The average American family makes $50,000.00 a year.
Romney paid 13.9% in taxes.
The average American's taxes are double Romney's.
This is the bottom line.
Romney's tax plan would cut his taxes by half.
Newt's tax plan would taxes for Romney all together.
Both would raise taxes on the average American.
I want to see Republicans run on this.
Why should the Republicans run on your bullshit lies? I think we'd all be better off if they ran on the truth . . . except you, because the truth would probably make your head explode. Let's find out, shall we?
"The average American's taxes are double Romney's." That's what you said. Well, double Romney's would be about 27-28%. According to the IRS, the average filer in 2009 paid 12.8%. That's not only NOT 27-28%, it's LESS than the percentage that Romney paid, even leaving aside the difference between income taxes and capital gains taxes. When you factor in all the people not paying any federal income taxes at all, 97% of the country pays less than Mitt Romney does.
Furthermore, while the top tax bracket is 35%, NO ONE pays taxes exclusively at that rate. Again according to the IRS, the highest average tax rate is 25.8%, for those making between $2 million and $5 million. Not only is that less than you claim the "average American" is paying, but when the hell did people making an income of $2-5 million a year become "average Americans"?
Let's hear no more of these ridiculous lies.
