Rec if you pay a higher effective tax rate than Mitt Romney

[abelenkpe]

48. We paid over 30 percent

We are both lucky enough to have well paying jobs, and don't own a home.

Who knows what Mitt paid? I find it ironic he would accuse anyone of not paying paying their fair share in taxes when his whole desire to become president is designed to make sure Mitt Romney pays less in taxes. The same Mitt Romney who has not released his tax returns and has previously boasted of paying nothing.

Anyway, among the people I know his statement seems completely false. The Obama voters I know are all successful people making good money paying their own way supporting families and paying taxes while those who voted for McCain and will vote for Romney collect some form of assistance: unemployment, food stamps, welfare, disability, social security and are so overwhelmed with bigotry and misinformation that they vote against their own self interest. The teaparty and republicans I know honestly believe that only liberals live off assistance and never see their own use of such programs as proof otherwise. They truly believe that cutting those programs means cutting those programs for everyone but themselves. They are that deluded.
