1. So Romney's base of supporters are tax cheats?

3. They're just "lucky duckies"

and "takers", vs. the "makers" (the mythical job creator class that republicans worship). The real kicker is that many making outrageous amounts of money like Romney aren't even working much at that point. It's usually capital gains through investments, which is taxed much lower than actual earned income. The likely result is this guy will get little more than 47% of the vote.

Of course, this 47% Romney is mentioning is usually playing by the rules Congress set up - and a significant % of their income goes toward state sales, income, gas, and other taxes. They aren't taking advantage of some arcane loopholes like those at the very top. Most people in the US pay a higher income tax rate than Romney. What a scumbag. I can't believe these guys find worse candidates every successive election.

It turns out the murderer is calling from INSIDE THE HOUSE!
