And actually, us middle class people pay WAY MORE in taxes than Romney does. I don't care if its federal or state, we're getting hosed, not Romney.
No, you don't. You don't even make in one year what Romney pays in taxes, so just shut up already and stop making an ass out of yourself, unless, of course, you just can't help it.
When I go buy something with my meager earnings, I pay 6 cents on the dollar every time I buy something. Do you understand how much that adds up to at the end of the year? Lets say I have $20,000 disposable income every year to spend. 6 cents sales tax is a big deal to me. I don't care if its federal or state, us middle class people are getting hosed, not Romney. We pay over 30 and he pays 12%. Check the facts my friend. HE PAYS 12%. No pretending those facts didn't come out. No debating them. We don't count the money he's hiding in Switzerland and the Caymans.
Yeah, you keep claiming all these "facts" and yet you haven't provided a single shred of evidence to support them.
But what is 6 cents to Romney? Nothing! But that 6 cents could go a long way to a single catholic woman who sinned and got knocked up out of wedlock and because of her religion she had the child and only makes $20K a year because she can't afford college.
So in other words, the choices she made in life put her in her current predicament and somehow I and everyone else are supposed to pay her for fucking up? Also, I suggest you look up the term "false generalization."
No, you don't. You don't even make in one year what Romney pays in taxes, so just shut up already and stop making an ass out of yourself, unless, of course, you just can't help it.
I find this line of thinking simple and unrefined. Sure Romney pays a higher dollar amount but less as a percentage of income. The fact that you would argue that says clearly that you don't understand the point or are attempting to muddy it.
Personally, my income tax bracket does have me paying over 30%. Add in payroll taxes, of which I pay the maximum and it's even higher.
I suspect Romney is only paying capital gains. IMO capital gains should be progressive as well. The more you make, the more you pay. Imagine what a Bill Gates makes in capital gains in a year. If he had just 1 billion in cash invested and only received a 1% return, that would be a 10 million gain. To only pay 12-15% on that is ridiculous.
