First all of Romney's wealth is in a "blind trust fund" which he established in 2003 when he became Governor of Massachusetts
If you're not going to read my whole message, why bother replying?And your point sir/madam? Are you saying that Romney committed murder or is/was a gangster?
I'm not sure I share your confidence that the IRS could find any and every irregularity in a person's return, but regardless, they're only looking for compliance with the tax code. The reasons for wanting to see a candidate's tax returns go quite a bit beyond just the question of whether he was evading taxes.Again your point? I am sure that you are smart enough to realize that the IRS has examined Romney's tax returns to the nth degree. However, the tax laws in this country are so extremely complex that there is probably no one that completely understands them.
Again, I think your confidence is misplaced. There's been quite a bit of question about how much control he was exercising over the investments in that supposedly blind trust. This is precisely one of the questions that looking at his tax returns would shed light on.Another point, Romney does not do his own taxes or has any control over his investments. All of his income comes from a blind trust that he has no control over.
While there's nothing wrong with getting professionals to help prepare your return, ultimately it's you who takes responsibility for it.I am sure that he is delivered his tax papers and told to sign them. He is not a tax lawyer and has to trust his accountants to do the work.
According to the media, I guess am supposed to be more concerned with what Romney does with his money then what Obama does with my money...:sarcastic
For me, this election is a lose-lose situation. I don't trust either candidate enough to vote for either one of them.
Here is a novel idea, how about we focus on the actual policies each campaign claims to support? You know, look at positions that are actually relevant to being president.
I'm not a fan of either choice in this coming election. But to continually talk about his taxes just makes me angry. People are stupid, they don't understand the difference between Earned Income (being a doctor, a cop, a dentist, a teacher, etc...) and Dividend Income. The tax rate for my dividend income is the exact same as Romney's. 15%. Just because he is so wealthy that he doesn't have a conventional job like you and me, and lives off his interest, is no reason for him to pay more in taxes. If he were to get elected president, I bet you he would pay the same as anyone else. So the fact that he is paying 14%? Who cares? I'm sure he has some charities or donations or tax write offs. He is still paying the EXACT same as me.
Let me ask everyone something:
At the end of the year, when you do your taxes, do you look at the number you owe and go... Hmmmm, that's not enough.... Let me pay more of my money to the government. Let me guess, you don't? Neither does Romney.
If Obama has that much of an issue with what he is paying then he should have changed the laws while in congress...
or make suggestions to congress while he is president.... has he done that? no. This is just stupid politics, nothing more.
I'm not a fan of either choice in this coming election. But to continually talk about his taxes just makes me angry.
if "ain't gonna happen" refers to seeing more than the required number of years of tax returns. I agreeGet used to it. It's standard procedure to release tax returns. WIllard's father was one of the original people to set the precedent. It's unfortunate his son doesn't follow the common sense involved.
Just keep in mind, tax evasion is a felony. I don't care how Willard evoided taxes if he's just a typical 1%'r. But to run for the Presidency requires more American principles.
Avoiding taxes is not something an aspiring President should do regardless.
We've seen 1 partial year of returns. I want to see him release a decade so we can call him out on his lies again. Willard needs to stick to his lifestyle and quit all future endeavors as a President.
It ain't gonna happen.

If Obama and company don't have the cahoots to stand up to those oh-so-threatening rich people, then he doesn't deserve to be in office. He can talk all he wants about changing it. The reality is this:He and his administration can present it to congress but remember..such law needs to be voted on and do you really think that those who stand to gain from the way it is now will change? Personally I don't think so.
Compromise? The democrats have the majority in each house and in the oval office. What more compromise do we need? One Party? A dictatorship?Actually he has....Many on the Democratic and Republican sides have been addressing the issue of tax reform for a while now since he's been in office. They really need some compromise on the issues. To me that's what's been lacking in congress for a while now.
I honestly don't knowJust a thought: if we're supposed to infer something from the fact that the IRS saw Romney's returns and didn't charge him with anything, what should we also infer from the fact that after John McCain saw Romney's tax returns, he passed over Romney as his running mate and declared Sarah Palin to be "the better candidate"?
No, he didn't say so... the same way that the IRS didn't come out and say that everything was hunky-dory with Romney's taxes.I honestly don't know
Did McCain come out and say he passed over mitt romney because of his taxes or are you inferring that he did.
Why does it matter if he was successful? Are you saying because you're successful, you deserve to be penalized more then the person next to you?
If someone were foolish enuf to eschew the advantage of tax breaks, I wouldn't want them as president.I wouldn't expect a person that takes advantage of the American system to run for President.
I saw a very nice boat this weekend, it was named "Tax Relief".
I believe you mean "cajones" (balls) instead of "cahoots" (partnership).If Obama and company don't have the cahoots to stand up to those oh-so-threatening rich people....
