“Very high-income people of this country pay roughly 15 percent of taxes if their resources are coming from investments, and under their plan it would go to zero,” said Romney. “I just don’t think that’s the right course. I think that with our precious dollars we should focus on providing relief – tax relief – really in two areas: one is for middle-income Americans that have been hurt the most and secondly is to bring our corporate tax rates to a level where we could draw people from other countries to bring their funds into this country.”
Really?? I mean seriously. Richie Rich only pays about 15% ( not counting those rebates and deductions that can take it to 0%) And you just want to say "Screw It" and just let them slide?
Well you can just kiss my tired old skinny white ass if you think I'll let that fly. I worked my ass off for a whole lot of years to finally get a decent income. I never payed less than 30% in federal taxes, add another 3-6% state income taxes.
You know what? I'm glad I could do that. It wasn't a burden or a theft, it was my goddamned responsibility!
How's this for an idea? If paying taxes at whatever rate is such a burden, why don't you take all that money you're keeping and go buy an island. Set up your own utilities, security, build your own house, roads and whatever else you need. Don't have the skills to do that? No problem! Most of us 99%r's can do that shit in our sleep and still have the energy to play a game of softball after a 16hr day. Oh, by the way that $20-30 an hour salary? Kiss that shit goodbye. It'll be no less than $150/hr plus travel and living expenses. That will include liquor, drugs,entertainment and any other shit we can think up. REMINDER: Many of us have seen those bullshit expense reports submitted by these "Captains of Industry". Just try and justify that $600 for nine holes as a legitimate business expense. Not gonna fly with me and I figure the rest of the country.
