Once again, proving Gruber right, that most voters are STUPID. No clue at the difference between income and gains, but willing to spout off about how unfair the rate is.
The IRS isn't targeting your family, and making them pay more in taxes. They pay on INCOME, Buffett pays on GAINS.
Never. Some people cannot differentiate income from wealth.
Earning a hefty salary with no assets does not make you "rich".
Lose the job and you are no better off then people on welfare.
It's wealth and a stream of revenue from your assets that make you wealthy.
The instant gratification crowd can't be bothered with investing and patience to watch their investments grow.
They want what they want now and if they can't afford it then by golly they will find someone else that can pay if for them.
CEO's/billionaires make their personal income from stocks, and they pay taxes on their personal income with capital gains tax rates.
Republicans live in a fantasy world where CEO's/billionaires take home millions of dollars in personal income/gains (they then use that money to buy homes, buy cars, and put in their bank accounts) AND REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THAT MONEY IS NOT PERSONAL INCOME.
Google search "Mitt Romney's home, vacation home, jet, car collection" Romney is using his gains to buy vacation homes and classic car collections (those gains are personal income.)
And liberals live in a fantasy world where all CEO's are billionaires.
You do realize that many of those "evil" gains you speak about are in retirement funds for seniors, right? Why do you hate old people so much, when all they're trying to do is retire after saving their entire lives?
Romney is a greedy, stupid, honor-less CEO that brainwashes republicans to fight for his 14% tax rate, while my millionaire non-CEO cousin has a 30%+ tax rate.
Then Romney (the cult leader) of republicans gets his brain dead zombie followers to vote to give him this.
If your millionaire CEO cousin hasn't figured out how to pay less than 30% in taxes, I'd say they're the stupid one.
