Mitt Romney Would Pay 0.82 Percent in Taxes Under Paul Ryan's Plan
http://j.mp/SaqwQk (Atlantic)
"Under Paul Ryan's plan, Mitt Romney wouldn't pay any taxes for the
next ten years -- or any of the years after that. Now, do I know that
that's true. Yes, I'm certain. Well, maybe not quite nothing. In 2010
-- the only year we have seen a full return from him -- Romney would
have paid an effective tax rate of around 0.82 percent under the Ryan
plan, rather than the 13.9 percent he actually did. How would someone
with more than $21 million in taxable income pay so little? Well, the
vast majority of Romney's income came from capital gains, interest,
and dividends. And Ryan wants to eliminate all taxes on capital gains,
interest and dividends."
