And please, mmmbeer (and any of his would-be defenders) do be aware that the question on the table is not whether payroll taxes should be counted as taxes. The question on the table is:
When I write
Septimus:
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)
Is it rational, or even sober, to respond with
mmmbeer:
See where it says EACH according to his mean? 20%…If you were get out your dictionary, you would find that EACH means everybody!
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.
