FACT CHECK: Are rich taxed less than secretaries?
"Middle-class families shouldn't pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires," Obama said Monday. "That's pretty straightforward. It's hard to argue against that."
The data tell a different story. On average, the wealthiest people in America pay a lot more taxes than the middle class or the poor, according to private and government data. They pay at a higher rate, and as a group, they contribute a much larger share of the overall taxes collected by the federal government.

What's shocking is that the AP published the story at all, which clearly proves Obama wrong. And given that Obama has access to better information than the AP, and at a whim, means that not only is Obama WRONG, but that he is intentionally LYING every time he brings up Warren Buffet's secretary in a pitch to raise taxes.
FU, Obama! Quit lying.
I can't wait for this immoral lying SOB to be shown the door in 2012.
