Confused again...didn't you say this:
Which I questioned WHO ELSE was proposed to paying more...
I love it when you play ignorant.

My point was that those wealthy like Romney, who's income is primarily from investments pay a far less percentage of their total income on FICA than do median income workers.
The middle class and the poor are paying less because they have less. AS we found in the election, the majority no longer see any reason to continue to allow the tax cuts for the wealthy to continue.
So what? He pays 1000x more tax. A median income worker paid 10,000 in taxes. Romney paid 3 million. Did he get something more for his contribution?

You don't understand percentages do you? Counting FICA taxes, the median income worker pays a higher percentage of his total income in Federal and state taxes than do people like Romney.
As has become painfully clear to the majority of the country, a consumer economy cannot prosper when too much of the wealth is concentrated at the top.
what will you do when the rich unite and decide to squash people like you?
the old from each according to their ability (and votes)
a country that caters to dependency and parasitic activity fails
its funny how you always try to justify your class envy arguments by appealing to the authority of the masses

You don't understand that FICA is not FIT, do you? Romney pays the maximum FICA tax (considerably more than most), and a higher tax rate than 97% of Americans.
Thanks for the morning humor, ttwtt!
All 2% of you? Sounds like quite the revolution! Wall Street on parade!
Care to actually couneter any of my points, with sources? It is easy to blow off facts as "humor" but that does not change them.
FICA makes up almost half of federal revenues, just as does FIT. The working class have to pay both based on 100% of their income. The wealthy, do not.
If the republicans ignore the public polls on on taxes like they did on the election, and continue to hold the middle class tax cuts hostage so the rich can keep their tax cuts, they will lose the House for sure in 2014. If that is their decision, I say Godspeed to them!
I assume you are actually employed?
Wanna bet who has control of the congress after 2014?
I want you and the other conservatives continue to propose sacrificing the middle class and seniors to save the tax cuts for the rich. The elections will take care of themselves then.
What you had to say didn't interest me enough to respond. Please try harder.
Great debating technique - if you don't agree then simply reply with nonsense. If asked to clarify your disagreement then simply blow it off. You are a debate loser, enjoy (and ponder) that thought. :roll:
He normally refers to the masses and claims that trumps all logic
would you support a GOP plan that is just as likely to raise the same revenue as Obama's tax hike on the rich only even if the GOP plan did not raise tax rates?

No, because there is not enough wealth left in the middle class to tax them any further.
False. The middle class accounted for 3 trillion in AGI, and only paid 138 billion in income tax. Thats leaves a lot of income to tax, nevermind wealth.
