Republican big lie: 2011: Mitt Romney gave away 53% of his income: A month ago it was only 20% of his TAXABLE income

Romney “Donates” a lot of money to the Mormon church.  It’s called “Tithing.” Romney gave away approximately 20% of his reportable income, leaving him with a measly $16,000,000.00 EACH YEAR to live off of.

Imagine how rich you’d think you were if you won a $16 million lottery jackpot.  That’s what Romney has to live off of every year — another $16 million comes to him each year — and that’s AFTER he gives away $4 million.  That’s how much he has left over after donating $4 million.

Romney isn’t “Generous,” he’s rich.  He could give away $8 million a year, or even $12 million a year and that would still leave him with $8 million to $12 million MORE than he had the previous year….

NOTE:  If you did win a $16 million lottery jackpot here in America, you’d have to pay income taxes at the maximum rate:  More than TWICE the tax that Romney paid.  So actually Romney takes in a great deal more money EACH YEAR than you would if you won a $16 million lottery jackpot EACH YEAR.

      …and he does so AFTER donate millions to the Mormon church.
