First Lady Michelle Obama says everyone needs to pay their “fair share.”

Obama stumped in Omaha on behalf of her husband’s re-election bid Tuesday and, with Warren Buffett in the audience, touted President Obama’s tax proposal named after the Oracle of Omaha.

The so-called Buffett Rule would set a minimum tax rate for people making more than $1 million. Republicans have argued the idea amounts to class warfare and is an attempt by Democrats to pit Americans against Americans.

Obama maintained the idea is to close tax-law loopholes that allow “millionaires and billionaires” to pay effective tax rates lower than “firefighters and teachers.”
“We’re all in this together. And this country is stronger when we’re all better off,” she said.

1. We might as well call every g*ddamned thing they do class warfare as well.

Because they ALWAYS accuse us of what they're doing.
