Mitt Romney: It's fair I pay a lower tax rate than people making $50,000

36. You need to stop projecting.

"Using two different calculations to compare rates is intellectually dishonest. You may be comfortable with that kind of dishonesty, but I'm not. "

And you're doing it every other word.

"You're calculating Romney's rate based only on federal income tax paid, then the $50,000 earner's rate based on federal income paid, employee Social Security and Medicare tax paid, employer Social Security and Medicare tax paid, and state income tax paid."

And you're calculating Romney's rate based on his capital gains (and whatever else is included in that "effective rate&quot , which has a different rate than actual income and a different calculation, then dismissing everyone elses tax basis.

"It obviously isn't an issue of you not understanding, it's just an issue of you choosing to spread false information, which is, of course, your right. "

Then you're being condescending and dismissive of the facts.
