Jennifer Granholm says Romney has been profiting from taking advantage of the government’s “free stuff” – the same free stuff he has been condemning the government for providing to people. Under Romney, Bain companies and executives took advantage of borrowing and tax breaks, and spun those benefits into profits in the form of dividends. “Guess what the tax rate they had to pay on that unearned income was? A lot less than yours,” says Granholm. “You guessed it: 15 percent. Thank you for all that extra ‘free stuff’ from the U.S. government’s tax code.”
