Actually it wasn't free at all. See the government had to, you know, pay for that food.

How do they pay you might ask? Why by collecting taxes. And Romney pays taxes. So one could argue he bought his own meal.

This is what liberals never understand. NOTHING that comes from the government is free. Someone always has to pay for it.

The phrase "there's no such thing as a free lunch" certainly applies here.....

Spending time alone with Barack Obama is indeed a heavy price....

Well if we are going to get technicall then it would be more accurate to say that Romney paid for 13% of his meal since he only pays 13% in taxes and the rest of us paid 35% for his meal.

Really? Everyone else in the country pays 35% in income taxes?

And who paid for the mysterious other 52% of the meal?

I'd say it's a very, very safe bet your effective tax rate is not 35%. So no, you didn't.

You could also say he paid for 13% of Obama's meal as well. That was nice of him.

Or we could just agree that nothing is free and firm's post, at its core, was just really stupid.

I'm willing to agree on that if you are willing to agree that rich people like Romney typically pay less in tax percentage than most middle class americans.

Everyone that makes their income based on capital gains instead of getting a paycheck pays a lower percentage than most middle class Americans. It's not unique to "the rich."

If tomorrow you opened a trading account, traded stocks for a living and took your gains as income, at the end of the year you'd pay exactly the same % Romney did before deductions.

There's technical and there's accuracy. Romneys taxes would have psid for for more meals than he could eat in a lifetime. So who is eating the ones he ain't?

I am curious how many times Obama said "Proceed Governor" during the conversation.
