Just more right-wing nutjob spin crap to make it look like none of us pay taxes except the 'job creatorers' and the really 'hard workerers' at the top...The rest of us are just deadbeats crying about them not paying enough!
Its all schemantics, we pay higher taxes in other ways, at the end of the day the rich dbags know every trick in the book to not pay their fair share, meanwhile we are told we are ungrateful, lazy, dolts because we complain that someone making 50million dollars a year only pays 7million a year in taxes.
Funny thing is the tea-tards that are regurgitating this right-wing talk-radiot crap are the very bottom-feeders who are most affected by this disparity! Tea-tards/talk-radiots suffer the 'battered wife syndrome'...That's the only explanation for what morons they are!
The earned income credit needs to be done away with it is a big scam.
Along with the lower rates on capital gains, standard deductions and also credits for having children.
FICA should be on all wages and investment income with no limits.
If pain is going to be felt, it needs to be felt by everyone.
Not just those who are just getting by.
Then folks might take off the political blinders.
Actually the number reported does not include FICA. His pay roll taxes are so small anyways and his income so large that it wouldn't change the number. Yes you find it outrageous that people have to help fund their own retirement. But the point stands. It is a lie to say that most Americans pay more in federal income taxes than Romney.
And yet again you're WRONG, In 2010, the Romneys forked over $29,150 of self-employment tax (FICA) on self-employment income of just under $594,000. FYI, that 13.9% effective tax rate mittens claims does included the fica taxes he paid.
Comparing mittens tax rate with FICA to everyone else's (also with FICA) give you this, mittens paid less percentage wise than someone in the $34k-$50k range.

FAIL.. I think the point of the thread is that 97% pay less than 15% in income tax.. This would be of ALL individuals, not just those in the top.
It's funny that so many "conservatives" have taken to attacking Mitt Romney over his finances. The GOP used to stand for success, yet I see they have taken to phony "populism." Quite sad.

Left wing crap talk=FAIR SHARE
No matter how high you libs raise the rates it will not be enough because you SPEND TOO MUCH!!

No. People that don't need Social Security shouldn't get it. They are secure already. If you earn more than say $150,000 a year in retirement then you don't need social security.
Yes, the tax laws need reforming...people should be paying even less. I could care less about what you think of sources or what not. I don't see any real realiable sources for whatever you think you are arguing here. The point is, it is wrong to make people, who are not smart enough to know better, that they are paying more taxes than Mitt Romney when most of them are not.
The point is you're providing partial data and trying to make a comparison. I'm certain you could care less. You want reliable information I provided a link -- irs.gov. Plenty of people are smart enough, no matter how often you belittle them. The question is whether or not they have the monetary means to pay a whole slew of accountants and tax attorney's to avail them every means of reducing their tax burden. The fact that you think folks shouldn't pay taxes for benefit's provided by the State is stupendous. It's a ridiculous assertion.
