Romney as the “evil rich white man” is appearing on some leftist/MSM magazine covers I’ve seen.
It looks like Barry is starting to go after the American voters. He sure as hell isn't talking to his base, The Entitled.
I just saw an Obozo ad where he said he wants to know why Romney hasn’t released his tax returns. Jesus, Mitt!! WAKE THE F$%K UP! Tell that clown: “I’ll be happy to release my tax returns when you remove the sequester on all of your past records. Until then, STFU.”
BTW, that 14% is still $2.8 million. I’d say he paying his fair share.-
REMEMBER KIDDIES!!
You are supposed to be more worried about what ROMNEY does with his own money, than by what OBAMA is doing with YOURS!!
The entire campaign against Romney seems to be, he’s rich, and he’s not Obama.
“Mitt Romney’s middle class tax increase”
THIS IS THE BIGGEST LIE OF 2012.
Tried to make this comment on youtube:
“Mitt Romney’s middle class tax increase” This is the biggest boldest fattest lie of 2012. The one who has raised taxes on the middle class is Barack Obama, with his massive $1 trillion tax increase in Obamacare.”
“Pending approval” lol. what are the odds that barackobama campaign will allow that ???
Top 50% paid 12.5%. Interesting. I wonder the exact percentage Romney would have paid if he had taken the full allowable deduction for his charitable giving, and if he overpaid by that amount so that this claim would be false—but Obama’s team still made it anyway.
Ok; really tired of the lobotomy crowd spouting this nonsense.
This is EXACTLY like saying someone who makes $100,000 pays only 1/2 as much for gallon of milk, than does someone who makes $50,000 per year. Their “rate” for purchasing milk is less.
