47% plus 1

(talking to an empty chair)

Show us your income tax returns Mitt. I have a hunch you paid taxes the last two years only because you were running for President? What did you pay the previous ten years? Are you actually one of those in the 47% that paid nothing?

Or are we supposed to just trust you? Don't you think that is asking a little too much?

I would say that you have a lot of gall bringing up people that don't pay income taxes. For someone to make millions of dollars in this country and then take that money to the Caymans, Jamaica, or Luxembourg, simply to escape paying taxes, is rather unpatriotic, wouldn't you say?
I would say it should disqualify you from being President of the United States.

Also, I don't think it speaks very highly of the leader of a political Party that would simply sit back and say nothing as his Party attempted to keep people from voting, as is being done in several states. If you don't stand for people exercising their right to vote, what do you stand for?

But that is just my opinion.
