Filed my income tax return today.

[TeePee4Prez]

My federal income tax percentage is still higher than Mitt Romney's. Great job capitulating on the fiscal cliff, you stupid Democrats.

I would conclude mine is as well. I haven't finished all the details, but I had to do enough to fill out FAFSA for two kids this year. The impact of my wife taking on extra contract work to pay for the college generates a lot of tax. Right now it looks like I'll pay just under 17% of my adjusted gross income as tax. Almost a quarter of that is self-employment tax.

SE taxes are a highly regressive bitch aren't they?

But the sad thing is even if you ignore the payroll taxes, which Romney doesn't even pay, and I have plenty that I or my employer pay, I paid a higher percentage of just federal income taxes than Romney.

Don't worry, Memphis.  The Baby Boomers may be too selfish to pay taxes at a higher than 0% rate, but they are also selflessly willing to make sure we aren't left with a mountain of debt by making themselves the last to collect Medicare and Social Security benefits before repealing the program completely.

1. Romney never released much tax info so it's a hard comparison to make.
2. I doubt very much you paid >10% in income taxes. Not a large percent of people do.
