Mitt Romney and Warren Buffet are paying like 15% in taxes, yet being a hard-working sales rep in a competitive cut-throat industry I finally have a big sales month where I was "paid" $15,000 in commissions. Yet, when I get my paycheck on Friday it says $8200. Thanks Obama for letting me keep 53% of my hard earned income.
Because I'm commissioned, companies in my industry only pay us like $35,000 for a base salary/draw and I rely on commission as a big part of my income. After a year of hard work and making very little commission (new to the company, tough economy) this is the first real big paycheck I've been able to make in the first full year.....and Obama took half of it.
Is your complaint with romney and buffet or with mr obama?
Obama and the rest of the leaders in Federal Government.

No, but they're an example of wealthy Americans that pay a lower percent in taxes than I do. Reading comprehension is not just reading the words, but putting them together and understanding their meaning.
Wow, Obama is at fault for every tax rate and law in the history of the US?
That is amazing, I wish I could run everything throughout time...even before I was born.
The great thing about the internet is you can pull up many clips of Obama saying he will tax the rich higher than the middle and lower class. Obviously he can be blamed for lying.

United States of America = Fail
Commissions are taxed at the HIGHEST RATE. You will get a refund when you file at the end of the year and your actual rate is determined. This is to ensure you pay enough throughout the year.

It's not the government's money to take. I don't care if they pay it back an entire YEAR later. That's a year of interest free loan the government is taking from me. I need that money now to live. What right does the government have to take my income regardless of whether it's a salary or commission. If anything, I worker harder to earn the commission than the salary.
