Romney's Taxes

[dellinger63]

14.1 % effective rate and an astonishing $4 million on $13.7 million in income given to CHARITY! That's 29% of total income given to charity.

Surely a far cry from the President's 4 tenths of one percent given when he thought no one was looking. Con-man to the bone.

And then we look at Biden.

Sure is fun to stand tall and dole out other people's money though...

Reminds me, I should dig up some old underwear to donate and write off.

What's the news here? Didn't he release his 11 Return sometime back?

During an interview with Radio Iowa last night, Ann Romney had a message for the growing ranks of Republicans who have criticized her husband in recent days.


"Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring," she said. "This is hard and, you know, it’s an important thing that we’re doing right now and it’s an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country."

From Price-Waterhouse

"In 2011, the Romney's adjusted their charitable giving to be consistent with statements Mr. Romney has made in the past regarding his maximum tax rate".

That's right - the Romney's gave less to charity, so their tax rate wouldn't be outrageously lower than it already is.

Dell - are you aware that the amount of charitable giving by the Romney's (generous, yes) has absolutely zero, nothing, nada to do with why candidates releasing taxes is important, and particularly what is desirable to see in Romney's income tax returns as a candidate for president?

Mitt Romney purposely paid more taxes. There goes the one principle Republicans thought he had.

@LOLGOP
MITT ROMNEY TOTALLY SHOWED HARRY REID BY PICKING AN ARBITRARY TAX RATE AND SPENDING MILLIONS EXTRA TO HIT IT!

Only a true liberal sheep like Riot could spin someone giving $4 million to charity as something bad. Riot that is why you have no credibility as you instinctively go to your liberal websites so that you could cut and paste the spin from some liberal nutjob.

I didn't say that, fool. I said the opposite. In fact, I used the word "generous" to describe their charitable deductions.

If you can't read, stop trying to comment.

The Romney's charitable deductions are not the issue here.

She and the President believe government can do a far better job than charity except planned parenthood, which should no longer be needed once Obamacare kicks in and everyone is insured. Another savings from Obamacare. As well as all the community/county hospitals and free clinics that will no longer be needed.

probably almost as hard as deciding what nanny to hire to take care of your kid.

Zig to be fair she was talking about the process of running for President.

Just image yourself running for President and the sh*t in your past the media would dig up and twist.

No thanks,

Vote for geeker2 The Degenerate Gambler.

Not sure that would sweep me into the oval office

yes, i know. which is why i'd never run. but he's not new to the process, and knows what running entails. and i doubt many feel much sympathy. i don't. he chose to run and put himself in the position he's in.

yeah, it's hard being in their shoes. poor things, having to work sooo hard. talking to folks, flying to different cities, explaining things. way harder than having a job and having to do everything on your own, with no hired help.
