20% certainly does not seem like someone who wants to help make sure everyone is gonna get their fair share...

Sumpin' doesn't seem right about that.  How did he get away with only paying 20%?  I would find it very hard to believe that a significant portion of that would be long term capital gains.  In fact, he's prolly paying an even lower percentage that Buffet.

$789,674. 

That's  $780,620 more than he deserved.

I found it interesting that The Pharaoh and Nefertiti gave $172,130.00 to charity.  I think Biden gave something like $172.00 by comparison.

I'm guessing he got confused by the comma and the decimal.

I really should correct this statement by noting that Slow Joe had an AGI of $379,035.00, paid $87,900.00 in taxes, and donated $5,540.00 to charity.

The ATTACKWATCH.COM folk were not too happy about my mis-statement.

I just made a sizable contribution to the DNC so that should hold-off the Justice Dept. for a while.
