Percentages of Income/Taxes in Mitt Romney's perfect world:
$20k-$80k = 50%
$80k-$200k = 35%
$200k-$500k = 25%
$500k-$1m = 10%
$1m and more = 0%

"If we had a democracy no one would even vote for this guy." - Cenk Uygur. Brilliant.

The real fact of the matter is that people need to stop seeing it as a tax cut. A tax cut implies that the government is entitled to our money. when will people realize that everyone should get a tax cut and our government should spend and handout less.

See, this is why are parents should stop telling us that someday we could grow up to be president. It encourages people who REALLY should not have the job.

I love what you do Cenk. I wish I was more optimistic about the future.

Tax raises on the middle class? Impending war with Iran? If Romney wins this election I am getting the fuck out of this country.

[jayskilliano]

This is why they call him "Tricky Mitt!"

in a world of crazies, the lone sane man will be labeled crazy

Steven Harper is 1000X the conservative than Romney, due to the fact that he actually HANDLES the economy.

[ReliableInsider]

Why is Romney threatening to raise taxes on middle-class families when we're still in a recession?

[TheTaskmaster]

it also keeps the poor poor and the rich rich

[juaxox]

Because he makes MORE money, "more" is the key word man.
it wouldn't affect him as much as someone that earns less money.

[MrLaeddis]

WOWWW! Under 200k?? That's like everyone I know. Unbelievable. Lower taxes for people who don't need lower taxes, sounds great right? Absolutely unbelievable.

[taxiuniversum]

Yea, thats sounds about right.
I heard that tin foil hats help. ;D

Imagine if some methhead held up 3200 people at the ATM, demanding they withdraw $500.

[teklesundbergdeservedthedi]

please no!!!! Canada respectfully refuses.

[KingWithoutaCause]

Because the majority of Americans are much too focused on "Keeping up with the Kardashians". They don't have time for all this presidential nonsense.

[wwickeddogg]

Rich people are just better than us and we should give them all of our money.

The USSR had nothing to do with socialism. Read Chomsky's "The Soviet Union vs. Socialism".

[lordblazer]

well 15% of 750 million is more money than 30% of 40k.. but that's still a HIGHER rate the person making 40k is paying. That's a regressive tax rate. It does put the burden on that guy making 40k more than the dude making 750 mill.
