In reply to the discussion: SECRET VIDEO: Romney Tells Millionaire Donors What He REALLY Thinks of Obama Voters [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)8 percent are unemployed because Bush* tanked the economy, and the rest are underemployed and don't make enough to pay taxes. I imagine some of the underemployed are making too few dollars because of Republican policies focusing on UNION BUSTING and paying minimum wage or less. In short, Mitt Romney, 27 percent pay no taxes because of the living standards forced on them by Republican policies. So why are you surprised they are not going to vote for you? They are not "dependent" -- they are exploited by you and other people like you. And I suppose you think those living with their retirement have not earned it ....
But go ahead, try and "take" the election. Then you will be in a position to cancel the mortgage interest tax deduction, the deduction on one's Federal taxes for state and local income taxes, and all capital gains taxes. That way, you will be increasing the taxes on the 47 percent by virtue of eliminating deductions they need, and you will be rewarding your own donors. What a win-win situation for you.
