Taxes

Got my tax bill today. I'm paying a higher rate than Mitt Romney. I've decided I'm not in favor of "lower taxes" or "higher taxes." I'm in favor of making the tax code simpler and more just (in the common sense of the term). Because no one can honestly say that Mitt Romney should be paying a lower rate on his investments than I pay on my income. Especially because in theory - my work (screenwriting) - could lead to jobs (production jobs) - if done correctly. Certainly more American blue collar, middle class jobs, than whatever Mitt Romney's dividend payments lead to. Find me an economist who sells it otherwise and I'll show you a bullshitter.
