U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he thinks it is "fair" that he pays a lower tax rate on his investment income of $20 million last year than someone who made $50,000 annually.
"Yeah," Romney said in an interview aired on Sunday on the CBS television show "60 Minutes," when he was asked if he thought his relatively low rate was fair.

He should have said, "my tax rate is the legal rate"

Not claiming all his charitable deductions, which would've made his rate even lower, is another rugby slight-of-hand.

There's no room for Jesus in your party. It's officially joseph smith. Watching the evantalibanicals trod to the polls to deny their Lord and accept the teachings of bishop rugby will be priceless. The Simon Peter Party. |

Judged: 1 1 Your arrogance knows no bounds, does it? This country was created by our CREATOR? You're saying He didn't create the entire world and everyone in it? Jesus loves the little children....all the children of the world....red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight...Jesus loves the little children of the world. Until you get a REAL understanding of what it's like to be Christ-like, please don't around pretending to be a Christian. |

What is "fair" depends on who you ask.

The new Democrat policies of wealth redistribution is already happening. The victims of these policies are the widows and widowers. Their spouses spent their lives accumulating some wealth, so that their surviving spouse could have a decent income in their waining years. With Democrat Fed policies, the widows are receiving exceptionally low returns on the million, or even several million invested dollars left them, often as low as 0.20% on their savings. This forces them to constantly live on the remaining principle, further decreasing their standards of living. As their principle decreases, their return decreases. Still, Democrat standards disallow these low income people from receiving financial aid, not even food stamps are allowed them, because of the remaining principle in their savings. It becomes a Catch 22 for widows and widowers, as Democrats continue to steal from the vulnerable, while their policies cause continued inflation of basic necessities, further impacting these "millionaires", whose spouses had the audacity to want to give their families something after they passed away.

US Tax Code allows international investment. Many US companies advantage that Code, including those run by Democrats. “The so-called offshore account in the Cayman Islands…is an account established by a U.S. firm to allow foreign investors to invest in U.S. enterprises and not be subject to taxes outside of their own jurisdiction,” Mr. Romney said.“The world of finance is not as simple as some would have you believe,” he added.“Sometimes a foreign entity is formed to allow foreign investors to invest in the United States, which may well be the case with the entities that Democrats are describing as foreign accounts.” Politifact.com says "As long as profits are not brought back to the United States, or "repatriated," no tax is due. Federal law allows the taxation of "passive income," meaning the interest earned on profits of those subsidiaries. But typically the companies reinvest the money elsewhere, Shackelford said." Taxing passive income means that any profits ever brought back into US Tax Code jurisdiction get taxed. Your Fascist economic principles fly in the face of concepts of freedom long established by Americans actually practicing enhancement of international economic realities, instead of talking international trade, while talking no international trade in an economic reality even Democrats admit would disadvantage US businesses if they weren't allowed to partake of the same advantages other nations practice. |
