The middle class and other working people pay taxes on wages earned. Wages earned is only one source of income. Middle class and others who have their nest eggs invested do not pay the same rate of taxation on their investment earnings as they do on wages earned.
Romney like anybody who does not work for wages earned pay the going tax rate for the various investment schemes available to all folks.
Romney like all the others in his tier of income do pay a very hefty tax bill as Romney has done.
The media and mud slingers will not attempt to clarify for we the people the differences in tax rates. They will continue to play on the uninformed and those who only parrot what the media peddles.
I guess some would say do the math...35% on $50-75,000 or 15% on multi millions. And the fair share is what?
More power to those who earned it and pay their taxes. If we would recall there were and are several in the current administration guilty of evading/not paying. These are the folks who are making sure we the people do what is required...perfect role models for go ahead and see if you can get away with it.
DOn't we all go through preparing our taxes each year doing our best to see what we can qualify for to not have to pay any more than we have to....millionaires do exactly the same. It starts with looking in the mirror and not casting a stone at others.
