i hardly see how buying 40+% of the populations' vote by allowing them to pay no income taxes creates equality. In my world what is 'fair' is that if you want a vote on how my income is taxed, then you should share the same burden. Since obama became president I've come to loathe the word fair because everytime a 'progressive' starts talking about fairness and equality they are generally doing the opposite.

as for Bill and his undies, the Clinton's are rather fastidious in their tax reporting.
