One thing I forgot. I really hate this percent business. Obama keeps saying Romney only paid 14% while lower income people paid more in taxes. Well this percent bull is a classic sales tool. Fact is , romney paid more dollars (forget percent) that Obama's total income. You don't pay taxes with percent certificates. You have to write a check in dollars.

So ask the question....who paid the most dollars in taxes last year and Romney certainly paid more thanb Obama and likely more than anyone else in that whole room last night.

The Dems never mention percent when talking 44% for small business top brackets. Add to that 11% state taxes in RI and about 10% Social security taxes and they want a small business guy to fork over 65% of the last marginal income he makes. Where's the percent talk when they are porking people? Why only to jab at a guy who paid more tax dollars than 99% of individuals in the USA?
