I know that I am not the only low income American out there. I also know that I am not the "representative" of such, but I would like to respond to the allegations of class warfare, and the idea that those of us who have very little are jealous of Mitt Romney.
First of all asking that all people pay a fair tax is not class warfare, it is simply a request that those who make money contribute to the country that they live in. If you look at Mitt as compared to me, he has not worked in ten years and stores large sums of money overseas. I spend all of my money in this country. Mitt has been known to insinuate that the poor are lazy parasites who do nothing for our economy, this is not true: people who receive assistance from social programs, don't have tax shelters, they spend all of their money in the sate where they live, they pay taxes toward Social Security also, which is more than we can say for Mitt.
So, no Mitt we don't give a flying fuck how much money you make, it's how little you contribute to the nation you profess to love that matters to us.
Mitt Romney made over 20 million dollars, and yes he paid a small amount in taxes, but he did not work for that money, it was interest from investments. He hid that money away in foreign bank accounts, and lived and thrived in a country that he does not contribute his fair share to.
This country is not a business, do we really want a man who will treat parts of this country as if they were failing companies. A lot of what is involved in running a country does not make profit, most of what we do is investing in the future of the American people. You can't just shut down schools and hospitals because they are not making congressmen wealthy. Mitt keeps claiming that we don't know how the economy works, well he does not know how a government works, and because of this he is the biggest threat to this nation.
