Answer:
Q: Why does President Obama continue to perpetuate the myth that the rich pay less in taxes?

A: To mislead and confuse the general electorate. Twenty percent of of $1M is a larger number than 30% of $250k. On a flat tax rate, where everyone pays 9%, the same rules would apply. So, the "rich" do pay considerably more in taxes than the middle and low income wage earners.
