Also in one of the republican debates when Gingrich said he wanted to make the tax rate on capital gains 0% to which Mitt respnoded saying if that were true hed pay 0% taxes, which means........he currently pays 0% or little INCOME TAXES. Which is exactly the people he cant convince to take control of their lives or personal responsibility. Interesting.

How do you figure that? The rate on capital gains isn't currently 0%, except in the case of long term investments for people in the very lowest tax bracket. Otherwise you're paying anywhere from 10-35% on cap gains.

In case you're confused, the cap gains tax is an income tax. It's just taxed at a different rate.

Im not confused at all. Romney is saying poor people who receive assistance fromt he government and end up paying no income tax after deductions are freeloaders who dont take responsibility for their lives. He used a blanket term saying "47% pay no income tax" then lumped all those people into the aforementioned categories of not taking responisbility for their lives.

 

So what Im saying is, these people obviously dont have capital gains which are taxed, cause theyre poor right? So in essence if it werent for Romneys cap gains, which he admitted in the debate are his entirety of taxes, hed pay no other federal taxes after deductions.

So the only reason Romney pays taxes are because his wealth of money, is making him more money. If it werent for that hed pay no other taxes.
