Joe Walsh on MSNBC says he's for a 0 percent Capital Gains tax

What an ass.

1. Said Mitt Romney should pay no taxes instead of 13.9%.

DERP.

[montanacowboy]

2. Did he ever pay all his back child support?

never did hear what happened there
I am sure he got away with it like all Repukes do

[sinkingfeeling]

3. Guess he supports Newt then. Gingrich's plan would have Romney pay zero

on the vast majority of his 'income'.

4. How about a counter proposal of 50%

and settle somewhere in the middle?

[provis99]

6. how about a counter proposal of 190%

and we settle somewhere in the middle? Much more to my liking, and compromise is a good thing, afterall.

8. Would You Approve Those Rates...

...for retirees who live on pensions who also pay the 15%. Careful with wielding those broad brushes...

[provis99]

10. if a retiree is making $21 million a year, hell yes!

Romney is nearly a senior citizen. So your belief he should be taxed at 15% is repulsive.

11. I'm Talking Pensioners...People On Limited And Fixed Incomes.

I'm on record here for wanting to have a graduated captial gains rate...15% or even less for those who earn $100k a year or less...and then upwards to 20% at 250k, 25% at 500k and 30% or higher for those with 1 million or more a year in adjusted income. So under my Mittens would pay a lot more than he is right now while those on with fixed incomes wouldn't suffer...

5. But yea, investing is much more valuable than work....

I had this same kind of argument when I became a tax preparer back in 1986.

I argued with the partners in the CPA firm I worked with saying that money is money.

They countered back with the risk factor and I said well the sky is the limit for gains so why should they be awarded more for potentially getting more...

7. The man is a cretin.

I'm going to be so happy to have the opportunity to vote against him this November.

9. The Same Here...

Here's hoping Tammy Duckworth gets the pleasure to mop up the floor with him...

Cheers...
