Sorry, I'm not married, have no kids, and the only deduction I really have is my house. Therefore, while I am in the 28% bracket, my actual rate is closer to 22-23 percent (about 20 percent when I get my refund.) But when you add on the 7.65 percent both I and my employer pay to SS/Medicare (negligible at Romney's income) then we're talking closer to the 30-35 percent range.

Believe me, I'd love to live off of interest and dividend income, and I'm not begrudging the fact Romney can and still pays a great deal more in taxes than I.

So you make over $150,000/year, don’t give any money to charity, and don’t put away any money into tax deferred retirement accounts? Really?

What a waste. It’s hard for me to believe that anyone would pay you that kind of money, when you can’t even manage it wisely.
