Thats because Warren Buffets salary is a meager $100K a year..

Why do you think he keeps it so low?

If Romney wanted to prove the allegation false, he could do that this afternoon. He could have done it two weeks ago.

He's done nothing but stonewall.

Maybe because the reality is worse than the allegation.

Under Ryans plan, there are two tax brackets, not 6.

Including tax increases on EVERYONE, and having 3 tax rates 12% on the poor, (I can hear the whining now), 22% and 28% on the middle and upper incomes.

When have I ever whined about simpson/bowles? I haven't. I support because I actually care about reducing the country's debt.

Yup, because he doesn't care about debt and deficits. Ryan and ideologues on the right use the deficit to push their failed ideology that doesn't reduce our debt.

He has no need to prove the allegations false just like Obama has no need to prove he's not a child molester.
