Democrats on Tax Reform
Warren Buffett, a billionaire, pays a
lower tax rate than his secretary, Debbie
Bosanek.
He pays 17.4%, she pays 35.8%. Think that's unfair? So do Bosanek and Buffett.
President Obama is asking Congress to pass the "Buffett Rule" to fix the tax code and make sure billionaires pay at least the same share of their income in taxes as middle-class families.
As always, all Republicans are fighting to cut taxes on the rich. Let's stand with President Obama to pass the Buffett Rule so the rich pay their fair share of taxes.
