Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays
I definitely agree with Haymarket, so I won't bother repeating what he already pointed out, but I would add that even for a Democrat being megarich does kind of make it harder for them to connect with the voters. Kerry struggled with that for example. But when you add on top of that a candidate who is campaigning on things like cutting programs the middle class rely on and further reducing the tax burden on the super rich, that's a lot bigger problem. Especially during a year like this where awareness of the rich/working people gap is so high.
Because the mega rich dems are SO connected with the little folk...right? :lamo
