It is true.

Under Paul Ryan’s plan taxes on capital gains, interest and dividends would be eliminated.

Nearly all of the taxes Romney pays are capital gains and dividends.

This man’s politicking as if we were in the middle of a booming economy, peace in the world and heaven on earth and no reason for the American people to want to change the path of such prosperity.

True or not. The fact is Obama is out of touch. The American people are more concerned about how Obama’s spending their money than they are about how Romney spent his.

I agree 100%.

The left is trying distract people from the stagnant economy, high unemployment rate and out of control spending under Hussein 0bama.

According to one published report (unfortunately don’t have the reference), actually only 0.82% for speaking fees, etc. The Ryan plan has NO tax on interest, dividends or capital gains which is the source of most of Romney’s income

Um, unless the Dems. have already seen Romney’s tax returns, and they have, how would they know?

They make it sound like only Romney and 100 other rich people have capital gains, interest and dividends. I'm sorta "p" poor and have capital gains, interest and dividends....just a little bit...

How did the government get to tax these things in the first place??

Heard Rush mention a cool way to use Ryan - have him show up the very next day wherever Zero goes and refute him. Obama gives a speech in Miami - Ryan stops there the next day - Obama stops in Denver - next day - Ryan’s in Denver - etc....

He's not just out of touch, the man is genuinely stupid.

Every time he has opened his mouth lately, he confirms his stupidity.

‘We’ consented and ‘gave’ Gov’t said ability in the Constitution. Since then, Gov’t has favored different classes and groups of taxation.

Who cares about Romney’s tax rate?! I want to have MY tax rate cut. I don’t want to be nickle and dimed to death because of the EPA and regulations.

Really, I don’t care if Romney has to pay any taxes.

Isn’t tax avoidance (an entirely different thing from tax evasion) the way of encouraging capital growth?

The fiction that “capital gains”, largely a result of inflation, is somehow illicit, has become ingrained in the dialogue that is now dominating the national politics. To purchase some right or title to property, and to resell it some period of time later, is only a store of value. If it were purchased for “X” number of dollars, and the sale price later on were, say, 120% of “X”, but in the meantime the value of each dollar declined to only 75% of its previous purchasing power (effectively requiring 133% of the number of dollars to maintain the same value), is that not in fact a LOSS of capital?

Or is simple math no longer taught? Or maybe, math was not nearly that simple to begin with.
