Privacy?The theory is Romney took the 2009 tax amnesty. He might have done illegal things but they where forgiven. Seems like a good theory to me, why doesn't he want to show his tax returns that far back if he hasn't done anything wrong?
Well, you knew what I meant. Some of the time I make mistakes with language, but the meaning is right.I believe you mean "cajones" (balls) instead of "cahoots" (partnership).
Interestingly, balls are often partners.

Giving ammunition to morons looking for ammunition for specious attacks?
Perhaps Obama's grades are in Willard's tax returns, & he want's to protect the prez?
Or perhaps he grew tired of people putting their hand in his pockets. Stashing cash offshore is hardly ill gotten gains. Who's money was it after all? Class warfare is envy and greed.There's no comparing ones college grades to one hiding millions in possibly ill-gotten gains. Ultimately his taxes or lack thereof is outweighed by his social economic agenda IMHO.....
We keep hearing those supporting Obama complaining about Romneys Tax Returns. Here are the facts as I see them.
1. Romney is very well off; rich would be a valid statement
2. Romney has reported his income to the IRS
3. The IRS has not taken any action against Romney, therefore there are no legal discrepancies related to his Income Tax filings.
For you out there that say that Romney is hiding something illegal in his tax returns is a non-truth, see #3 above. The Obama supporters say that he used loopholes in the Tax Code to pay less tax. Granted he probably did, I am not saying he did or did not. However, in my opinion, if a person was too stupid to use legal means to pay less income tax I do not want him or her as my President.
Let me ask this question: if you were making say $750,000.00 a year in regular income and $250,000.00 in capital gains, dividends, and interest would you pay approximately 44% of $750000 and approximately 15% of $250000 in taxes to the Federal Government? Or, would you hire a very smart tax account and reduce your tax burden? If you said pay the maximum either you are very stupid or extremely liberal.
Now lets look at Obama.
This country is what is called center right on social and economic issues.
Now Obama has refused to release his college transcripts. What is he hiding in these transcripts? Has he written papers that express his social and economic ideals that would be objectionable to the American public? Does his GPA show that he was lazy, non-motivated, lacking in various academic areas, or one or more of these? Just what is Obama afraid to bring to the light of day?
As far as Obamas leadership qualities absolutely necessary for the President of the United States.
1. Obamacare, should have been called Pelosicare. Pelosi pushed Obama to back this, Rahm E. urged Obama not to go big Pelosi won
2. It is reported that the decision to take out Osama bin Laden was cancelled three times on the advice of Valerie Jarrett. It appears that Obama runs everything past Valerie. She shows up at the National Security Meetings (hmmmm security leaks?).

I'd say that the American political spectrum is center-right on average.Just to be querulous, by whom?
I'd say that the American political spectrum is center-right on average.
However, I also think that Obama is center-right, and I don't think that's what esmith was getting at.
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:
In 2008 he was elected. Democrat in the Executive Branch.
In the House election of 2008, the democratic party GAINED 21 seats to increase their majority.
In the Senate election of 2008, they GAINED 8 seats to have even a bigger majority.
Telling people that Obama is going to change the tax code is just dishonest. He has a democratic house and a democratic senate. Anything he wants to push through, he can push through. If he doesn't have the power to stand up to those who 'stand to gain from the way it is', he doesn't deserve the office.
It could also be said this way....There's no comparing ones college grades to one hiding millions in possibly ill-gotten gains.
You are correct that all this "disclose this" & "disclose that" maskUltimately his taxes or lack thereof is outweighed by his social economic agenda IMHO.....
Or perhaps he grew tired of people putting their hand in his pockets. Stashing cash offshore is hardly ill gotten gains. Who's money was it after all? Class warfare is envy and greed.
Yes, our government is greedy.
That's like my saying that Obama possibly cheated in school, & thus wants his scholastic records kept secret.Never said it was ill-gotten gains....I said "possibly".....
Indeed. Maybe he even goes as far as strapping his dog to the roof of his car. We just don't know.That's like my saying that Obama possibly cheated in school, & thus wants his scholastic records kept secret.
Obama also possibly:
- Beats his dog.
I guess what I don't understand is this. The LAW says the tax on capital gains, dividends, and interest is 15%. The commercials for the Democratic party claim he paid 14%. To me it seems like he is paying his taxes... Everyone has donations, right-offs, etc... to lower their taxes a little bit. If the democrats have that big of an issue that the law lets him pay 15%, they should change it instead of complaining about it. They have a democratic house, democratic senate, democratic president and you're complaining because the laws are not fair?Let me ask this question: if you were making say $750,000.00 a year in regular income and $250,000.00 in capital gains, dividends, and interest would you pay approximately 44% of $750000 and approximately 15% of $250000 in taxes to the Federal Government?

I guess what I don't understand is this. ............ They have a democratic house, democratic senate, democratic president and you're complaining because the laws are not fair?
It's just stupid politics.
So what did they do in 2008 when they had the majority and the power of the people behind pretty much whatever agenda they wanted.You continue to propagate a falsehood. Today, in the 112th congress, Republicans hold the majority in the House, and the Dems hold a slim margin in the Senate.
