and for the...4th time?...he's not paying 15% of his salary, he's paying 15% or so on his capital gains from investments he made with after-tax earned income(salary) which was already taxed at the top maginal rate when it was earned...good grief  Joe the butcher is very likely paying little or no federal income tax when all is said and done if he is in the bottom 60% of earners |
i never once faulted romney. How can I, he is following the rules?
I fault the rules. Not romney. As is stated earlier, its not just the %, its the deductions and other. A working family making 100K - 300K, while well off is getting SCREWED in taxes. The code is not fair and has not been adjusted.
Not romneys fault.
