Is there anything wrong with "class warfare"?

Recall that Romney paid more than he was obligated to just to get his tax up to 13%. And that’s just on AGI, and doesn’t include appreciation in his Sep-IRA fund which has magically accumulated $20 to $100 million despite the small cap on contributions.

13% is an interesting tax rate – it’s about what the working class pays just for their federal payroll taxes even with the temporary 2% stimulus cut, and even when their income tax is zero.

If you think the Marxists with pitchforks are going to get Romney’s tax rate anywhere near 40%, I’ll ask what you’ve been smoking! Would 25% be “class warfare”? How about 28%?

What is class warfare is to call the push for increasing taxes on the rich “class warfare” while insisting that the working class, who already pay a higher rate than Romney when payroll (and employer-provided) taxes are included, should pay yet even more so they have “skin in the game.”

Right now, Romney and lowest-wage workers pay about the same, about 13% each. Do I understand that you want to drop Romney’s rate to 10% while increasing the rate on lowest-wage workers (payroll tax plus income tax) to 23% ?

To use a phrase taken from my comrades to the left, From each according to his means…75,000 income gives 15,000 and 75,000,000 gives 15,000,000. See, each gives according to his means? 20%

See where it says EACH according to his mean? 20%…If you were get out your dictionary, you would find that EACH means everybody!
20% for everyone, where the hell do you get that I want to drop Romney’s rate to 10% and raise the lowest-wage workers to 23%
20% for everyone means if Romney is someone, his rate would be 20% and if the lowest-wage worker is someone, guess what his rate would be? 20% Is that clear enough for you?

My proposal for 10% was guess what? 10% for everyone. I was commenting back to the person who suggested 20% for WHO???, understand yet??, yeah, EVERYONE.
Do I have to spell out again that means for Romney AND the lowest-wage workers? Jesus, Joseph, and Mary.
