Make it equal for all.. that is my 2 cents!


Little off topic, sry.. my daily vent!

You might want to take a better look at your tax returns unless you dont itemize. The vast majority of Americans who actually do pay taxes pay less than 12% if you itemize.



BTW, I completely agree with you about the tax code. If I cant get the FairTax, give me a flat tax. No deductions, to credits, no loop holes, and no progressive rates. Everyone that earns an income, whether it be earned or capital gains, pays 15% off the top to the feds.

Also where does he invest his money? and how does that help us here?

I'll pass on Romney!
So you wont vote for Romney because he is rich? Obama is rich too, as is Gary Johnson, so I guess you are going to sit this one out.

What has Obama done for the middle class besides raise taxes? I dont give him credit for continuing a tax break he had no hand in passing in the first place.

The poor? They made their choices and they should live with them.

Why is it your business where he invests his money? His taxes were prepared by one of the best accounting firms in the world so unless you are smarter than they are, I will take their word for it. For your average rich guy, I have no doubt they would stretch the rules, but not for a presidential candidate. His returns will be perfect and probably over paid just to be safe.


As for sheltering money from the feds, what is more middle class than that? Every single person here that itemizes their returns does it. The one that is out of touch would be the one that never inflates a deduction.
