As an outside observer ... Nate Send a noteboard - 19/09/2012 01:28:13 AM
... I'm kind of curious why he hasn't just released everything. Not doing so suggests that there's something in there that his campaign feels would be more damaging than the unproven perception that he's hiding something. I mean, I dunno, but after all the fuss, why wouldn't he just release them? It's strange enough to make me mildly curious, anyway.

Payroll taxes are for Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid Dark Knight - 18/09/2012 07:11:57 PM 666 Views
I think the reasoning is that since they go to entitlement programs, it's not entirely a tax. Tom - 18/09/2012 10:55:12 PM 652 Views
Does that mean the correct number is that 27.6%? Legolas - 18/09/2012 07:17:46 PM 691 Views
That is correct - some folks have such negative income taxes, it offsets payroll as well. Anonymous2000 - 19/09/2012 05:28:07 AM 702 Views
