re: #408 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

If it’s true that he pays 15% or less annually, then he’s fucked.

The real news down the line, assuming he gets the nomination, is that he’s on record stating that the capital gains tax rate should be zero. Mitt is for lowering his own tax obligation to zero while advocating war with Iran. He also thinks Obama should have kept in Iraq, how he doesn’t say. As President, Romney will be willing to get soldiers killed as long as the burden of paying for it largely falls on others, who don’t make their money through investments.

The fact that Republicans who purport to champion the value of work, actually applaud the idea that members of the upper class, born wealthy, should be able to live their entire lives without having to pay any federal taxes on their investment income is simply amazing.
