   The Romney Taxes thing seems to have been forgotten, they aren’t bringing it up anymore.

   Bloomberg broke the story late Sunday night, with a story published around 11pm Central Time which gives an in-depth explanation of Romney’s legal tax evasion since 1996. His tax avoidance was completely legal, although most hardworking Americans might question its ethical qualities. As President Obama said in the second debate, the GOP candidate paid less money in taxes than people earning less than $30,000 per year. How can that happen? Well, up until 1997, if you were rich, you could “rent” non-profit status from your favorite charity.

   And remember, Romney said there were NO TAX ADVANTAGES to having your money in a Cayman account! If that’s the case, why do it?

   Money and wealth are not bad things all by themselves
   

   
   However, if a rich man pays lawyers and accountants more money than I make in a year just to avoid paying his fair share of the taxes I might have a problem with that
   

   
   Not a problem I’m ever likely to have, but there really may be such a thing as too much money

   ..I know it isn’t politically correct to question this,but,if Rmoney’s tax returns showed he willingly gave 10% or more-even more than he had to- to his church,yet forgos paying what is due his government,doesn’t that show he’s more loyal to his church than the government he’s planning on running?..just saying…

   If you give 10% or more of YOUR income to the “poor” whould that mean YOU are more loyal to the poor that to the U.S.? Your own reasoning says yes. Well?

    Actually I read something yesterday that said that Mormons believe that whoever is the head honcho(do not remember the name) has the direct ear of God and you are to put him above everything else, your family, your wife, your government.

    This was an argument that was used against JFK, being a Roman Catholic would he take orders from the Pope and not the American people?

    If those big salad dressing urns are all filled with cash, go Dad Doozie! And Dean may just be carping himself out of an inheritance that could pay for a vaycay to the Cay-cays.(They could, of course, be filled with pennies or dinars.)

    Romney should get appointed governor of the Cayman Islands – then he could be with his money.

    ..so..you are saying that if this ‘head honcho told Mitt to Bomb Iran or drink only 7up he’d have yo do it?I don’t believe Mitt Romney would/could do those things as president(and I am not a fan)…

    @Radish

    …yes,but JFK was not a personal friend of the Pope.And he pledged if his politics and religion ever came into conflict he would resign…as,he said,any person would do….I never heard Romney give this pledge…maybe I missed it…
