Good heavens no. Wealth is the American dream. I am so sick of the whiners complaining about the fact that the man has money. Good for him. Hmmm...it would be my guess this prez isn't having pork and beans for dinner tonight. Get over it.

Senator John Kerry D-MA is worth $260 Million. Where's the outrage over that? RFK JR got $1.4 BILLION US tax dollars for his failing "green energy" company. Where's the outrage over that?

This is just the Left trying anything they can to deflect the voters from the real problems the Economy and Unemployment and Obamacare.

They don't want those things talked about ,.,they want to try to destroy Romney with stupid suggestions. I guess they think voters are stupid and will buy that nonsense!

Just for making money by sending jobs out of country or killing jobs for Americans.

reply
Mike to LOU 2012/07/10 06:07:49

Just a question: Did you know that most wealthy people in the US are responsible for the maintenance of about 37% of our jobs?

LOU to Mike 2012/07/10 12:41:43

I tell you what Buddy......You just drop to you knees and keep sucking on that big stick of the rich. You DA! Do you think for one second any rich person would not send a job over seas to make more money? Why do you think this country is in the state it is in? Bush built Dubai as a tax shelter for him and his buddies. There has been no time in history when so much money left the US and so little came back. If you actually worked for a living you might think differently. Go be a body guard for the wealthy for a while. It will open your eyes.

How about Obama letting the illegal aliens in this country stay? They take jobs from Americans .

When your check does not cover your bills then YOU can thank a Republican.
When you lose your job YOU can thank a Republican.
When your neighborhood is full of Mexicans you can thank a Republican.

ladyjane to LOU 2012/07/10 17:25:04

What does Mitt Romney have to do with me paying my bills? Why would you say that everything that going wrong in this country is the fault of the Republicans? The Democrats have had control of the Congress for how long?

reply
LOU to ladyjane 2012/07/11 04:41:03

Never said a thing about Romney. Never said that the Democrats were not part responsible but don't ever forget the republicans were in control for eight years. Bush was warned at the begining of his second term that he was going in the wrong direction and that the country was broke. He simply just told the country to keep running on credit. He built Dubai for us to marvel at but we will never be able to afford a trip there. His rich friend sure love us and Romeny to because it is the single greatest tax shelter in American history with our tax dollars........you can thank Bush!

I think we all want to be wealthy. I think Obama should apologize for making it harder for the rest of us to become wealthy. Obama needs us hyponitsed and poor so that we have to depend on the benevolent democrat for our existence

If the President apologizes about his wealth, maybe Gov. should consider it.

But I do think he should explain why he chooses to not invest in America, but instead in offshore bank accounts. Wealth isn't evil, it usually isn't evil. But there are some practices used to get there that I very much disagree with.

reply
Lisa to Digman14 2012/07/10 05:14:39

He paid all the taxes, what business is it of yours where he puts his money?

reply
Digman14 to Lisa 2012/07/10 18:33:06

Because he's likely putting it places to avoid taxes.

reply
Lisa to Digman14 2012/07/11 01:22:58

Listen so what .. Obama won't show his college records, every other president has .. Obama is probably setting up offshore accounts right now to avoid taxes.. I would too. And you would too. Even if he did or didn't, it doesn't matter and makes no difference at all about what kind of a President he would be.. You Libs just use this for deflection. To make people hate rich people. If we didn't have rich people we would have no economy at all. Wake up!

Then why do liberals always complain about the rich? Hypocrisy, anyone?

reply
Lisa to Christo... 2012/07/11 01:26:13

Absolutely, Liberals are the most hypocritical people on the planet. Like Mayor Bloomberg, who put a tax on sugar sodas in New York, but he himself drives a big gashog SUV to his events. You see it is bad for us but well when it comes to them the rules do not apply!

that's not the point I was making and you know it. You are being deliberately obtuse. Oprah would not have to run, she could just buy the Presidency.

He doesn't need to apologize for being wealthy. But he can apologize for putting most of his money in off shore banks and not paying his taxes. He can apologize to all the people he laid off when Bain closed all those companies. yeah. He can apologize for some of the stupid things he's said during this campaign season. Yeah......But not for being wealthy.

Why should he apologize for what he does with his own money.

reply
lcky9 to sugee 2012/07/10 03:25:18

well than we would have to have all the politicians apologize for saying DUMB stuff during their campaigns and we really don't have that kind of time..and should he apologize for the people HE DIDN'T lay off cause he saved their jobs and didn't close down the WHOLE company?? When a company has money problems the FIRST thing they do is lay off workers.. NO SHAME in it.. and IF he has to apologize for putting his money in off shore accounts MORE than a few of our elected politicians had better start apologizing..

Izariel to sugee 2012/07/10 05:02:08

He has released his tax returns and they show that he did in fact pay all his taxes, not like tax cheat Timothy Geithner, the Treasury Secretary lol.
