Wealthy Mitt Romney admits he's taxed at an average middle-class rate, not like a multimillionaire

Do tell.

Dr. Bill_mr is dat MIT Mass? ;)

Mr_Bill pays a higher tax rate, and makes substantially less than $100,000.

But some of remember that when Nelson Rockefeller ran for VZ, he released his tax returns and we learned that he paid less, in dollars, than his secretary....but Nelson was super-rich.

Bill O'Really? was talkinhg about this last night on Fox "News", and said that income from investments should be taxed at a lower rate because that encourages investing. What he failed to mention is that most of us don't make almost all of our income from investments. If people who think earning $300,000 from speakers fees isn' "very much" also think they can relate to the majority of our country, we're screwed.

Great Post!!!They use the same old talking points about rich create jobs. Trickle Down Economics is just the rich pissing on the rest of us. And then they wonder why our talking point is the Repub party is for the rich. Wait until they find out most of Romney's money is in off shore banks to avoid ANY taxes.

And how is Bloomberg taxed, what about Rahm Emmanuel, or GE (company doesn't pay taxes) CEO Jeff Immelt?

What about Obama and his bonehead property deal with Tony Rezko, what about Nancy Pelosi's 62% INCREASE in her income, what about Warren Buffet still oweing the government tax money?

It's ALL wealthy people, it's democrat wealth and republican wealth.

Mitt Romney has a proven record of getting businesses going. Our country needs someone with those skills. It certainly hasn't President Obama. He doesn't have those skills.

GO MITT!

Also, let's consider that the investments people like Romney make are largely overseas.

Vin...we're not against incredibly wealthy people. You don't see us complaining about how much Hollywood actors make, do you? This is about how people like Romney make their money, and how they use it to shape our country and our economy.

Oh, and Vin, since you're so against "handouts". read this and get back to us, ok? http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-01-1...

This Romney is very bad candidate, it is something worse than even Bush. It is candidate of all speculators and pro-war oriented criminals. If this guy would win, it will be very bad thing.
He will reduce social care, he will make high taxes for all people from middle and poor class and this middle class in usa is always and always poorer and he will send troops even to China to invade, not mention giving money for all possible speculators in wall street and other speculators.
The other candidate is Ron Paul, really good, wise, nice republican with conservative values and normal intentions and who will care about USA and needs of nation.

GO MITT!

it is following problem. Both obama and romney are globalists, they do not care about interests of people from USA, they care about interests of global speculators, robbers, military lobby and they are no good. romney is apparently much worse as obama and voting for this man is cardinal mistake.
You, people in USA have choice, you can vote for normal, good, wise and peaceful candidate and great politician Ron Paul. It will bring profits for your nation, if this man will be president. He will change thisa politic of disaster, he supports middle class, he will withdraw these troops from Afghanistan and probably from many another regions, he will make reasonable cuts and he will support middle class = majority of your society. If you have a little bit common reason then do not vote for a moron like romney, which will apparently make poor class from your middle class and who will make global genocide and deep pockets of global speculators more full than the<y are till now.

If you're concerned about social care, Ron Paul is not your guy. He doesn't just want to reduce it, he wants to eliminate it.

What difference does it make? They're all alike. The more we keep tit-for-tatting over who's the worse tax cheat the more they all get away with it.

Romney is another anti-Christ neo-Marxist.

Our ONLY option

IS

RON PAUL! The Real American!

Doesn't take more than average intelligence to evaluate Ron thinking. He very clear and lucid and transparent.

Look at the other LOSERS!

Wealthy Mitt Romney admits he's taxed at an average middle-class rate, not like a multimillionaire
.
except Mitt pays about 15%, and the middle-class pays about 35%
and the middle-class gets NOTHING for it!
