Well what facts do you have that supports that the rich gets ultra savings? Anything I have ever seen is that they are a small % of the tax payers but pay a much greater % of all the taxes collected. Like the top 1% pays 40% of all the taxes collected. That does not sound like ultra savings to me. I don't whine about it and your right I'm not in their bracket but I do think they pay more than their share as it is and that article even pointed out that raising their taxes will not increase tax revenue as Obama thinks it will.
