The biggest crock of sh&t I have heard for a while

..Just checked the Daily rundown and heard Kay Baily Hutchinsane say "Seniors are finding it very difficult when they have to pay capital gains tax "Can't make ends meet" What bullshit.
Does she think everyone is stupid..For those Seniors that are paying those taxes are voting for Rmoney anyway..

If they are paying capital gains taxes, it means they have investments.

They are not living month to month on Social Security. Those folks are the ones have difficulty making ends meet.

Good Grief!

I thought the same thing too. If they're paying capital gains taxes they aren't doing too badly. Wasn't Romney's tax rate so low because he pays the low capital gains (investment) rate? I guess she's like Romney and all the other repugs who think they can lie and pull the wool over peoples' eyes by throwing out terms that they think people don't understand.
