At 20 seconds into the video, he admits wealthy people like himself (the so-called job creators) already pay low tax rates as it is and this doesn't even include all their deductions and loopholes. So why the hell haven't more jobs been created since the Bush tax cuts and why the fuck does he want to lower their taxes even more?
20 seconds in....
People are gonna make a big deal about his statement that his 14% tax rate is fair while the middle class pays much higher rates. But what's even more revealing is that he essentially admits that the wealthy already pay low tax rates as it is.

In a big, stinking pile of mess.

Romney thinks he's double-taxed,
once as a corporation is people at 35% and then as a people is people at 14%
enough
