So, where do you download these tax returns for perusal? Or we just go by what the campaign spokesperson said? crofl
gfy, vrwc!
Willard is a mormon, so he believes he can buy his way into heaven by following all the laws, paying taxes, and giving to charity. This shouldn't be a surprise that a guy who believes he will literally burn for eternity if he doesn't do good deeds would pay taxes and give away money to charity. He simply just isn't the big bad evil richer that guys like Boutons make him out to be.
Paid higher taxes than Boutons, that shit made my day :lol
Most of them yes. Below the poverty line of course not but part of the problem is that the Bush tax cuts made it a free for all for far too many people.Quote:

And we need to at least attempt to be responsible. I imagine that around the 2020 when enough of the boomers are retirement age that sane tax levels will be restored.
isn't that what christians believe too? Doesn't stop them from doing what they want.Quote:

I think it's a bit disgenous to say that he wanted those people to rise up. Him saying that he could never get these people to accept responsbility doesn't sound very "helping".Quote:

Yup. He only released the 2011 return.Quote:

The guy is clearly not stupid. He's just not a very glib politician. I'm not gonna hate him for that.
I don't see that at all. He thinks he can't win over anyone who picked Obama in polls? He's basically conceding the election if that's what he meant.Quote:

I guess after a few years paying 25+%, he was like, "Wait a sec I'm rich, isn't there some loophole I can use? Why aren't my taxes as low as the local checkout clerk?" :lol

I'd say that romney is much more of an american than guys like boutons who criticize him, giving away almost half of his yearly salary to either taxes or charity was pretty classy :cry

yep, if i take my income after tax and use part of it to invest, taking on a lot of risk, my reward should be high. double taxation (technically triple taxation if you think about it. the corp is taxed, what's left over is paid out as dividends and taxed again, and you used income AFTER taxes to buy the stock in the first place) is a drag on commerce and like the article says, encourages people to consume now rather than invest into businesses etc.Quote:
