You people are idiots. He already paid 50% in taxes on that money when he earned it NOW he pays a double tax at 15% (wow thats really fair stupid ass tax lovers) on the interest he earns. Stop hating rich guys who WORKED and made their own cash freaking crybabys. Get a fucking job and grow up. This is America and crybabys can go to France or fuck off!
@777geeza What exactly can Obama rip Romney apart on? He certainly cant talk about Romney's healthcare plan in Massachusetts considering Obama, Pelosi, and most of the other democrats pretty much rammed Obamacare down our throats. At least when Romney passed his healthcare plan, it passed with bipartisan support in Massachusetts.
@DillonDee1 Who cares? As long a his money was made legitimately. I'm much more concerned with what they are doing with OUR money in Washington, not their own personal money.
MITT IS A LIAR! We need to stop lying behind the cross, using churches to hide behind, using smoke tactics for evading truth! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL!
Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China. I will work with Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!
@HenryDavidT i dont get what youre saying. What does slavery have anything to do with paying 15% for investment taxes? So you're saying just because they earn millions of dollars from investments, they should pay more taxes? Investment taxes are flat rate taxes, it doesn't matter who earns how much, they all pay 15%.
So I don't get whats so "ethically" wrong about paying 15% for investment taxes.
How about the middle class pays 15%? Why's our tax system set up for the rich? Why do millionaires only pay into Social Security on 106k of their earnings? Why are those corporate shills allowed the Double Irish / Dutch Sandwich tax system? The IRS cut a secret pact with those multonational shills. Where's my secret pact? And why does Rom-O-bone hav millions socked away in the Cayman's, that's tax haven city? Yur why this country's busted. And u wanna rob Social Security? Ha! Entitlement this !
15% is even a bad tip at a good restaurant. He needs to show the last 5 years tax returns and pay taxes on his millions shipped offshore to the Cayman Islands and never run for president, again. This is a disgrace.
@tehdouglas1 I'm not exactly a Romney fan, but when's the last time we elected a poor President? When's the last time a poor Congressman and especially a poor Senator was elected to office? There are some members of Congress even more wealthy than Romney, so I don't understand your position regarding his wealth. Fact of the matter is, there are no poor people on Capitol Hill or in the White House.
@josephc28 which congressperson has more money than Romney?
just in terms of the people's perceptions, there may be a point where someone is too rich to run for POTUS. Unless they can show themselves as especially magnanimous and generoous in spirit, which he demonstrates the opposite of. Also his voice shaking and stammering answering these questions is noticed on a gut level by anyone. That you'd make such a generalistic argument is suspect to me, you don't get it? REALLY?
@jancivil Many of the members of Congress are multimillionaires, and some of the wealthiest are democrats. You want some names. How about Jay Rockefeller? John Kerry? Diane Feinstein? Nancy Pelosi? Herb Kohl? Ever heard of Kohl's department stores? He also owns the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team. These are just a few of the wealthiest democrats in Congress. No, my argument about Romney's wealth is quite valid. Most of the millionaires in Washington were there long before Romney was even heard of.

People arent bitching b/c Mitt is a millionaire but b/c he pays a lower tax rate than most in the middle class!
