Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays
With no skin in the game, just keep raising the pot with no consequences. Its a sucker bet now.
I guess in your mind that is the best you can come up with. I merely noted that far lefties who think Buffett speaks for people like me is rather idiotic. I am not envious of Buffett and I don't whine that I pay a higher effective federal income tax rate than he does. He pays tons of taxes and creates a lot of value for society. But his calls for higher taxes are designed to benefit him and is hardly altruistic.
I think everyone should pay the same income tax rate so people like you cannot demand others pay more without you paying any more yourself
with a flat rate if you want me to pay 5% more taxes so will you
I suspect that would calm down the tax hiking fervor of most citizens
