024 income tax code - editorialpinups

Mitt Romney gets blasted for paying 15% of his income in income taxes. All he did is what he had learned in school, follow the rules, fill out the forms and hand it in. Just like we all try to do.  Until Mitt Romney gets elected, do not blame him for what you may see as a perceived injustice.  It is the clowns that have been in office all of this time that have created this situation.  By the way, why an income tax?  We used to live on excise taxes as a country?
