I am not convinced that they are paying more. So far from the ones I have heard who have stated their tax rate (Romney and Buffet) I have paid more then both of them. They may be be paying more in raw amounts but I am paying more as a percentage. I do not like my taxes going towards helping companies make more money in the form of subsidies, tax breaks and the like. I do not like the idea that GE pays no taxes and I pay .. well you get the point.
