Romney only pays at a 15% tax rate...wtf

I wish we had a flat tax. The Dems will never let it happen. A flat tax is fair by its very definition. Everybody pays the same damn percentage. You make 100 grand, you pay 17 grand. You make 100 mill, you pay 17 mill. But the libs want to solve the world's problems with your money.

Romney is the posterboy for why we need tax law changes. Why blame him for taking advantage of what's available to him. It's like blaming someone for waiting an extra month for a stock to go long and get the reduced % taxation.

In other words, if Romney is a president, tax loopholes are not likely to change. So the guy that runs for a president uses the same loopholes that people say are wrong and should be prohibited? I'd be fine if some CEO or private investor did that but not the future president of US. Romney takes money from american families for personal gain.

This could be a Romney moment if he'd grab it and run with it.

Unfortunately...discussions of removing capital gains altogether has been discussed, so his personel income hit wouldn't be impacted.

All profit/income/dividends/etc.... flat tax.

    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers
    • How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.
    • I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
