Obama loves to talk about the rich paying a little more in taxes as a means of “shared sacrifice” to solve the national debt.
It sounds good to the people at large who aren’t paying attention because they’re too busy watching MSNBC or Jon Stewart. However, the truth is the top 25% wage earners pay 78% of the taxes bill.
So it’s a flat out lie when Obama and the Democrats talk about shared sacrifice when the overwhelming bulk of the tax bill is being paid by the rich.
If President Obama really wanted to share the burden, he would ask the 47% of Americans who pay no income tax at all to start forking over some cash for the benefit of the country.
How about that, Mr. President?
Obama is asking the wrong people to share the sacrifice

こういう単純な論理は正しい必要はない。
本人がそれを信じているかどうかもあまり重要ではない。
これを読んで賛同する共和党支持者は、読む前から賛同しているし、これを読んでなにを根拠にこんなデマを撒き散らすのだと怒る民主党支持者は、最初から反対だ。
要はこんな文章にはインパクトはない。いくら話してもお互いの意見は変わらないのだから。
