Well we know Romney doesn't know anything about taxes because he doesn't have to pay them.

Obama - releases birth certificate due to Republican demand

Romney - won't even release his tax returns

The numbers are somewhat correct, but at the same time, misleading.

The numbers are not a comparative, but a contrast. For example:

If I made 47,000, the chart says that under Obama, I save $1625 under Obama, and an increase of $431 under Romney.

If the chart was made the same in comparison - and not a contrast - it would look like this. I save $1625 under Obama, and save $1194 under Romney.

So the chart is pretty much correct. It just makes Romney look....bad, or...well.....less....good.

Romney is only interested in the rich making sure they don't pay anymore taxes than they have to since Romney is filthy rich and have lost touch with the middle class. The taxes will have to come from somewhere and it will be on the backs of the middle class. Yeah, Romney, what the hell are you hiding by not releasing your tax returns for at least the last 7 years? Besides hoof-in-mouth desease with the latest referring to Paul Ryan as President, this guy is really scary.

I'm not american, but being in the financial service and also basing common sense: Obama tax policies are much better for ordinary american individual and business for today and for future also.

Can anyone tell me where they found the information about Romney wanting to raise taxes on anyone let alone the middle class?

[pj8guy]

Romney wants to become president to protect billionaires like himself! He said himself he will not take care of the poor!
