- We now know that Mitt paid about 14% on his 2010 income of $21.7 million. If Mitt had instead paid 30% (i.e., about $6½ million), how many jobs would would have been lost? Put differently, how many additional jobs did Mitt create because he paid about $3 million in income tax rather than $6½ million?
- If a 30% income tax on the rich is a job-killing figure, then how in the world did our economy grow at all from World War II through the 1970s, when tax rates on high-income Americans were much higher?
- Why do you and other Republicans keep repeating this same damnable lie? Do you think, "It worked for Hitler, so it'll work for us"?
Got a year of essays on the One Year Bible, a few articles on fatherhood, home improvement, management, recipes.

Yeah right Newt
Newt, you say that a 30% income tax rate on the highest earning Americans would destroy jobs.
I have three questions for you.
Can you stop being republican? Is being democratic the only alternative? What other choices are there in the US?
