I don't know as he's not calling for all these buffet tax hikes like the orator is. If you want to talk about romney's taxes start a thread about it. This one is about the hypocrite in chief lying to all you swooners and watching you defend him. Oh and laughing at your usual "well everybody else does it" excuses.
The Koch brothers give a very high amount to charity every year but they get no credit from lefties for so doing, although they probably do it for the same reason, to lower their income taxes. I am proud of people who give to charities even though most of it is to lower income taxes.
Have no problem w/anyone taking the deduction on their taxes if they're giving to charity. Both the charities (and by addition the people they help) and the individuals gain from the act(s).
But it is about "fairness" and what is "fair." Obama is running on it. Cripes, the democrat senator from my home state of Missouri, Claire McCaskill, just went on a "fairness tour".
It's their issue, we should be entitled to explore what is "fair."
Is it fair that the Obamas, with income approaching $1 million, use federal tax subsidies to lower their effective tax rate to 20.5%?
Yes because that's the tax law. Until it changes what he and Romney did are fair.

Who cares about the Koch Brothers? What do they have to do with Romney or Obama other than they donate money? How is this relevant to the conversation? Are we now supposed to check on all donators to both campaigns?
Michelle 'African queen' Obama should pay an extra tax for making people look at her grotesque baboon-like face and tolerate her disgusting racism and hatred of America
Rep if u agree, I will rep u back if u leave your screen name in the rep comment

Good, I hope everyone is just as consistent, including Obama and his fellow democrats, who are making "fairness" a centerpiece of their campaign this fall.

LOL. Romney will be made into the most evil rich person to ever walk earth before the left and their spin masters get done with him. Obama will be made out to be a peasant barely getting along on his meager presidential salary.
