BREAKING!! Romney to Release Tax Return From 2011

[jhale667]

Talkin bout the peeps around here.

And it's an accurate assessment.

[jhale667]

You guys sound like the birthers on Obama's birth certificate. LOL! The problem is because Romney is white I can't call you all racists.

Stupid analogy. The birther issue is entirely manufactured, whereas Romney really IS cheating on his taxes.

All I can say is take the rhetoric and the criticism with a grain of salt. Don't blindly fall party lines. Do your own research on each candidate and really the best research is talking to someone who actually knows these people. If they have been a governor of a state then ask several people who lived in the state when that person ran it. What's funny about Obama. I couldn't find anyone that knew anything about the guy. With Bill Clinton I asked people who lived in Arkansas. With Bush I asked people who lived in Texas. With Mitt I know people who have worked for him, gone to church with him, worked with him during the olympics, and had him as their governor. So I probably know more about him than any candidate. All I know about Obama is his record of fours years as president.

How has he cheated on his taxes? Be specific. I just hear people complain he should pay more. I know people who defer their taxes so they don't have to pay them. They hire hot shot tax attorneys who only handle a few tax clients and they take it right to the wire. They defer the taxes until the person dies. That's the racket. Mitt could have pulled that one but didn't. He paid his tax and with the tax code, get ten accountants get ten different opinions.

Wasn't trying to stick up for Mitt. Just pointing out and kinda venting that Harry Reid is a dickhead and probably just as crooked as any of them. Fucking hate politicians more & more every day. I even stopped watching any news a few months ago. So tired of it all. Watched all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad instead. (and Futurama)

Maybe they hate white people? Racists hate white people. Or maybe they just hate Mormons? I kinda do. Pisses me off how they are always happy with life. They need to be miserable like the rest of us.

I just heard that about 2/3 of that tax record he just released was details of all the money he stashed offshore. While this may be technically legal, (due to bought off shills in Congress changing laws) it's still cheating. And it's killing this country only slightly less than all the jobs he's outsourced. Both are examples of billions of dollars that Mittens and his fellow criminal 1%'ers have literally stolen from the US economy.

True. The ONLY reason to stash boatloads of cash offshore is to avoid paying taxes.

When you have 500 million dollars in the bank, why the fuck do you need to worry abouy paying taxes? The interest income alone at 3% is 1.5 million a year. Even paying 30% of that in taxes, you will still be left with 1.05 million......and that is not even touching the original 500 mill......

Who the fuck would be unable to pay their bills with 1.05 million bucks a year?

Mittens has not one fucking reason to stash his money overseas.

[jhale667]

Mittens has not one fucking reason to stash his money overseas.

Just one, actually... GREED.

[Dr. Love]

It's greed that makes a person want to keep their own money? And here I thought I wanted to lower my tax burden because I felt like I had a right to keep money that I worked my ass off to earn.

Guess I'm just greedy!

[Seshmeister]

Greed is by nature all about scale and amounts.

I'm willing to take a mad guess that you don't have $300 000 000 stashed away.

From your posts I also don't think you the kind of person that spends their time at a $50 000 a seat dinner complaining about the poor.

[Hardrock69]

Well, yes, Jay. Even though he has so much money, he could pay whatever taxes he needs to pay, and his GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN would still have enough cash to live out their days in royal splendor.

So it is greed, pure and simple. Well, and fear of being a "po' folks". He would rather die than even live as a middle-class human.

Democrats hate capitalism, the free market economy, and especially that someone else has more than them. Yet I'll bet all these fucking hypocrites take every income tax deduction they are entitled to by law....just like Mitt Romney.

[Dr. Love]

I ain't voting for Romney and I think he is a douche, but I find it hard to fault anyone for wanting to keep their own money rather than give it to the government. If I had 300 million dollars I'd still do everything I legally could to minimize my tax burden ... Just like everyone else does.

It sure is easy to say that it's greed when it's not your money.

[DLR Bridge]

Democrats hate...that someone else has more than them.

Absolute horse shit.
