In short, you just posted yet another skewed article written for the large and rather ignorant conservative masses and one with some of that jarring conservative hype, but without much substance......off you go.....

Yep I think Ole Rob skewed his way to an "F" on his research paper and a "D" for his half hearted bias effort.
On must give weight and mention the tax loop holes the wealthy and corporations has access to just before they actually file their taxes which saves the wealthy at least $345 billion dollars annually from the treasury.
And we haven't even begun to talk about OFF SHORE TAX HAVENS which takes $100 billion from our treasury and Corporate Welfare Subsidies which annually cost tax payers and robs the treasury of 100's Billions dollars annually as well.
