Let me tell you how I feel about Romney's tax rate, I don't care. What I do care about is ...

[1-Old-Man]

Where did he make his income and where did he invest it? Does he put money back into the United States or does he not? That is what his returns will show that interests me. I don't care that he took full advantage of every tax break to be found in the tax code, that is anyone's right (though I think most of those breaks should be eliminated - another discussion). But if he then sent all of his "earnings" out of the country, invested them where they do naught to improve our own economy, then he is certainly not the man I want running my country. And where did the income come from? Was it from predatory business practices, was it from dismantling companies or industries, just where do his millions come from each year? Are his holding sweat shops and burger flipping joints or does he invest in sectors of industry that employ skilled labor, well paid? Or does he get his money by maneuver, swapping this for that and playing the numbers with a host of accountants and lawyers squeezing every penny out of every dollar in his name?

Show us the god dam returns Mitt, and I don't mean just 5 years worth either.

1. I agree. Those returns can tell us much about the man.

His tax rate might be the least of it. Great post!

[sadbear]

2. +1

Yep, those things don't just reveal how much or how little he paid.

[Herlong]

3. Show me the money!

Willard Rmoney would never be my agent. Can't trust him!

4. He also says his tax rate is too high, but he spent months saying he didn't know what rate

he paid other than for last year.

The guy can't stop lying.

5. Any rate above zero is too high

for greedy assholes like him.

6. Romney has given no reason to trust him

I couldn't agree with you more. This is probably the first time Romney has ever "applied" for a job. Meaning we the people are deciding (and hiring) who is best for the job as the President of the United States. He forgets that we have a right to to information that will determine his integrity and character - NOT the other way around as he is accustom to. In this election, he is not the CEO of some company that says he can disclose or not disclose at his discretion. He is an applicant as far as I am concerned.
As was recently discovered, he lied about being a resident for 7 years in order to run for governor by saying he did and to take his word for it. Why should we trust him now?
It's painfully obvious that by having many tax havens off shore (among other things), he did not use his hercules amount of money to improve the economy of the U.S. or create new jobs in the U.S. He did it to make more money for himself. . The money he gives to "charity" is one charity, the LDS church which is mandatory. And no, you can't add that to the 13% he paid in taxes because it's deductible, as well as the $77,000 deducted for their fancy horse.
There are too many questions and not enough answers for Romney to deserve the job. I do not trust that he will do what is best for the majority of Americans. I do not believe that he has any integrity or compassion. I do not believe he can make difficult decisions or even a simple decision for that matter. He changes with the wind and buckles easily. I do believe though he is only out for himself and those like him.
So again, why should anyone trust Romney?

7. LOL! We the people are deciding and hiring who is the best for the job as the

President of the United States?


That is priceless...............It has most probably already been decided and I don't think we the people you people even came into play.


Color me cynical, otherwise why would shittmitt pick such a divisive candidate for his VP?

8. What has been decided?

Since you are so sure it's already been decided, whatever that means, I guess there is no reason for you to vote.
