Romney Pay's 13.9% Effective Tax Rate

"Dude! You had a threesome with my girlfriend and my little sister! WTF?!"

"Is it illegal?"

"Why, no it isn't. My bad. Sorry, for getting out of line there."

Since YOU brought them into it, the rules state it's open season.

If they don't have a ring on, they are both fair game. Not someone else's problem if you can't satisfy your GF and she goes looking elsewhere.

Good thing people like Mittens and Paris Hilton only pay HALF the tax rate that someone who goes to work every day, day in, day out for 40 years pays.

 

[Article 15]

Well.. impose a flat 20% tax on every dollar earned, no matter the source, with zero exceptions, and zero loopholes... then you would have no complaints, right??

Throw in a first 20k exemption and you got yourself a deal. Until then you're just hammering Americans who are barely getting by.

You wont do that because you hate these people.

Wealthy Romney ‘pays 13.9% tax’ | Stock Market News - Business & Tech News


Mitt Romney said he paid all the taxes that were legally required – and not a dollar more

US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has said he expects to pay about $6.2m (£4m) in taxes on income of $42.5m in the last two years.

That makes for a tax rate of 13.9% in 2010 and an expected rate of 15.4% in 2011, his campaign said.

My wife and I receive pensions and social security which we earned and paid into all our lives and we pay 19%. Everything we have is paid for so all our income is subject to taxation at some percentage....even our social security.

So? Please share, what was your effective tax rate last year?

I think there needs to be some exemption for say, first $15,000 or whatever... that is open for discussion. After that, yes indeed... flat rate for EVERYBODY.

And I wasn't bringing my GF and lil sister "into it"... I put forth a hypothetical situation.

If you take that as an opening to start leveling personal attacks on my family there will be a problem.

Well, Rangle and Daschle didn't. Don't you like how Democrats are upset about a Republican who paid his taxes and could give a crap about Democrats who committed massive fraud? But that is liberalism...

Good thing people like Mittens and Paris Hilton only pay HALF the tax rate that someone who goes to work every day, day in, day out for 40 years pays.

You got it.....I worked for the same company for 41 years and my total lifetime earnings was about $500,000. We lived modestly and educated all three of my children, two with masters degrees. While I was paying for the house and we were tithing to the church we were always tight but after my various homes were paid off and I quit the church when I was about sixty years old we're still paying at a higher rate than Romney but we don't have to worry about anything.

I don't think you did. Hence, the word "if".

i'd say that romney has a "perception" issue.

You earned 12,500/yr?

The one fair and relevant question to ask Mitt Romney in light of this is,

'You pay 15% now. Why do you feel you need to pay even less than that in the future?'

Romney's tax plan would give him a huge tax cut, would bust the budget (again!) and would actually raise taxes on many lower income Americans.

Ok, let me get this straight.... 41 years, $500,000.. that' an average of $12,195/yr. Off of this, you bought not one, but TWO homes, tithed to the church AND sent three kids through college two of which with advanced degrees.

You sure this is what you are saying? And at $12,195/yr... that means you paid $0 income taxes for 41 years and you are bitching because Romney only paid $3,000,000+... a year?

Sounds like you should be sending the American taxpayer a thank you card becuase you have been living of them for your entire adult life.

Yep and Tim Geitner kinda sorta forgot to pay his as well.

Don't hesitate to bring that up when Rangel and Daschle run for president.
