You said: "Between income taxes and charitable contributions, he paid 43% of his income" which was an obvious attempt by you to slide past his tax rate into some other number. Just give me the rate on the income ~ and the money ~ and that's all it takes.

The original post was “Hey, Media, a $75K Mechanic Pays a Lower Tax Rate Than Romney” becasue that is what the media wa trying to misrepresent. The author then presented the imformation to validate the claim. You didn’t like that result, so you tried to change the premise to something else as if that is more meaningful. I called you on the bait and switch. If you are going to change the argument and paraamaters, then all of the meaningful paramenters are relavent.
