Exactly what I've been wanting to see.

It makes me NUTSO, when people like Mittens and the Repukes, toss out the broad and sweeping "they paid NO taxes"...Hell, even when I wasn't working (or hardly working), I was paying "taxes" all over the place...payroll taxes, sales taxes, taxes on all my gas, water, electric, phone taxes, gasoline taxes, vehicle licensing taxes, property taxes...

So Mittens...don't try to push this bull that we get/got off completely "tax" free.
