We want the tax returns ! We want to know what you are hiding....Obama released his, think he'll give Romney a pass during the general ?
I lived in abject poverty most of my life, and never took a penny in welfare. Through hard work, suffering and determination, I was able to prosper in what remains of the free country God has blessed us with. I make over $100k, AND CONSIDER MYSELF VERY WEALTHY as I have no needs, and few wants. I also have an effective tax rate of 16% this year. Nothing grinds the face of the working poor more than this kind of statement from folks like Romney. Those without the restraining and forgiving spirit of the Lord learn to hate enough to become communists.
$375K "Not very much"....FUMR, you are not one of the people !!!
Even though Mr. Romney obviously really does consider $374,000 per year to be "not very much", such income would be an absolute fortune for the majority of people.
It would have shown some class on his part to have chosen a different way to describe his income from speaking engagement. However, I doubt he even knew he was saying anything that might be considered controversial. To me, he has always seemed VERY out of touch with lives and concerns of 'regular folks'.
