You're right about that, the Romney-Bot probably did pay more in taxes than I made in my best year with lots of OT, for walking iron, pulling welding leads. & all he's doing is running for president.
They say that Investing is risky & you don't always win, But there are deductions for losses, yet the rate is held low at 15%. If 15% is more than the average wage earner makes per year Gross, then effen right it's to low. :doh eace
Over and over and over again, this point has been upheld. He did pay more FIT than 97% of Americans. Unless you are in the top 2.5-2.8% of income earners, you pay less FIT with only standard deductions (you know, the ones everyone gets). The talking point about his income is debunked. And that is including his capital gains rate which is supposed to be so incredibly low.
