Lord and Lady Rmoney pay 13% and they think it's fair...

[cynatnite]

Seriously? They have the nerve to say that considering the rest of us are paying 20-30%?

They say they will only release 2 years and they've only handed out 1 year. Lady Rmoney does a shitty job playing victim when she says they will not release any more.

Oh, and Lord Rmoney says we're small minded for thinking that they should do what ALL other nominees have done in releasing their taxes.

They see all of us as serfs...not citizens.

1. Show the returns Mitt,

small minds want to know !

[Dawson Leery]

2. "Lord and Lady Romney"....

[lob1]

3. Most people give 15% for a tip.

[sofa king]

4. That's just this weekend's lie.

I don't know about you folks, but this past year has taught me that whatever Romney is saying at the moment is simply the most expedient untruth he can afford to tell.

So they'll hide behind this lie as long as they can, then tell another. But the walls are closing in....

[democrat_patriot]

5. Have you SEEN? have you SEEN how they are attacked?

We are lucky they grace us with 1/2 a year as it is.

It is surely not proper to ask for more.

I will now bow and scrape to the door.

[K8-EEE]

6. No they think it's 13% too much!

Remember all this time he has been yammering on and on about "high taxes!" He wants a free lunch (for millionaires at least.)

[get the red out]

7. IF they actually pay 13%

They won't show the proof, so how do we know?

[kestrel91316]

8. "We are clever and figured out how to pay only 13%, so we DESERVE to pay less.......

in fact, we are SO clever that we deserve to only pay 1%."

"Unlike you Little People, who deserve to pay 50% for your lack of cleverness."

[demosincebirth]

9. Show me your taxes!!

[unblock]

10. they pay 13% only on the amount they report. or maybe the amount they report after deductions.

they pay a big fat ZERO percent on the income from their overstuffed "retirement accounts".

and they pay a big fat ZERO percent on the income from all the money parked overseas.

[chelsea0011]

11. Actually, they don't believe 13% is fair. They want it lower.

[Mariana]

12. Correct. nt.

[hunter]

13. Romney ought to be paying 39% at least.

And that's me being reasonable.

In my utopia the obscenely wealthy class is taxed out of existence.

[Snarkoleptic]

14. Notice how they didn't say what sort of taxes or where they're paid?

Wonder if they had their accountants hash up the number to include...
State taxes
Sales taxes
Property taxes
Registration fees
Filing fees
Taxes and fees paid to foreign governments

Also, did he overpay and receive a refund? I paid xx% (before I got most of it back)

Release the taxes and we'll know how much in federal taxes were paid as a percentage of adjusted gross income.

Lastly, he wants a pat on the back for paying 14%?!?! I'd give my left nut to pay that little!

[taught_me_patience]

15. I paid 20% in income tax alone last year

and expect to pay more this year. Fuck this tool.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

16. I agree 100% that 13% at their income level is not enough

I don't agree that the rest of us are paying 20%-30%. Some are certainly, but not most.

[aquart]

17. No. They think it's outrageous. That's why they want to change the laws so they pay nothing.

It is their belief they owe this country NOTHING.
