The more I think about Rmoney's attack on the 47% who pay no federal income tax,

the angrier I get.

How dare a man who probably spends 10 times the average American's income to hire a firm of CPAs to ensure he takes advantage of every single credit and deduction and ends up paying only a 13% tax rate, criticize the millions of poorer Americans who take advantage of credits and deductions to pay no federal income tax!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Try 20 to 30 times greater than the average income and that is a low estimate. gordianot Sep 2012 #1
