I would be fine taxing them at the same rate as everybody else, just as long as you got rid of all the loop holes that reduce that down to pretty much 1%. But how much he paid isn't really relevant, whether or not he paid everything he was supposed to is the real question.
All they have been doing is locking threads that are having conversations identical or similar to ones that have been occurring in the mega-threads, including ones that are anti-Romney, pro-Obama.
Or ones that have absolutely 0 intellectual merit in the conversations.
Yes, clearly the OP was trying to brainwash people.Or, get THIS: threads about romney and obama belong in there respective threads, yet this crap is posted again and again in an obvious attempt to brainwash people.

Lol, I am shocked! You think the anti-romney threads have good conversation, while the anti-obama ones do not! Weird! Isn't that just strange?
I could make a post right now that was incredibly well written pointing out flaws in obama; it would be locked within the hour. Told to post in the campaign thread.
"A fact (derived from the Latin factum, see below) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is whether it can be proven to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable experiments."
It is something that really occurred, and is actually the case. What I said is a verifiable FACT.
Then post in the campaign threads. You're honestly making an issue where there is one in order to play the victim card. You've done it with every single one of your posts in this thread. Its shit like this that gets threads locked.
You disagree with the OP? With people in the thread? Then have actual intellectual responses to them as to why you disagree and your logic behind disagreeing. Don't just start crying.
Except it's your spin on the facts, not the facts themselves. Kind of similar to how Romney keeps claiming Obama stole 700+ billion from Medicare. Its true, but its a blatantly disingenuous spin on the facts.It is something that really occurred, and is actually the case. What I said is a verifiable FACT.

Ironic. Taxes start at 34% here. And if you earn more than 75000 a year its pretty much 51% of it going to the gov.
Why am I paying more out of my paycheck than Romney? He's a gajillionaire...
I'm insulting you? I said to stop playing the victim card and crying and make legitimate, intellectual discussions. If you take that as an insult, that's your prerogative for that one. Im done responding to you and your crying, though.
Oh...and for an anti-Obama thread that wasn't closed within an hour? Here you go.

You are paying more out of your paycheck than Romney? 13% of a gajillion dollars is more than your ~50k a year job? Got it.
The moral of the story is, if people have millions of dollars sitting around, and they are taxed at an unfair rate, they can afford to leave the country and pay none; taking jobs with them. UAE anybody?

Percentages, my friend. Percentages are all that matter. And I am confident in arguing that the vast majority of the middle class paid a higher percentage of taxes than Romney did by just assumption.You are paying more out of your paycheck than Romney? 13% of a gajillion dollars is more than your ~50k a year job? Got it.
Why would they lock something against romney? They clearly have an agenda here as well-or perhaps all the mods are just asleep :P
Sad how one side can only make constant attack threads, and not even post in the designated area. Oh well, why not try to brainwash more people.

Maybe they should learn how to do there taxes better if they want to complain about it? It is a free country.
I would think Romney was an idiot (Actually, I do anyway, but moreso) if he did NOT take advantage any loopholes he could to make money. That was his freaking job.
Why is everyone making this about how much he paid? Why isn't this about honesty, integrity, and whether or not he paid what he is required to by law? Seems like the later is the more important question.
