Aww, the poor bankers that caused most of this mess got called out...

Is it EVER your own fault in your world? Or is there ALWAYS someone ELSE to blame your failings on?

He ate the last of the Doritos and grabbed the last beer once and took the heat.

Warren Buffett's Secretary Likely Makes Between $200,000 And $500,000/Year

Warren Buffett’s secretary, Debbie Bosanek, served as a stage prop for President Obama’s State of the Union speech. She was the president’s chief display of the alleged unfairness of our tax system – a little person paying a higher tax rate than her billionaire boss.

Bosanek’s prominent role in Obama’s “fairness” campaign piqued my curiosity, and I imagine the curiosity of others. How much does her boss pay this downtrodden woman? So far, no one has volunteered this information.

We can get an approximate answer by consulting IRS data on tax rates by adjusted gross income, which would approximate her salary, assuming she does not have significant dividend, interest or capital-gains income (like her boss). I assume Buffett keeps her too busy for her to hold a second job. I also do not know if she is married and filing jointly. If so, it is deceptive for Obama to use her as an example. The higher rate may be due to her husband’s income. So I assume the tax rate Obama refers to is from her own earnings................"

So Obama uses someone in the top 1% as a stage prop claiming her taxes are too high. The irony.
