again, his tax rate is based on his investment income, he doesn't have earned income, he's paying the same rate as other Americans with investment income..if I am wrong please tell me but this doesn't seem complicated...
I think if I were Romney, I'd release the total $$$ figure for Federal Taxes that I'd paid during my working years and up through present, I imagine that's quite a tidy sum... and then ask if I'd paid "my fair share" and helped fund the Federal Government and all of its programs to an acceptable level through working my fair share of hours, creating my fair share of jobs, investing in my fair share of businesses and reinvesting my fair share of what was left after paying my fair share into the economy to create businesses and jobs and then ask the other candidates if their record of investment in America, in other Americans and the economy can compare.....
Haven't heard anyone say what he's done illegally or unethically regarding his income or taxes or buisness ventures but for some reason he's guilty for being successful...I can't think of any major(or minor) scandals while he was governor or at any of the various ventures that he's been part of which all seem to have been highly successful....
also....he should release the total $$$ amount in charitable donations that he's been fortunate to be able to make during the same period as a result of his success
and then challenge the other candidates and the current occupant to show us how they've contributed to the same, how much...and how much as a result of private sector work and your own money vs. the perks of winning an election...I guess if it comes down to hiring someone that is going to invest your money wisely and make good decisions with it for the next 4 years...Mitt looks pretty attractive versus the others
Obama can't even produce a budget on time and thanks to the senate dems we haven't had one in a very long time
