GOP senator backs tax rate hike on wealthy CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
Cause he wants to keep his job...
Uh...no. He's already announced that he won't be seeking re-election.
Now that he no longer has to face the voters, he can be more "flexible."
No they don't.
Yes they do but you are welcome to prove otherwise.
No problem, they're called deductions, stupid. Everyone has a different number of deductions based on how many are in their family, for example. There are child tax credits, mortgage credits, first time home buyer credits, itemized deductions, thousands and thousand of pages in the tax code to manipulate the rate you pay and even the amount of withholding that comes out of your paycheck right from the beginning regardless of the stated rate. In fact, unless you're filing a 1040EZ in which there are no deductions, it's very rare to pay the exact same rate as someone else making the same income
I deleted the rest of your post because it was hysterical nonsense.
You deleted it because it's true and you don't want to come to grips with the fact that deep down inside you're a jealous, ugly individual because it would shatter your flawed world view and begin eating at your conscience, I imagine, assuming you even have one.
deductions have the ability to change your tax rate. if your deductions move you from a higher tax bracket to a lower one, your rate changes.Deductions don't change the tax rate.Yes they do but you are welcome to prove otherwise.

But if you are saying deductions are unfair, yes they are.
What do you imagine I am jealous of?
You really think Tom Coburn needs to worry about keeping his job in bright red Oklahoma, especially since he has no plans of running again?

It's called critical thinking, Jim. I realize you have trouble with just basic thought processes because you are not well educated, but practice makes perfect, so who knows. There may still be hope for you.
Let it go man! You win some and you lose some...or in the case of the GOP. You will lose LOTS in the future. Dogma is a dying virtue for the old white man's party.
Let what go? I'm not GOP and you're just throwing out a red herring because I exposed your ignorance. I can't help it if I'm more intelligent and diverse in thought and objectivity than you are. That's a problem you need to fix with yourself, though I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.
If you actually posted rational and thoughtful posts, people may begin to respect you....but maybe not.
