Here's the MATH showing how Mitt has a lower federal tax rate than "non taxpaying 47%ers":

Last edited Fri Oct 19, 2012, 07:47 PM - Edit history (1)

Though Mitt and Ryan are arithmetically challenged, here's the math any fence-sitting independent can easily understand:

- - - showing how a middle class entrepreneur pays 75% higher federal tax rate than Mitt (any other capital gains/carried interest/One Percenter)

- - - how Mitt pays roughly the same, or a slightly lower federal rate than a typical family in the 47% he falsely maligns as "not paying taxes"

and this easily digested information detailing the GOP assault on the Middle Class is just begging to be Emailed, Tweeted, cross-posted or Facebooked to every fence-sitting independent, relative, or co-working interested in the survival of the middle class:

Between now and November 6, the lies from the Fox "News"/RW Wurlitzer will be the most intense & brazen we have ever seen. How else can the GOP try to convince independents (as well as 90% of the Republican base) to ignore & vote against their own interests?

Since the corporate media won't do their job, let's take the math VIRAL.
