I'd bet money none of these articles mention the fact that he already paid taxes on those dividends at the corporate level before paying at the personal level.Originally posted by davbrucasI want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

Just now I was watching the Emmy's and Kimmel asked who in the audience was going to vote for Romney and the place erupted. The next few weeks are going to be interesting because anyone who has been paying attention knows that Romney is going to make Obama look like a fool in the debates. Meanwhile, Ryan is going to crucify Biden, right there on stage for the world to see.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

I just posted this on my FB, figured I'd share it with the class.
Just trying to put this in perspective. My math should be correct, too. lol
SO, all you Romney haters, are you happy that he finally released his tax statements for the past 2 years? NO?? Still hung up on that idea that the rich don't pay as much (percentage wise) in taxes as middle/lower class Americans do? Then let me explain it to you in a way you can understand. In 2011, Mitt Romney earned approximately $14 Million Dollars. He DONATED approximately $4 MILLION of those $14 Million Dollars to CHARITY. At the end of the year, he PAID approximately $2 MILLION DOLLARS in TAXES. Let me break that down in simple terms for you. For every $7 Dollars---$7 dollars he earned in 2011, he GAVE $2 of them to CHARITY, and gave $1 to the government as taxes. If a middle/lower class American making $35,000 a year did this exact same thing, they would have to give $10,000 to CHARITY and PAY $5,000 in TAXES. How many Americans making only $35,000 a year do YOU know of who have had to PAY TAXES at the end of the year, much less have to PAY $5,000?? Not many have to PAY, the MAJORITY get a nice little REFUND CHECK after filing, or don't have to pay anything at all, thanks to all the "TAX BREAKS" the middle/lower class get. It would take OVER 57 YEARS for someone making $35,000 a year to EVEN BRING HOME the same amount of money Mitt Romney PAID in Taxes in 2011. Let that sink in for a few minutes, and tell me if you still think the "Rich People" don't pay their fair share."We, the people, are the rightful masters of both congress and the courts - not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the constitution." Abraham Lincoln
