I can’t stand Romney. I am not voting for Romney. But for the love of God, he pays capital gains taxes. The principle has already been taxed at the highest tax bracket. Whatever tax he is paying is a double taxation.
And Romney, he lay low.
so voting for Obama or maybe Roseanne Barr
The way for any Republican to reply is to question all the taxpayer money that the Royal Obama family spends on expensive vacations and Golf outings. The average voter understands that.
Team Obama loves "principled" posts like that here at FR. Enjoy paying your "fair share" when Barry gets another four years.
You are correct. The 13.9% “taxes” Romney paid IS NOT his entire tax contribution-—it just looks good for “headlines!” Romney paid A LOT higher rate on his taxes, each year. (The news media ALWAYS “forgets” to count the tax rate the rich pay on capital gains!!! Which is what, another 30-35%? Then ADD THAT to the 13.9% and you have a tax rate not too far off from 50%.
