I will be voting for Obama. I pay fed. income taxes.

If the implication of Romney's grotesque, insulting statements is that Obama supporters are all on the public dole (not that there's anything wrong with taking benefits you need which are offered for you by the govt.). But they are not. I pay plenty in income taxes. In fact, I pay a HIGHER PERCENTAGE in federal income taxes than Romney does.

As the saying goes, I'm no senator's son.

except that most years it was just one State. Audited 3 times before I was 30 and I'd like to see Willard's tax forms for at least 7 years.

And 3.5% to my state. I am not on any "dole". I don't mind paying income tax. I'm voting for Obama.
