The ridiculous attacks on Zbigniew Brzezinski are laughable and ludicrous. The smears come from the far right and other assorted crazies. Zbigniew Brzezinski is a brilliant man and an asset to any administration.

Paying their fair share? I pay more in taxes than you probably make. If you think anybody in this country is going to get a tax break. Think again. In 1 year people are gonna come to the realization that they have been lied to by Obama. He will not dd any of things he promised except make government bigger and unemployment will reach the double digits in % and this will put us into a depression. I don't care how much money he is giving away for his entitlement programs.

The only reason Obame got elected is because of the liberal media making him out to be the second coming of christ. he is not and will not change anything in this country.

Btw that was actually 1913 that the federal government re-instituted the income tax, right after ratification of the 16th Amendment. Perhaps you should research it and see the difference in rates and the income levels (adjusted for inflation) that it was originally set to. I think you'd see it was a vastly different system than what is imposed today. An income of 500,000 (in 1913 dollars) paid a 6% rate. Most people paid nothing, yet today you talk about people whining that almost 40% of their income is going to go to one tax
