Comments on: Obama jobs plan: math or class warfare? http://sutherlandinstitute.org/news/2011/09/21/obama-jobs-plan-math-or-class-warfare/ News and views on Utah public policy Thu, 16 May 2013 23:35:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Anonymous http://sutherlandinstitute.org/news/2011/09/21/obama-jobs-plan-math-or-class-warfare/#comment-1271 Anonymous Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:14:00 +0000 http://www.sutherlandinstitute.org/news/?p=1358#comment-1271 I keep going back to the day when, at a meeting in Salt Lake City where Karl Malone was in attendance, I heard him say, “I don’t gotta pay no taxes.  Well, hardly any.  I just got a good accountant.”

This from a man who made more money playing one ball game than I and my colleagues in teaching could earn in a year.

When taxes are considered on the basis of percentage of income, people like me wind up paying a far greater percentage than the Karl Malones around us.  That was what Obama was talking about.

You are distorting truth with this article.
