Where in Gods green earth are you getting the idea Romney pays only 1%? You know I would like to see both sides of the stroy and I would love to have enough income to pay more in taxes, but when I see statements like, "he pays less than 1% I can't even keep an open mind about the other side.

Nonsense, is claiming something is true, without anything to back it up.. but here ya are..
Silly, silly pgh. Romney has provided no proof that he paid a dime in taxes before 2010. That's not a lie, that is the absolute truth. You know it, I know it, everyone on this board knows it. No amount of nonsense on your part can refute the fact that Romney has provided not a shred of evidence he paid any income taxes whatsoever before 2010, and in fact, he continues to refuse to provide a shred of evidence to that effect. Obfuscate away, that still remains the fact.

I would be more than happy if the rich paid 20%. Obama wants 30% of capital gains and I think that is excessive (at that level it really would discourage investment). But the Romney/Ryan plan is 0% and that is just plain wrong when middle income people are paying the percentages they are and the country is struggling with the deficits it is.

Ahh, seen now you're moving the goal post so you dont appear to be supporting stupidity.

Saying he hasnt showed proof that he's paid a dime, isnt the same as saying he hasnt paid a dime, which is what you were supporting just 2 minutes ago.

Why the need to move the goal post? Because you are upset at finding out Obama is a child molester until he proves otherwise according to standards you set

Romney & Ryan: The first interview - CBS News
I don't believe he is the one that would be setting the percentage. Isn't that congress' job?

Back on topic, Romney has provided no proof that he paid a single dime in taxes in 2009 and before.
It's not the accused to prove their innocence. It's on the accuser.

Conservatives and right-wingers don't give a crap out debt and deficits. It's all ideology. They just want to privatize everything and eliminate taxes.

Do you know what moving the goal post means? Because I'm not sure that you do. Everyone has stated that FOR ALL WE KNOW, Romney hasn't paid any taxes. The point is Romney is not giving any of us any proof of anything. That's MUCH different from your Obama example, because that is criminal conduct, and we'd sure hear all about it if Obama had a criminal record LOL.

And Obama has provided no proof that he is not a child molester. He has not provided a shred of evidence prove his innocence. See, 2 can play the silly game.

But maybe we can use a "real life" situation. Obama has provided no proof that he knew nothing about Fast and Furious. In fact, he blocked any attempt to have the proof released. Hmmmm, I think he MUST be hiding something.

Point out where "for all we know" was used?

Hey, for all I know, Obama is a child molester. Maybe he should release his criminal records to prove he's never been caught..
