Looking at an interview with Joe Walsh. He says that Republicans actually want a ZERO % tax on capital gains. In other words, he would be fine with Mitt Romney paying 0 tax on that 41m if that's what it came down to.
He said that the money that Romney earned has already been taxed in other ways before Romney received it, so why should it be taxed again. He said that people like Romney who earn over 1 million dollars create jobs, and create opportunities and if these people are not taxed the US would see a rebound in job creation and it would benefit the Middle Class. He said this is why the GOP rejected the 0.5% surcharge put forward by Obama to pay for his Jobs Act. He went onto say that he expects further gridlock in 2012 and the GOP is looking to the elections for the people to decide. Basically this GOP is prepared to run things into the ground for a year in the hope that the economy fails, in order to win the elections. Heedless of the immense ripple effect what is happening in the US is having on markets internationally, not just in the US.
