His income was not over 1 year. It was due to capital gains invested over a much longer period of time.
Sorry, but I call bullshit. Do you even know how Mitt makes his money? He does what's called debt financing. He buys companies for 16 times less than the worth, leaving the rest to buy the company with the company, called a leverage buyout. Next he fires a shitload of employees. The ones left working get a massive pay cut. He then buys up other companies using company debt he just bought. All the while he fools investors who aren't his friends. Finally he declares bankruptcy for the company. Then you know what? He acts like he lost money too! Since there's a hiearchy who gets money first, he claims even more fucking money! Now I'm supposed to feel pity for him and champion he pays less in taxes? I'm all for capitalism, but what he does is beyond evil and makes my libertarian philosophy look bad. If he wasn't able to treat companies like people and took personal responsibility, he would have to, heaven forbid, work for his money like I do. What he does is cheating. He leaves the mountains of debt left for other people to pay. People like me, if I were stupid enough to invest in Bain Capital and keep the ones he purchases in their name.
