One other thing Tony...the tax rate you are quoting for Romney is the money he makes on Capital gains.

A LOT of people make money on capital gains. Including retirees, etc.

Are you suggesting that the capital gains tax should be raised to make sure that people like "mittens" will have to pay more taxes?

And if so...why? Why would you or any sane person ever want anybody else to have to pay more taxes? Especially capital gains taxes?

That really would put a big slam on what's left of the economy. The govt. already taxes the fuck out of your savings. So nobody does that anymore.
Once they tax the hell out of investments...that too will go down the tube.

Talk about the end of the middle class. When all investment leaves the U.S. for greener pastures that would pretty much do it.
