I just googled "Mr. 14%" and "Mr. 14 percent". Did I get Mitt Romney's website as a google hit? No, I did not.
I want you to do something for me just because I am an old-time lurker:
1. Copy the following phrase: "Mitt Romney Mr. 14%"
2. Paste this phrase into your web browser and search it.
Do it now. Make sure to include the whole phrase: Mitt Romney Mr. 14%. Done? OK, go back and start reading other more intelligent and useful diaries than this one.
14%--of course--is Mitt Romney's federal tax rate. I pay a higher tax rate than Mitt and I don't have an elevator for my car. Nor does my wife own two Cadillacs. It is excusable ignorance to think, "Yeah, dude, one for each of her houses". Actually, they own six. Including two ski chalets. Here's a guy that hides his income in the Cayman Islands and he wants to be my President? So, I'm a little cranky filling out my 1040. 14%. How much is your tax rate on April 15?
If you google "santorum", you get something that requires Purell and lots of Kleenex.
Mitt deserves no less from us. In this spirit, I vote "Mr. 14%" as an excellent internet descriptor for Mitt Romney. Let's go for it.
