That would be the middle class or "those with limited financial means"

The hedge funds paid big money to lobbyists to write the tax code in their favor, so I don't blame Romney for taking advantage of that. But he's not risking anymore than the average worker that...

Sad but true and we wonder why our education system is so screwed up.

TYLERTECHSAS, that is a very weak counter-argument my friend. Just admit that it is wrong for a private equity or hedge fund manager to receive preferential treatment in the tax code. If we had a...

I disagree, I think the amount of government services someone uses would be more subjective than ones income or tax rate based on ones income.

Your right I am jealous, Romney has that Mormon-polygamy thing going for him.

Seriously though, don't assume that I want anyone to pay the gift tax. It is wrong for someone to get preferential...

My sentiments exactly

Romney's tax rate 13.7%. Does our tax system favor the wealthy?

I agree, that a person's family background should not be a deciding factor. But the class warfare will be pushed by the Democrats this fall and they will paint Romney as a priviledged job-killer.
