What is mittens hiding? No taxes paid, maybe not. Very low tax rates? Likely. Not really a resident of MA as required by the MA constitution? Probably. Retroactive retirement? Really?
He has as much as $100 million in an IRA. If we did that, we’d be breaking the law; it’s unclear how Romney did it since it’s in the “lost years” of his tax returns. But the rich get different rules. He also has $100 million tax free account for his kids. Again, if you or I did that, we’d be breaking the estate tax law. But I guess when you’re rich enough, you get your own rules. He got to deduct $77,000 from his wife’s pet horse’s food and medicine as a “business” expense. I don’t get to deduct pet expenses, I’m not rich enough.
We need someone in the White House willing to end these abuses, not someone who takes advantage of every loophole.
Mitt took $1.5 billion from the US taxpayers to save the Salt Lake City Olympics….. We learn now… “We are running out of ways to not get Mitt Romney’s emails. Just as his emails from his years as Massachusetts governor have disappeared — his staff removed the messages from the server — the emails from the years he spent running the Salt Lake City Olympics appear to be lost, too. Archival records of the inner workings of the games were donated to the University of Utah, but emails, calendars, contracts, and financial documents were not included, ABC News reports. The school’s library says that leaving that stuff out of the archives was a decision made by Olympic officials.” …………… http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/07/no-ones-going-read-mitt-romneys-olympics-emails/54886/
It’s sure a lot easier to delete emails than to delete 18 (?) minutes from an audio tape. It seems to be a proclivity of politicians to “lose” emails, and not just Romney.
The word you are looking for is “privilege”. I’m not big on Latin but I read somewhere that it splits into “privus” and “legis” (or similar), so it actually means “private law” or “law for the rich and powerful”. And a nation like the U.S. should not have such a thing…
Only liberals care about this phony tax return issue and they weren’t about to vote for President Romney anyway. The rest of us are voting against Lord Ears.
Every thing about Harry Reid creeps me out. He is the antithesis of every thing wrong with Washington. Maybe enough Mexicans could move into Arizona and declare it part of Mexico and we would be rid of him, since Arizonans keep re -electing him.

So says someone who used birther innuendo in his trolling.

Mittens is really doing a lot to quench that little fire, isn’t he?

How hard would you try to quench a false accusation?

Since you feel you merit an answer, go ask the IRS. I’m sure they’ll bow to your credentials.

Arizona?? Where you dig that up? Why do you think Arizonans vote in Nevada? Is that a new republican thing?
