And many wealthy people are exempt in ways that would embarrass them if word got out: Romney doesn't want Americans to see what he really pays after exemptions and shelters.
If you want to argue tax policy is legal .. D'Oh! The matter of the fact is many wealthy people and corporations complain about taxes they NEVER pay.
Lots of poor people- OWS parasite types like you, also complain a.bout taxes theY never pay.
Still dragging the topic back onto the tracks here. . . .
Mitt Romney earned his millions. Yes he was fortunate to be born into an affluent family and that family certainly gave him some values, work ethic, ability to obtain a top quality education, and probably some encouragement and tutoring on how to put it to work for fun and profit. He did NOT keep ANY of his inheritance from his father, however, as he didn't need it so he gave it all away. Probably proportionately he doesn't pay as much in taxes as he would pay if he were more middle class, but if he was more middle class he would not be running for high office because he would be focused on supporting his family.
So long as he is paying the taxes he owes, why should it matter to anybody how much in taxes he pays. There is no suggestion he is cheating on his taxes. You can be damn sure the IRS has looked at Romney's taxes very closely by now.
How is it NOT class warfare to try to diminish and smear him re what he pays in taxes? Why are his accomplishments somehow less worthy than a rock star or movie actor or sports figure who also earn millions and millions of dollars? Do you think the left would be clamoring for Oprah (last reported to be worth more than 2 billion) to open up years and years of her tax returns if she decided to run for high office? Did they do that to John Kerry or ANY other affluent Democrat who has run for office? The record would not suggest that they did.
