Since almost half of Americans pay a tax rate of 0%, I wouldn't bet on the thread title.
Romney paid 15 percent.
Obama on his 2010 tax returns paid around 25 percent.
Basic tax rate for MOST Americans is around 28 percent.
Still think Romney is a good idea?

A guy who knows how to game the system by making sure all of his income is "capital gains". Was he supposed to ignore the rules that give him an advantage? Would you?
Gee, how many people do we have gaming the system these days?
Tens of millions. On both ends of the income spectrum, squeezing the shit out of the middle.

Fine. Make it fair on everyone.
Rich and poor alike pay 10%, no exemptions, subsidies, penalties or modifications to this percentage and throw in capital gains as income.
Done. The rich pay more, the poor don't profit from 'paying'. The budget shrinks as spending in transfer payments is eliminated. Win/win all the way around.
You game?

Proof positive simple ideas confuse muddled brains and suspect ethics. I mean how the hell can you cheat someone if it's just so simple?Fine. Make it fair on everyone.

Not as many people as you think can game the system like that.
How many people do YOU know that make 50 percent of their income or more via capital gains? What's even more.........how many people do YOU know who pay 20 percent or less in taxes?

Unconscionable. Have you no care in your heart for the swindler? The cheat? Even those NOT elected to public office?

I'm guessing that almost all the posters on this board pay a tax rate higher than Mitt Romney. And since they're the ones who will be reading this, it applies.
And that's not even taking into account the inherent falseness of your assertion.
Well let's see. If less money is stolen from the rich to give to the poor, they have more money to invest, businesses then have investors AND the ability to grow and hire people. This creates jobs that can pay better and therefore help people better than a check from the fucking government.Proof positive simple ideas confuse muddled brains and suspect ethics.

Suspect ethics? I'm not the one proposing putting even more of a strain on the poor through a flat tax, while increasing our debt even further. Your plan wouldn't only hurt people such as yourself, yet you're just not smart enough to realize it. A true shame.
Yep, Because his only income is from Capital gains.
You too can enjoy this low % when you see gains in your own Retirement Portfolio, It is not just for the rich.
Should be the same. If it's not, why isn't it? Fuck exceptions. It's what got us to this point.

Ask yourself this:
What percent of capital gains income in the United States applies to rich people, and what percent applies to everyone else?
If raising the Cap Gains rate negatively affects older people, then an exception can be made on retirement income.
