**** Isn't it amazing that Republican candidate Mitt Romney is in the 15% tax bracket?Romney doesn't seem to get how that appears very unfair considering he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
HuffingtonPost:
....In Greenville, S.C., Romney was asked directly what his effective tax rate is. It was a hot topic of discussion at Monday night's debate, at which Romney repeatedly declined to fully commit to release his tax returns.
"It's probably closer to the 15 percent rate than anything," said Romney on Tuesday. "For the past 10 years, my income comes overwhelmingly from investments made in the past, rather than ordinary income or earned annual income. I got a little bit of income from my book, but I gave that all away. Then, I get speakers fees from time to time, but not very much."
Not very much? According to his personal financial disclosure, from February 2010 to February 2011, Romney earned $374,327.62 in speaking fees. A few months later, Romney joked that he was "unemployed."
Romney's not very much of $374,327.62 in speaking fees is huge. Does he realize that most people are not making $374,327.62 in a year? That is probably pocket money in Romney's world. Romney's famous line that "...corporations are people..." shows you that he is completely out of touch with the lives of average Americans. Seeing as how Romney justified his "...corporations are people..." comment, what other objects will Romney try to claim as people? Sidewalks? Shoes? Country clubs?
