By make it fair, it is not depending Romney to pay more. It is depending you tax less.
Why give good money to the government to waste? If government downsize itself by 80 to 90% then we would not be arguing this problem. Everyone would be paying like 5 or 10% flat. Or even tax free like pre 1913.
I dont begrude Mitt for making tons of money but income should be income, I dont care how you make it. Again, folks like mitt and buffett to pay less than their secretaries is ludicrous. I also dont agree that there should be a ceiling on social security, maybe they should lower the percentage,but all income should be taxed. Its not right that someone making less than $106,800 has to pay soc sec tax on 100% of their income, and someone who makes over that, is only taxed up to that amount.
I think you guys all got it wrong. If you want fairness, then demand the government to tax you the same low rate as Romney.
I am not a fan of Romney, but a big fan of small government. The solution to a smaller government is simple, don't give them your hard earned money.
Don't demand the wealthy to pay more, it will only create class warfare and then more regulations. DEMAND THE GOVERNMENT TO TAX YOU LESS. Force the government to downsize.
If you want the wealthy to pay more, the government benefit
If you demand the government to tax you less, YOU benefit.
I don't know about you. I am happier to keep more of my money than having the wealthy keep less of theirs.
He's probably worried that the LDS church will find out that he hasn't been giving them the mandatory 10%.
LOL Yeah, maybe that.
My suspicions are that, by agreeing to release the most current one only, that gives his high paid accountants and bookkeepers a chance to make some "adjustments" between now and April.
I am astonished that anyone would pay that kind of money to hear him speak
Me, too! LOL
And of course Mittens says that almost $400,000 in speaking fees isn't very much. After all, he was willing to bet Rick Perry $10,000 to prove some point.

You make an outstanding case against the "benefits" of SS!
Now....do you invest?
Suppose you miraculously received some ambition.
You take that ambition and decide to invest your hard earned (already taxed) money in an investment property.
Do you want that income taxed at your normal tax rate, or 15%?
