Well Romney does pay his taxes and paid over $4 million in a year. And he donated 5+ million to the Mormon church. Capital gains taxes are 15% due to the nature of the investment, it's not guaranteed. He just has great advisors who make wise investments. The wealthy pay 42% income tax, his wasn't income it was capital gains.
When I say fair share, I don't mean that Romney broke any laws (that we can prove, yet), I mean that tax policy needs to change to favor the majority of Americans and not the rich. Raising taxes on guys like Romney is good for America. Why should a janitor pay a higher rate than a multi millionaire? The SLIGHT rise in tax rates proposed by Obama will help with the deficit (which you seem to care about), fund the country, and be in line with low tax rates in the past that were prosperous.
And you forgot to mention the Mormon Church. If they are going to be a political organization then lets get fair taxes off their 5 Billion annual income.
Obama had added 5 trillion to the deficit.
No. The debt went up, but Obama didn't..........
A. Cause the first 1.2 trillion dollar debt in 2009 which was already on the books forcast before he took office
B. Start 2 wars costing an estimated 4T when its all said and done.
C. Crash the economy which lowered revenue by more than 1 T per year
D. Lower taxes for rich people. 1T over ten years.
E. Bail out the banks. 800 B right there.
F. Obama also isn't to blame for the Jobs bill not passing and other initiatives blocked by Republicans who want a shitty economy to help them win elections.
The bottom 47% of the country pay 0% of federal tax. Where's their fair share?. The should be accountable for something.
Where's there fair share? Jesus that's a good one. They don't have anything! If you need to fill up Lake Mead, are you going to use the Colorado River, or are you going go after someones cup of water? 1% of America has the all the water. that's how you fill up the lake.
It didn't used to be like that. All the money went to the top, and now the people at the top say lets get more money from the dregs still left at the bottom.
Republicans are criticized for favoring the rich and fighting a war against the middle class. Do you not see how true this is, with your own talking point? Half the country has 2% of the wealth. 150 million people with less money than 400 fat cats at the top, and you whine that they don't pay enough? You could take all their money and it would not add up to shit.
That's not the way America should be.
Somehow we attack the wealthy as if they did something wrong. Romney is a self made millionaire and that used to be the American dream.
Self made? Not quite. A spoiled rich kid son of a CEO and Politician blue blood who never experienced, not even for one day, the struggles most Americans face.
