This is why he only paid 14% income rate.. Meanwhile your average working middle class stiff pays between 25-28% of their income in taxes.

Do I think Romney should pay more taxes? No.. But why is it himself and the rich pay so much smaller share of their income to taxes vs the average American. The point being everything is stacked in favor of the super wealthy with the rules against the middle working class when it comes to taxes.

We will never hear about Republicans promising to lower middle class taxes to 14% now will we. When they love to chap on about lowering taxes it's never the middle class that catches that break, it's always big business & super wealthy all under the promise of creating "MORE" jobs..

Humm how many jobs do you think would get created if the middle class suddenly had 10-15% more spending income? Considering the middle class is the largest consumer pool in this country, I'd say a hell of a lot.
