Well, thank heavens we got that straightened out. A bogus item, which mysteriously disappeared, is clarified by NEA in its latest Education Insider:

Clarification:  In our last Education Insider, our story on the Buffet Rule should have stated that billionaires whose income comes primarily from investments rather than salary are taxed at a lower rate than middle class working families, not that they pay less in actual tax dollars.  Nearly one-quarter of all millionaires (about 55,000 taxpayers) pay a lower tax rate than millions of middle income taxpayers.  Warren Buffett has famously said that he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary.

Consistent spelling is still elusive, but we’ll give NEA props for fixing its mistake and chalk this one up as a victory.
