Silly Dwight thinking it is OK that Romney only pays a 15% tax while everyone else pays 35-40%
Silly Emily spouting ridiculous lies claiming EVERYONE ELSE pays 35%-40% in taxes.

Romney pays only 15% in taxes because the capital gains tax rate is 15% and he makes all of his money via investment. Even EmilyHaines has the option of investing money in the financial markets and if the miracle occurs and Emily makes money, then Emily will only pay 15% taxes on that money (the same as Romney).

The only people who are paying 40% of their income in taxes are MILLIONAIRES who make all of their money outside of the market and yes they are paying too much.

The highest effective tax rate that the bottom 50% will ever pay (excluding social security which is a mandatory retirement plan imposed by the DEMOCRATIC party) is 10% and most pay far, far lower.

Romney paid over $3,000,000 in federal income tax alone in 2010 and will pay over $3,000,000 once again in 2011.

EmilyHaines paid ZERO income tax during those 2 years and somehow in his/her polluted f**ked up mind Romney is paying too little and Emily believes he is paying too much.
