Obamas Paid 20.5% in Income Taxes, 2011 Returns Show

[Geaux4it]

Why doesn't he set an example and pay the 30% he's advocating all the other wealthy people pay under the Buffet Rule?

WASHINGTON — President Obama and his wife, Michelle, reported adjusted gross income of $789,674 in 2011 and paid just over 20 percent of it to the federal government in taxes.

Their income declined nearly $1 million from the previous year, when the president was reaping larger amounts from sales of his bestselling books. The numbers were disclosed in the Obamas’ federal income tax return and gift-tax return, released Friday by the White House, along with those of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama paid $162,074 in income taxes, an effective tax rate of 20.5 percent. In a statement, the White House suggested that Mr. Obama believed that he should pay a higher rate, noting that his administration wants to reform the tax code and ask “the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share while protecting families making under $250,000.”

Then pay it!! What's stopping you Mr. President?? Why don't you walk your talk?

People really fall for this shit?

He's not president, he follows the law. It's not his fault any more.

Yeah, Obama did not donate his paycheck like Trump.

-Geaux

Trump donated his paycheck?

You haven't heard about that?

[sealybobo]

I do. And isn’t it interesting tax is crying that obama ONLY paid 20% but I wonder if he minds trump paying zero

Trump provides the biggest tax cut ever to all Americans, and you are bitching that he is a hypocrite for paying (assumably) low taxes?

ROFL! You just can't make the stupidity of these guys up. It's unreal...

You’re pretty cheap if you can be bought for $2k a year. Is your soul worth it?

I get it. To most of you $3000 a year is a lot of money

^^^^^ Typical ^^^^^

Next you'll be railing about Income equality and I will be there to bust you

-Geaux

I do talk about the widening gap. What’s your right wing spin on it?

Like Pelosi, you are mocking 2K as if its crumbs. Ask those who you feel are victims of income equality if the 2K is not coveted.

-Geaux

You’re bought cheap. Yea, I’d give mine up to have a democratic government.

The Supreme Court, environment, my social security and Medicare alone are not worth $2000.

Oh, and my accountant said people with kids didn’t get as much as I did. I’m single no kids. So a lot of people who need the break more didn’t get as much as people like me who doesn’t need it. If they don’t feel better off, if cost of living goes up, your little tax break isn’t enough especially when our break goes away in a couple years

-Geaux

No.

I heard he claimed it, and then he rushed to give like a 25 cent donation to someone.

But PAYCHECK, no, he doesn't even tell people what his paycheck is, so you'd never know if he donated a paycheck at all.

 

[rightwinger]

Humm, that is especially hypocritical because Obama raised the top marginal personal income tax rate from 35% to 39.6% in 2013. Although his salary as president was probably liable for a tax rate of 20.5%, the perks of his office--free travel, free meals, free security, excessive paid time off, etc.--were worth much more. To set a good example, he should have paid taxes on them. After all, he also imposed a salary cap of $600K on top executives whose banks received federal bailouts. He's raking in way more than $600K from speaking fees and book deals alone.

Obama never requested a federal bailout

Kind of funny Obama was elected twice with a platform built around railing against the 1% ers

He is the kettle calling the pot black

And his tribe ate it up, hook, line and sinker

Donated his $400,000 paycheck and then gave himself a tax cut that saves himself and family a billion dollars in taxes

Yes. He has donated his salary to various government agencies. He's a wonderful, charitable man who is clearly giving up personal financial gain in order to be our president.

If obama can set tax rates for all rich people he will gladly pay his fair share. Trump pays nothing and you don’t even care to see if that’s true.

You love him so who cares what you think

If you care about this so much, seems like Trump has all your idols beat.

Look, if I got given $100,000 I'd be happy, because it means I could buy stuff I don't have, get a better place to live, whatever.

Give him an extra $50 million and it wouldn't change a thing about his life.

New York gave him $880 million.....

You're talking about "people" who believe an animated piece of shit who never had a productive job was a competent executive of the United States and that 8 years of it's regime was an era marked by something other than stagnation, and malaise.

You're talking about people who believe global warming is caused by Americans driving SUV's, that criminals who ignore murder laws will obey gun laws, they believe the earth is flat according to new research, they believe if we are nicer to jihadist zealots they won't try to kill people anymore, and they believe you can steal shit from rich people and make "poor" people richer and productive with a fraction of the loot.

They're programmed to believe they're "educated" because they can parrot such drivel. You're surprised by that now?

Can you imagine if obama didn’t show you his taxes?

I think trump not releasing his taxes after the election is a deal breaker too. He lied. That wasn’t a promise he just couldn’t deliver like repealing the aca or building a wall. He chooses to not show his taxes because they show his Russian connections.

Says something about people who don’t care that he lied

His taxes were revealed, but it didn't fit your narrative, so you ignore it.
