For the average American making $40k per year, being taxed at 28%, to match what Romney paid –at 15%–in one year of taxes, it would take them about 400 years to accomplish. The average guy making $40k is paying roughly $8-10k in taxes per annum. If he/she calls the police or fire department once, the gov’t will likely lose money on him. Romney is paying roughly $3 million per annum, which in turn finances all of the federal horseshit people clamor for. The tax rate, in many respects, is irrelevant–actual dollars is what’s important.
Do the math.

Do the math on what he kept. The avg guy won’t make that in this lifetime and the next.
a 13.9% tax rate with a swiss bank account ain’t gonna fly in the election … stick a fork in him .. finished
get ready for the lincoln-douglas debates that the Newt wants so badly with Obama … he better be careful for what he wishes for
Now I see why you believe in buried spaceships and shit. You’re a fucking retard.
you can do better than that … come on, don’t hold back !
Buried spaceships, live aliens, and an Obama-Libertarian political ethos.
Which is the oddest?

The average American making 40K a year is paying little to no taxes, whatsoever. 28%? That is ridiculous.
people from top to bottom are cheating on their taxes … it’s the american way
if you’re rich, well connected, knowledgeable in such matters, you can ‘cheat’ legally .. your high paid lawyers & accountants have to earn their keep
Um, no, let’s try again, mathlete.
If you manage to build wealth while dealing with the disincentivizing “progressive” INCOME tax, then you only have to pay 15% on any increase in that AFTER TAX WEALTH.
It should be zero percent and you should get a thank you card from the U.S. economy for every year you put AFTER TAX assets at RISK for the betterment of society.
There’s a lot of things libs get wrong, but one of the most egregious is whiffing completely on the concept of risk… they just don’t get it.
Fly — I agree, and actually just made a similar comment on the original Mitt tax release post.
