Liberals keep saying the rich should pay more...but liberal rich NEVER do...Romney did - congrats to him?

Some liberals are like monkeys, monkey see monkey do, when Obama says the rich should pay their fair share of taxes, liberals don't have a clue what a fair share is, If Obama was telling the middle class that they should pay their fair share of taxes, they would demand to know what a fair share is and anything more then they are paying now would be to much, If Obama gets re-elected The middle class will have to pay their fair share too, With a debt over 16 trillion and Obama wants to keep big government, Then the only way to keep our Country from going bankrupt, The middle class will end up paying Much more then they ever thought, When Obama says pay your fair share, It means what ever it takes to keep our Country from going bankrupt, Our Government will take what ever it needs, The middle class will go bankrupt before our Government will.

Romney only paid more because his tax rate would have only been 9%. So, he didn't deduct part of a deduction so his rate would be over 13%. He had promised never to pay less than 13%.

"I don't pay more (taxes) than are legally due and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president. I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires." Mitt Romney

My husband and I paid 18%.Your personal effective tax rate is calculated by dividing your total tax paid by your taxable income

Liberals do not say this. The Liberal Party is a centre-right party, and is closer in philosophy to the Conservative Party than they are to the socialist parties of Labour or New Democrat.

At least in Commonwealth countries. We have Liberal Parties. You don't.

I do not think you really know what "Liberalism" means. You use the term incorrectly, and in doing so, portray yourself as ignorant and unread. Perhaps you should actually read what liberalism means, and what Liberal Parties do in countries that actually have them.

Romney is too nice a guy to say he's paid more in taxes in one year than 50% of those in this country will ever pay.

He didn't want his effective tax rate to be 9 % . He will file an amended return after he loses the election and get the money back . He's pretty good at bouncing back in time and clearing up the paperwork after he gets caught in lies , SEC 2002 , Mass. elections commission .

Without seeing an itemized list of deductions, I would assume he gave a considerable amount to the Mormon church. The fact that he can write that kind of thing off as a "charitable" donation is a travesty.

Obama paid a higher tax rate after donating a higher percentage of his income to charity. Go back under your bridge, troll.

"0bama said the rich should pay more...yet, he didn't!"

42% of the Obama's income went to taxes and charity.

I pay a higher tax rate than romney and I ACTUALLY WORK.

You submissive repubs think regular working people don't deserve his low tax rates. It's pathetic.

And to those of you that pay a lower rate than his, HE INSULTED YOU FOR NOT PAYING ENOUGH!!!!!

Yet you defend him.

When will republicans stand up for their own pride and the value of earning an honest wage.

hey all you progressives, we are taxed on income not capital gains they are taxed at different rate. Apples to oranges.
