I paid a higher tax rate than Romney, and it's my privilege to be able to support multiple homes and elevators for cars for the super wealthy. I mean, do you know what a stable of horses costs these days?
A percentage of income is a percentage of income. All income. Just close the loopholes and tax ALL income at the same rate, including capital gains, then I'd be happy. It should be a sliding rate, cause, 10% of 1000 means a whole lot more than 10% of a million, to the individual. But even then, if you tax it all fairly, then the upper rate doesn't need to be 30%.
And that bull about them being 'job creators' is just that. BS Individual tax rates don't have squat to do with job creating except for the gardener and pool boy. Taxing Romney fairly wouldn't make him less of a business man. He'd still like firing people at the higher rate.![]()
