Excuse me, but if Rmoney has never paid less than 13% on his income taxes,

[sinkingfeeling]

why does he and Ryan and the rest of the GOP think we need to lower taxes for the wealthy? Hell, I pay about 2 1/2 times the rate of Mittwit.

1. I make an infinitessimal miniscule of what Mitt makes and..

.. I pay about 14 to 15% in federal taxes... plus local and state sales tax,
and all kinds of hidden taxes in the form of fees and licenses along with
cable and phone add ons.

2. He never mentioned the word "income" in his recent statement.. n/t

[Quantess]

4. I bet he paid a substantial amount of property taxes and sales tax

Was it 13%? Who knows! He pulled the figure 13% out of thin air.

3. Exactly what I was thinking....

These guys keep fighting to raise their tax rate and holding the country hostage preventing it and here we have a guy admitting he pays only 13% on his income... of course that is after writing off millions so he is actually paying that 13% on maybe $20,000 .. just like everybody else!

I hope they don't let him slide on his 13% admission! Everyone knows he makes millions per year and should be in the top bracket.
