Not sure who said it, but this sums it up the best, "Apparently, I'm supposed to be more outraged by what Mitt Romney does with his money than by what Barack Obama does with mine."

You can find out what Obama does with your money - just look it up! But you don't know what Romney has done with his!

reply
Rock to Morning... 2012/08/05 18:21:32

You missed the point! I could care less what those two knuckleheads do with their own money, I care what they do with mine! At this point, Obama is the one squandering all of our money with his failed policies.

Anybody happen to remember Obama saying he was going to cut the national debt in half? If he could do that tomorrow, that would get us back to just under where it was when he took over. Just one of many empty promises.

Do most of you like facts or do you just go by emotion? How about this, I don't think Romney is the answer, but Obama clearly isn't the answer.

And it's nobody's business what Mitt Romney has done with his money.

Just like his buddy CEO of GE, on the Jobs board, who also shipped thousands of jobs overseas?

Now you got it , Maybe now you can see all of them ?What one is any better then the other ? We have no real choice . You either vote for the NWO leader of this country or you vote for the NWO leader of this country , your choice .

should have explained that the ceo of GE is one of Obama's big supporters..

Would that be enough to answer the allegations and demonstrate good faith?

No. We want him to release returns back past 2010.

Having lost the respect and trust of the people, I suspect that all politicians are going to learn to be a lot more honest and open if they want the public to vote for them.

After all, they are supposed to serve us - not the other way round.

I believe he is stonewalling, thinking that something else will happen to divert the voters attention away from this issue..

It is an old tactic for sure.

reply
Peewee to Mopeder 2012/08/05 17:05:57

If he's elected, he will have to disclose them. What's the big deal? Debbie Wasserman Schultz also has lots of tax shelters overseas... When you do your taxes don't you use every little loophole you can to bring down your tax bill? You're stupid not to.

No, the voters have a right to see them now.

Agreed, he should have done it long ago.

Do it Romney - Do it!

☆astac☆ to JMCC 2012/08/05 16:56:00

Yes, that is the legal requirement. And do you think if he went more than 10 years or so without paying taxes, the IRS would not have been after him already

reply
JMCC to ☆astac☆ 2012/08/05 17:11:41

Yes indeed.

Yet I believe the allegation is that he avoided tax legally and the question is, is it moral or patriotic that someone who has earned as much as has to pay little or no tax?

It used to be that people where only to happy to voluntarily reinvest in the country that protected them and theirs whilst providing the opportunity to acquire and amass their wealth....

Now - not so much.

reply
☆astac☆ to JMCC 2012/08/05 17:14:45

But he has saved quite a few jobs, Staples comes to mind. He invested in his company which tried to save companies from going under. Seems he had like an 80% success rate. So if it was legal, well then he is not at fault

reply
JMCC to ☆astac☆ 2012/08/05 17:37:33

I am afraid that might be his record as portrayed through rosy coloured lenses.

He was also a corporate raider; He bought profitable companies that were undervalued, laid of the employees closed the business and stripped and sold the assets for a profit.

You can't swim with the sharks in Wall Street and make money unless you too are a shark...

reply
☆astac☆ to JMCC 2012/08/05 17:44:02

I tend to agree. But I would say what he has done is a lot better than what obama has done.

reply
JMCC to ☆astac☆ 2012/08/05 17:51:45

We have a right wing government that has carried out policies much as Mitt Romney proposes, and our decline into a double dip recession accelerated. Our economy declined 0.7% in the last quarter and is now the worst recession we have had in over 100 years.

In a consumer economy when the consumers are starved of cash, the whole thing implodes. How quickly that happens depends on how much you (as a government) are prepared to spend or invest.

reply
☆astac☆ to JMCC 2012/08/05 17:55:22

Actually the present government is left because of obama and the Senate. It has been leftist policies that have stymied any recovery. Government spending is not the answer

JMCC to ☆astac☆ 2012/08/05 17:57:49 (edited)

I am in the UK not the US,,, :)

David Cameron i(our PM) s a Conservative and right wing.

And you are right spending is not the answer, it just delays the inevitable.

Not so much because what's taken by the government is wasted. I resent every tax dollar I have to give up that isn't going to essential services like highway and fire/police protection.

Agreed and there is no worst waste than the backhanders and lavish spending between lobbyists and politicians.

Mitt and Ann Romney have released their complete 2010 tax return and an estimate of their 2011 return. They say (A full copy of their final 2011 return will be made public as soon as it is filed in the upcoming weeks).
