what was it Romney said when made excuses for only paying 13% on his tax that one year? That he paid what was required of him and not a penny more?
but 47% who pay what is required of them.. and not a penny more ..
they're parasites who he doesn't need to concern himself with ? and you cheer him on?
why is it 'good tax policy' for someone of Romney's wealth to pay a very minimal, but legal, rate.. but when someone making >30,000 gets the same benefit they're mooching off the system? 62% of Romney's leeches do pay taxes, they pay them in payroll(and btw, they paid more than they would have in income tax), and 1/2 remaining 18% are seniors who have already paid into the system their entire lives.. a cpl million of them are WWII vets.. what leeches...
18.1%.. that's the amount that pays no taxes.. some of them seniors.. others, poor beyond words.. but some are the
3000 or so hedgefund guys who made <$2million who didn't pay a dime in IT either..
what was it Romney did? Hedge fund guy? make sense he won't release his taxes then..
According to the tax policy center.. the same organization you used, the gov't gets it's funding from 42% income tax and 40% payroll tax
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/background/numbers/revenue.cfm
but wait? I thought those 40% were victims not paying anything but looking for a handout? The truth is that while they aren't funding the gov't with their income tax, because like Romney et al, they are only paying what is required of them..they ARE funding the gov't with their payroll taxes.
the people they are funding by the way? Parents with disabled children, veterans returning from war who are disabled,people who have lost their jobs,seniors, military families who are on food stamps.. not too mention warren buffet's (and other in his tax bracket) ss and medicare.. IOW the 'victims'.. and the people who just can't seem to take personal responsibility and care for their lives..
and your party has the gall to not just agree with him? but cheer him on and then look at Obama and say "he's divisive".. Romney just shit on 47% of the country by calling them parasites.. he didn't say 47% of the people who will vote for Obama, he said 47% of the country.. IOW, one out of two people in your family, in your workplace, in your life aren't worth the effort to your own party and you are happy with that..
It's no wonder that when these assholes get into office they don't give a shit about you and only work for their own interests.. you don't give shit about yourself.. so why in the hell would they?
I don't know what you do, how wealthy you are.. or what age you are.. but I know this, at some point in time..whether it's due to loss of employment, loss of health, or 'age' you
will be one the people your party disdains and labels 'victim looking for a handout'.. how awesome for you.
