Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays
Tax Accounting Classes! Everybody, Tax Accounting Classes! I do not pay a higher tax rate than Romney. Gads. Unbelievable. As a matter of fact, AdamT, most of my money is in Dreyfus/Putnam/Other municipal bond funds on which I pay no Federal income tax at all. Some of it is in tax-sheltered annuities I've had for years that have a 5% floor. Suhweeet. 15%? No.Where.Near. And neither do you.
However you want to spin it, she pays a higher tax rate than Romney is paying. Now, maybe Mitt has spent some sleepless nights crying himself to sleep wondering whether or not he'll be able to raise that 15% ... but I rather doubt it.
