    You are joking right? The top 400 earners in the US paid less than 20% of their income in taxes as their taxes, by percentage, was below that of the average US family. Our tax system is set up to protect the wealthy and despite having so much they still cheat the system. These people have no character whatsoever.

    Greed are those with multiple homes and private jets that earn a wage off the efforts of others and still fail to pay their share in taxes. Greed is the corporate CEO making 433 times that of the average wage earner and still not paying their taxes.

  3. Check this out. Found it on another board:


    The 250 clients include what one person briefed on the matter said were “boldfaced names” in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and other major cities, some who had made their fortunes and some who had inherited it. The indictments would come within several weeks, the people said.

    Maybe it's Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohen, and we can get some great girl on girl stuff from Leavenworth.

    Man, I've been waitin' a long time for this. This is what happens if you squeal second. No deal . One billionaire came forward, cut his deal. Every one else gets indicted. Cool.
