> [@Hamlet](#): > > So, to your mind, if you can find one example of a good tax rate, that must mean that all tax rates are good. Obviously not. The idea is, any rich person who does not support a tax policy that increases his tax burden, is morally unfit to be President. Unfortunately, since Obama (who is very rich) supports this tax credit, which does not increase his tax burden, it follows that Obama is morally unfit to be President. QED. Actually we all know IOKIADDI, but moral consistency is not the strong suit of the SDMB. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > Yes, it is morally wrong to donate money to charity, you are as astute as always.

I think that is pretty silly, but I am arguing with liberals… Regards, Shodan --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/romney-and-taxes-morally-unfit-to-be-president/610492)._
