Cornholio libel! The benevolent Cornholio would never be so rude.

Which is to say, he didn't think it was improper. Someone should do a documentary about this weasel.

You say condescending asshole, I say condescending asshole.

It's a lot like "tomato, to-mah-to," only you pronounce it "asshole" and "ahhs-hole"

Personally, I'm surprised Multiple-Choice Mitt didn't say "Sure I'll answer that question, Candy. Soon as I finish eating this watermelon."

Until you need the money. Then it's taxed as ordinary income, because you're not in the 1% who deserve the break.

Mitt thinks people inherit their jobs. (To be fair, it's true, among his friends.)

True, and taxed as ordinary income, rather than at the for-most-earners more favorable cap gains rate.

"he said he would eliminate cap gains, dividend, and interest tax on those making less than $200,000."

Probably by not taxing cap gains, dividends, and interest until they reach $200,000 (each).

If the phone company had not grown so bloated and lazy from collecting $1.50/month for a coily handset cord, it might have had the foresight to think that someday someone might want to send moving pictures and data down its wonderful, highly reliable, world-wide network of wires. Had they been that smart, there'd be no Cox Cable or AT&T Cellular (the twin worst companies on earth) and we'd all be much happier.

Sure they do! In their 401(k)s and IRAs! Where they're not taxed anyway!

Remember how Ann responded to questions about tax returns. "You people..."
