It's amazing the things that politicians will say when they think they are among friends and they are unaware that a camera is rolling.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Lets not forget that as a multi millionaire who was by his own admission born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Mit Romney paid just 14.1% tax in 2011.

I'm sure most of the super rich around the tables in the video will have similar arrangements but I do wonder how much tax the average Republican voter would pay.

Whatever the figure, just imagine the look of indignant disgust on Romney's face should they have the audacity to expect an education for their kids or emergency medical treatment without being frisked for a credit card in return for their tax dollars.

BTW, I still like the

Ken,

 

I very much distrust the words "percent and taxes" in the same sentence when it comes to the very rich of any political persuasion.

 

In the US common people think of "taxes" as "income taxes" when reported in lump sums. It is entirely possible 15% (of any particular number) could be the "sales tax" on the purchase of a lovely Cayman Island. Very few - if any - pay 15% tax on current income.

 

The "very rich" probably do their share in one way or another regardless of politics. It's just that most do it "their way" without government oversite. A lot more efficient really. That's assuming it is truely benevolent.

 

The problem children are the "wantabe" nearly rich. Just not enough "chill dope" to go around in this world I guess.

BTW, you've misspelled that word. The "very rich" word now starts with a "b" - not an "m". Forbes 400 has over 100 "b's" now I believe(?).
