davjohns 1 #27 September 24, 2012 And that's HIS fault...why? He did not create the federal tax system. To my knowledge, he has never contributed to changing the federal tax system one way or the other. As far as I have seen or heard, he obeys the rules and pays what he is required to...and recently, more. If you disagree with the tax system, fine. Why attack a taxpayer who is paying more than everyone on this forum combined? How is it his fault that he doesn't pay as much as you want him to? I see no logic in this whole chain of discussion. I'm not necessarily a fan or detractor of Romney. I just notice that his detractors have to work very hard, squint through one eye, start out with a bias and create facts to find something to complain about.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO, at minimum any tax should be flat, and preferably progressive.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,132 #32 September 24, 2012 >IMO, at minimum any tax should be flat, and preferably progressive. ?? Sales tax is flat, and is regressive by definition; it hits low income people harder and results in a greater percentage of their income being taxed.

Bertt 0 #34 September 24, 2012 This discussion might be premature. He could file an amended return and take those other deductions after interest in his tax rate declines.You don't have to outrun the bear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.” That sounds like he is admitting he is unqualified to be President to me.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airdvr 210 #37 September 25, 2012 What I find most amusing is everyone here thinks the Romney's prepare their own taxes. I can see it now...George and Ann at the kitchen table with their shoebox full of receipts...Please don't dent the planet.
