According to the White House, "Together, [the Bidens] reported adjusted gross income of $379,035. The Bidens paid $87,900 in total federal tax for 2011. They paid $13,843 in Delaware income tax and $3,614 in Virginia income tax. The Bidens contributed $5,540 to charity in 2011."
In other words, the Bidens donated less than 1.5 percent of their adjusted gross income to charity.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Owes Taxes Going Back To 2002
A little over two weeks ago, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, the third-richest person in the world, penned an op-ed critical of the low tax rates for the superrich. It would seem his own company hasn't prioritized paying its rightful share in a timely fashion either.
Berkshire Hathaway, the eighth-largest public company in the world according to Forbes, openly admits to still owing taxes for years 2002 through 2004 and 2005 through 2009, according to the New York Post. The company says it expects to "resolve all adjustments proposed by the US Internal Revenue Service" within the next year.

ALL BUT 2 TIMES ROMNEY AHEAD...GALLUP GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?????
NEXT STOP THE WHITE HOUSE, START PACKING
and look at this interesting fact about Biden ...
reminds me much of Barney Franks adventurous "friends " ...
http://www.newsmax.com/US/Bid...
interestingly though, at least the bidens paid 23% federal income tax.
romney admittedly only paid 15 % from over 20 million.
i mean, the working poor barely have money left over to invest. don't the gop want to reduce capital gains taxes and inheritance tax to 0%?
REMEMBER ALL OF THOSE UNIVERSITIES, HOSPITALS, ART MUSEUMS, CHARITIES ALL COME FROM RICH ROMNEY LIKE PEOPLE, NOT LABOR UNIONS AND "COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS"
It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now … Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.”
– John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, president’s news conference
“The present tax codes … inhibit the mobility and formation of capital, add complexities and inequities which undermine the morale of the taxpayer, and make tax avoidance rather than market factors a prime consideration in too many economic decisions.”
– John F. Kennedy, Jan. 23, 1963, special message to Congress on tax reduction and reform
“In short, it is a paradoxical truth that … the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now. The experience of a number of European countries and Japan have borne this out. This country’s own experience with tax reduction in 1954 has borne this out. And the reason is that only full employment can balance the budget, and tax reduction can pave the way to that employment. The purpose of cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.”
– John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, news conference
“The largest single barrier to full employment of our manpower and resources and to a higher rate of economic growth is the unrealistically heavy drag of federal income taxes on private purchasing power, initiative and incentive.”

“Expansion and modernization of the nation’s productive plant is essential to accelerate economic growth and to improve the international competitive position of American industry … An early stimulus to business investment will promote recovery and increase employment.”
– John F. Kennedy, Feb. 2, 1961, message on economic recovery
“We must start now to provide additional stimulus to the modernization of American industrial plants … I shall propose to the Congress a new tax incentive for businesses to expand their normal investment in plant and equipment.”
– John F. Kennedy, Feb. 13, 1961, National Industrial Conference Board
“A bill will be presented to the Congress for action next year. It will include an across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in both corporate and personal income taxes. It will include long-needed tax reform that logic and equity demand … The billions of dollars this bill will place in the hands of the consumer and our businessmen will have both immediate and permanent benefits to our economy. Every dollar released from taxation that is spent or invested will help create a new job and a new salary. And these new jobs and new salaries can create other jobs and other salaries and more customers and more growth for an expanding American economy.”
– John F. Kennedy, Aug. 13, 1962, radio and television report on the state of the national economy
“This administration pledged itself last summer to an across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes … Next year’s tax bill should reduce personal as well as corporate income taxes, for those in the lower brackets, who are certain to spend their additional take-home pay, and for those in the middle and upper brackets, who can thereby be encouraged to undertake additional efforts and enabled to invest more capital … I am confident that the enactment of the right bill next year will in due course increase our gross national product by several times the amount of taxes actually cut.”
– John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, news conference
DO YOU REALLY THINK RICH PEOPLE WILL JUST SET AND TAKE IT?, DO NOTHING?, OR GO TO FRIENDLIER ENVIRONMENTS.

90%.
