The tax rates for the rest vary between the two.
Anything else you have to say on the subject is bullshit.

Dude, you're a dumbass. That "47% pay no taxes" shit proves it. The "47%" actually pay way more in taxes as a percentage of their income than the top 1%. Payroll tax, sales tax, gas tax, meals tax, registration fees, etc are paid by all - and the "47%" don't get any break - the amount is fixed - a regressive tax.

And we all know the richest pay 15% because their money comes in the form of capital gains. And that's fair? A billionaire pays 15% on money he didn't labor for while a cab driver pays 25% or more on money he did? Fair?
And then there's the loopholes and offshore accounts that a cab driver and a kindergarten teacher can't conceive of.
And corporate lobbyists have managed to get some corporations off the hook completely.
