The Obamas paid an effective rate of 20.5%.... (legal, Missouri, compared)

Well earning around 800K puts him in the evil 1% so he should have his taxes raised according to him. How is 20% fair to the rest of us saps? Where are the occupy folks? Why aren't they demanding he give them some of his money?

Obama paid a tax rate 20.5% in taxes how will they swing that attack on Romney.... He won't be able to OBAMA made almost 800,000. last year....
If he wanted to he could volunteer to pay more but we know how the liberals don't like to use their own money for things.
Book sales are dropping Gee I wonder why. Could it be the books are full of a bunch of lies and is racist against even his own white grandmother

I thought he wanted the rich to pay their fair share, the pre Bush taxcut levels. Yet he paid FAR less.

Another hypocritical move by our gutless President. Cut a check to the Treasury to get your rate up to 36% Mr. 1%.

Put YOUR money where your mouth is Obama.

Romney paid 14.5 and made a lot more than Obama.

Can you say ?

Especially when they push for tax increases that would raise their rates...?

I believe he has stated that people like him should be paying more tax.

These threads are very amusing. Conservatives are trying to spin Romney into an average American any way they can.

Perhaps they should use arguments that can't be shot down in two seconds.

Well I see nobody stopping him from contributing more to the kitty. Why won't he write a check to the treasury like the previous poster says?? Or is he just a hypocrite? I think we both know the answer.

As has been said on other threads that is because the Obamas' gave 22% of their income to charity.

On the other hand at least they have released a fair amount of there tax records unlike Romney, who ardently refuses to release his 2009 return. (Many speculate that this is because he paid 0 taxes that year)

Which is why he is perfect for the job so they can use and learn from his knowledge on how to be a c0nnm@n, wait a second. America has been doing the same thing since the colonisation of america.

I'm sorry, were you just about to make a point??
