Reid just can't let it go and doubles down on Romney tax charge!

Quietman ~PWCM~JLA 2012/08/02 20:35:11

On Wednesday, Reid stuck to his story, and broadened it.


"I am not basing this on some figment of my imagination," Reid said in a telephone call with Nevada reporters. "I have had a number of people tell me that."


Asked to elaborate on his sources, Reid declined. "No, that's the best you're going to get from me."


"I don't think the burden should be on me," Reid said. "The burden should be on him. He's the one I've alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didn't he release his tax returns?"


A Romney spokesman said Reid's charge was baseless and below the belt.


"This is further proof that the president's campaign is willing to say whatever it takes to distract from his economic record, no matter how baseless, unfounded or demonstrably false their attacks are," spokesman Mason Harrison said. "President (Barack) Obama condemned these kinds of negative attacks in 2008, but like many of the promises he made back then, they have turned out to be just more words."

    Facts----Timothy Geithner, Obama's pick for Treasury Secretary. Geithner failed to pay
    34,000 in taxes on his income from the International monetary Fund. He tried to
    pass it off as an innocent mistake because of the way the IMF pays. That would
    have been a good excuse, had he not testified in front of congress in 1998,
    explaining the complicated circumstances
    Rep Hilda Solis. Obama's pick for Labor Secretary, owed state on local taxes
    on their auto business. Additional tax cheats picked by Obama include Kathleen
    Sebelius, Nancy Killefer, Capricia Marshall, and others. And it's not just
    cabinet officers who owe back taxes. In the White House staff, there are 41 who
    owe a total of over 831,0000 dollars Now add to the list other democrat
    politicians who are tax cheats, like Charles Rangel and Al Franken, who had to
    be taken to court in New York State in order to get him to pay up. Sherrod
    Brown, the big tax lover failed to pay his property taxes 3 years in a row and
    the property he owned was actually listedup for the Sheriff's Auction.
    Then there's Media Matters who has a 501(C)(3)
    tax exempt status. As such they are not allowed to provide the DNC or WH with
    coordination, but they do. They won't lose their tax exempt status until 2013,

    when our corrupt president and the head of the DOJ are nothing but a very bad
    memory
    Obama likes to talk about people paying their fair share, but shouldn't we
    make the democrats pay their current taxes before we raise anyone else's?
    Also the champion of high inheritance taxes, Teddy Kennedy, didnt have to
    worry about the taxes himself as the family trust is in Fiji, where Poppa Joe
    put it when FDR informed him the tax structure would change. The tax started in
    1916 and only applied to assets that were liquidated. FDR changed that to all
    assets with a few deductions
    Warren Buffet, Obama's favorite billionaire
    and the man who cries that he pays a lower percentage than his secretary.
    Perhaps he would be paying more than her if he paid the 1.05 billion
    billion is not an error he owes through his Berkshire Hathaway
    investment fund

    Don't cha just love it! All this would make for a great rebuttal commercial...why don't they use this stuff? It's madding that the dems can spout such accusations yet their house is filled with tax cheats. And the sheeple keep on-a-chewing-their-cud. I hope you don't mind if I steal your most excellent summary for my next encounter with a sheeple spouting this tax-evasion crap.

    Do we really think this guy Reid ,who appears to be in the beginning phases of dementia, is competent to be making laws for this country? Really? This is the level of maturity we have to witness? Really Reid? Actually, several people I know told be about his dementia problem...

    Reid, you're giving Biden a run for his money. I've never seen a couple of bigger dolts!

    Reid really needs to be unemployed. I mean he really, really needs to be unemployed.

    Hopefully, the IRS got this one correct.

    Obama has locked up every document representing milestones in his life and none of that concerns Reid. Really Sad.

    No one can say that Reid isn't good when it comes to spin. He's practically perfected the art of making accusations without proof and putting it on the accused to prove him wrong.

    Why didn't he release them ? What is he another Obama ? Replace one ass with another ? Whats the point ? Hmm he wants to keep tax cuts for the rich outsourcing and expects the people of this country to protect them as they outsource the work to the commies and charge the middle $2000 more a year , pss let the commies protect the rich they mean nothing to me . They are on their own in this country just as the American worker is . You built it you run it you profit from it you protect it .

    Most members of Congress keep their tax returns secret

    http://www.mcclatchydc.com/20...

    " WASHINGTON — Rep. Nancy Pelosi was emphatic. Mitt Romney’s refusal to release more than two years of his personal tax returns, she said, makes him unfit to win confirmation as a member of the president’s Cabinet, let alone to hold the high office himself.

    Sen. Harry Reid went farther: Romney’s refusal to make public more of his tax records makes him unfit to be a dogcatcher.

    They do not, however, think that standard of transparency should apply to them. The two Democratic leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives are among hundreds of senators and representatives from both parties who refused to release their tax records. Just 17 out of the 535 members of Congress released their most recent tax forms or provided some similar documentation of their tax liabilities in response to requests from McClatchy over the last three months."

    Obama travels with the Press Corps. Romney will not. Won't even talk to those assigned to him. Very secretive man. Where is his birth certificate? Where are his grades from Harvard?
