Obama Says Everyone Should Pay Fair Share, But Does He?
With taxes being released, President Obama will have some explaining to do as his taxes show he has a tax rate of 20 percent. While that wouldn't normally seem like a big deal, it is actually lower than his secretary is paying right now.
President Obama earned around $790,000 while his secretary made somewhere around $95,000. The White House says that this shows why the tax system needs to be reformed, but the President would not apply to his so called Buffett Rule.
What do you think about this and does it make a difference in the race for President?
