It was lowered down to 46% and now days the super wealth pay less than 20%. I'm all for paying as little taxes as possible, however the right just wants to cut taxes but never wants to cut spending. If the right wants low taxes, then they need top cut the spending and not just try to making it a partisan issue by only trying to cut spending on so called entitlements while trying to add to the military budget and shovel truck loads of money to big business.
That's why Bush Jr destroyed the budget by giving away the surplus before the budget was completely balanced then put two wars on Chinese credit cards. Obama of course hasn't been a saint, but he was also let holding the back of a ruined economy with bail outs already signed by Bush and 2 wars that were already being added to the credit debt.
Republicans talk the talk when it comes to spending and budgets but they never walk the walk.

It is when Democrates are in office that the government expands and that government spending growes out of control. Granted George W Bush Sr. should have started and fininshed the War with Al Quada but Jr. was trying to fight two fronts. It could have been finished as we helped the people and get out. Iran and Iraq/Afganistan and the middle east will always be at a religious war. We the people have thought about impeaching Clinton for Saving & Loan Debackel, But we won't for Obama lying about Fast N Furious, Bengazi, Lying to the American people by promising they could keep their healthcare coverage if they wanted to, when in reality tens of millions will be forced out of their current plans, Attempted bribery of Rep. Joe Sestak with job offers to get him to drop out of the Senate primary race against Sen. Arlen Specter. Intentionally not securing or nation's boarders, Giving apartite to illigeals where they have gotten free healthcare, schooling, collegiate educations over americans, Spending $23 million of taxpayer money through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to support a constitutional referendum in Kenya in spite of the Siljander Amendment, which makes it illegal for the U.S. to lobby for abortion in other countries. The list goes on and on about issues the American Public has over looked with Obama. I have not even started to illustrate what the RIGHT HAS DONE RIGHT. BUT I WILL. BOTH SIDES HAVE FAILED WE THE PEOPLE. I don't recall the House of Represenatives memeber, but I will find out if you insist, that stated that memebers of the house and sentate should go on the record for the Supreme Court what they know to have gone on during their term and these statments will be provided to the American People, thus WE THE PEOPLE can vote in new members of the House, Senate and VP & President. I dont know all the facts but neither do you.
