should be presented as a learning experience if Obobo told the truth at tonight's State of The Union address.
Some (like Obobo) will say Romney "didn't pay his fair share", even though he paid about $3 Million in income taxes in 2010. Meanwhile, how many of us pay a fraction of that amount?
Perhaps Obobo should ask if it's fair that nearly 50% of Americans have no skin in the game (pay no income taxes at all), while others pay millions? What if everything worked this way?
Also note that Romney gave away to charity about $3 Million.
I'll bet when Obobo reads the teleprompter at tonight's "State of the Union" address, there'll be no mention of Romney's charitable donations. Lots of fuel will be added to the class warfare fire when the teleprompter implies it isn't fair Romney pays "so little" in taxes, focusing on the percentage, little or no mention of the dollar amount, and certainly no teaching moment explaining the merits of the capital gains tax table.
p.s.
Obobo, the wealth re-distribution Socialist, gave less than 1% annually to charity until he upped it to 5% when he had political aspirations.
Romney gives close to 15% of his yearly income to charities based on 2010 return and 2011 estimated returns.
In fairness, these totals do not include the money from other people Obama has redistributed (typical liberal mindset of being generous with other people's money).
