I bet he barely even pays taxes. Hes a smart, devious fucker- I bet he has worked every loophole, sneaky exemption and off-shore exception until he could pay his taxes on his several-hundred-million in holdings with a roll of fucking quarters. There HAS to be a reason he's hiding them, and I for one would love to know what reason that is and what he's hiding.
I hope the facts come out just as the election is ramping up. Romney is terrifying, and that's coming from a Mass resident whose insurance premiums skyrocketed after his HORRIBLE legislation went through. I mean he literally made it a law that you have to have insurance, but didn't regulate the industry itself at all, so now the insurance companies rates have gone WAY up, and they're free to fleece the people as they see fit! Oh, and if you don't pay them, well then you're issued a tax penalty from the state LOL... I mean what the fuck, who even makes this shit up???
The guy is a fucking lunatic. Sure, he knows how to make money- by fucking over everyone who doesn't belong to his yacht club, that is. Fucking Romney.
Because the idiot conservatard birthers that were 100% sure that because he was brown that he wasn't born in America and demanded he show HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE of all things?
Oh yeah, forgot about that.
Besides, for a guy who touts his ability to rebuild a nation, he has jack shit for real plans and his track record sucks moose cock. I mean he wasn't even here in Mass for all that long and he fucked us up good. I mean, have you ever heard of the Big Dig?? Just a little highway project that Mitt turned from a $2.8 Billioin estimate to more than $14.6 Billion free-for-all... That we will be paying for until 2038??? Also known as the most corrupt, worst-overseen project in American History?? I'm sure you just forgot about that. Sure, Romney talks a big game but his actual dealings as a government official have been terrible AT BEST.
To the other kid... If you're going to get all "come at me bro" and say my logic is flawed, then you'll have to have some kind of information to bring to the table because I have a mountain of reasons from my real life that Romney is a fucking dicktool that will fuck us over royally.
Okay, first, I don't know much about US personal income tax but I kinda doubt you pay taxes on your holdings.
Second, who cares? If what he's doing is legal, he'd be an idiot NOT to structure his personal affairs in such a way as to minimize tax. If he had a ton of income and was paying more tax than he could be if he planned properly, that poor planning on his part would be a better criticism of his ability to manage a country.
I agree in theory.
However, Mitt absolutely makes my skin crawl. OF COURSE it's legal and that's what bothers me- people who have helicopters and multiple estates doing financial gymnastics to avoid paying their fair share when I sure as hell have to pay mine come hell or high insurance premiums backed by threat of tax penalty lol... And you think he's going to do anything to recoup those lost tax revenues? Hell no.
I don't really care if he releases them or not to be honest, I already know he's a fucking policy nightmare anyways, it would just be fun to see how little he pays back in.
Exactly.
If we all did as he undoubtedly does, we would be FUCKED. Plain and simple. I'd love for someone to pull back the covers and literally put him on the spot and say "Wow, Mitt- if we all paid taxes like you, this country would be about $6 short of having enough for a pack of smokes".
