Yes, because that's precisely what it is. What's really funny is we're talking about a guy who paid over a million dollars in income taxes and donated something like $4 million to charity in one year as if he's a hair's breadth away from being one of the moochers all because of some stupid thing Newt Gingrich said, showing just how far removed from reality political discussions tend to become. |
And Romney is the one who called him on it. This entire discussion is going crazy. The only said answer the GOP has is to figure out where they can cut taxes even more. The idea also is to make the budget deficit so bad that there will be forced cuts the body politic is opposed to. And then you now add the 47% on top of this, and it is just a mess here. Not paying income taxes is now being defined as "being a moocher". More people DID pay taxes in the past, but they kept reducing the tax rate and knocking people off, in order to lower taxes on the higher end. It is now, seriously, the GOP is complaining not enough people are paying taxes.
