is irrelevant. Intent and legality however is relevant.
(a) Shutting off a cash register so not to register sales and registers sales tax is cheating. And folks that willing pay cash to a merchant knowing that the merchant’s intent is to do participating in the cheat and as guilty in supporting tax cheats.
Doesn’t matter what “benefit” it may have for an individual… You’re breaking the law somewhat here.
(b) Attempting to lower one’s assessed values to tricks and games as to what Romney has done is purely legal and no different than anyone else trying to lower his/her tax burden. People who rail against Romney doing this better not have submitted his/her or her own reassessment request and/or tried to lower the assessed value by playing games at closing with the closing cost…Otherwise that’s a huge double standard there and an immediate loss of credibility imho.
The only people that will get hit the hardest are the people on W2’s in upper middle class which will be dragged down. They are the ones that always always pay the largest tax burdens whenever politicians talk about taxing the rich..And it won’t even fix the problems.
