Tonight on MSNBC, Mr. Ghetto Reverend tax cheat had the nerve to get into his guest face about the fairness of rich people paying a mythical lower tax rate than secretaries.

Al Sharpton asked
“Is it fair that billionaires pay a lower tax rate than their secretaries?”
His guest says not true according to the IRS.
Then Sharpton says
“If the report is inaccurate, fine you stipulate that. But, is it fair?”
So Sharpton expects his guest to answer a question that’s based on a very false premise, but asks if it’s fair nonetheless. This is what passes for journalism on MSNBC.
The Huffington Post reports Al Sharpton got into a heated clash with Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas during his MSNBC show Wednesday night.
Sharpton asked Huelskamp to discuss what Sharpton referred to as the the issue of tax rate fairness. He asked, "Is it fair that billionaires pay a lower tax rate than their own secretaries?" Huelskamp did not answer the question because according to him, Sharpton's information was incorrect.
"Well they actually don't, according to the IRS," Huelskamp said.
Sharpton started to raise his voice and asked the question again. "Is it fair? Is it fair?" Huelskamp continued to deny the accuracy of Sharpton's question. "It's not true, Al."
Sharpton then said "on the basis of the report—if the report is inaccurate, fine, you stipulate that—I'm asking you, is it fair? Is the arrangement fair, in your opinion?"
