This is a fun debate to watch! Quite entertaining on both sides.

This is horrific.

I'm loving the expressions that Biden is making. There are some quality memes there.

Where will the extra money come from???? Sir Gatewood of Galbraith had a suggestion but he was laughed off as a buffoon.

I want Romney's accountant. (14% Fed. Income tax rate is sweet.)

 

More than the vast majority of tax payers....so what is sweet about it?

 

And it does not take a super accountant. Romney's income is mainly capital gains. The current rate is 15% for capital gains. They still get a few deductions and whala - 14%. The math is easy.

Looks like Martha is doing a great job of repaying Obama for being part of her wedding.

Flotsam = working slob. Very little income taxed at the capital gain rate. Most shekels earned taxed as ordinary income.

"Why don't we leave now?" - Pyramid cheekbones has some great ones.

Hey man, he got her a toaster. She owes him.

I haven't been to Afghanistan but I have been to Bromley.

And at the federal rate those skekels that should be well less than 14%. You have to get into AMT territory ($150K+) to get into an effective rate of 15%.

Wish Mike Leake would stand in for Ryan.

Will Ryan ever answer a question? Somebody give him some more water. The old guy is putting it on Ryan.

The marginal tax rate of a married couple filing jointly who earn 150k is 28%.

The marginal tax rate of a married couple filing jointly bumps up to 25% at 70,701.

I wish we could outsource the managing of the Reds.
