Post #322 Fair!?!

Fair? Romney's tax returns show extent, complexity of wealth | http://ajc.com - http://shar.es/fWiux

Yes, look, Mitt Romney paid all his taxes and gave a lot to charity -- unlike, say, Donald Trump. My question is, will Romney now advocate everyone who can afford it to pay income tax at an equal rate?

We should all be treated equally under the law. How is taking from some -- the middle -- but not from others -- the rich -- to pay for something everyone receives equal? The only fair way to collect taxes is to make everyone who can afford it pay an equal rate.

Note that I am not including the poor because I am a decent human being with compassion for those less fortunate than I am. You?

The shame of America is not that we are letting 47% of Americans get away with not paying federal income tax; the shame of America is that we have 47% of Americans who cannot afford to pay federal income tax.

Yes, l am aware of the 'confusion' about the numbering of the Posts, but it seems like too much trouble to fix.
