    AS with you.

    Let us know when another presidential candidate is even HALF AS GENEROUS as the Romney's , who gave 30+% of their income to charity....

    Speaking of public service what service did Obama due outside of buying votes with someone elses money. Romney has done a lot at NO pay at all. Sounds like my kind of guy

    We are not all equally skilled, gifted or motivated is why we are "not all billionaires"...

    Unless of course he had put his money into AIG or the VERY conservative and safe 150 yo Lehman Brothers investment house, in which case he could be penniless after the GW BUSH crash of '08!! :lol:

    I see Romney gave that money to TAX-DEDUCTIBLE organizations.

    That does not mean ANY of that money went to CHARITY! If the money went to the Mormon Church, about $24 went to Charity.

    The rest went to the further exaltation of the LDS power structure.

    Keep blaming the GSEs (Fannie/Freddie) fraudulently assuring the solvency of the loans they guaranteed, leading directly to the bundling/trading of mortgages, the least solvent a direct result of the community reinvestment law (than you Bill Clinton), on G W Bush.

    It's so worn it's become the Leftninny Cliche`... Romney was, obviously, smarter than to trust Fannie/Freddie's LYINGASS execs....

    in Romeny's case all him and his wife did was be born with rich parents, you have to be pretty pathetic to blow that chance at being rich when you leave the nest, can sell a company the use of your last name, make millions.... heck sounds like Romney wasn't sure when they "stopped" using it

    Yeah, Mitt Romney has made no major business decisions in his life, at BAIN, the US Olympics, or as Gov. of Massachusetts.

    His "daddy" did it all. Got it.....

    Do you even realize how SILLY your posts are?

    If we gave every rich person, AND every poor person in America $1 million dollars, the rich would be EVEN RICHER in five years, because they would continue the habits that made them richer, and the poor would be BROKE AGAIN in five years, becasue they would continue the habits that made them poor in the first place.

    You just don't get it.....

    He's had a job. Don't be silly. HE elected NOT to take his SALARY as Governor of state of Massachusetts. It was a way to help out his state. Obama, on the other hand, ALSO a RICH man, has elected to take his $450,000/yr salary from the American taxpayers......even though he's NOT done his job. Let's FIRE him. :nod:

    I feel pretty sure that when elected President.....Romney will NOT take the salary and will allow the American people to keep it. It's what magnanimous and thoughtful RICH people often do.

    That is noble, that Romney gave up the chance to be a billionaire, he would have hurt more people by exploiting them, if he had done that, to earn billions instead of millions.

    And it's great because after President Obama is re-elected, his risk of allowing other wealthy exploiters through public service, to continue their evil, will not pay off.

    He will not be the living king of Satan's capitalist Army, his ego won't be stroked, and he will realize he failed after all.

    To a rich man like Romney, the meager President's salary of a few hundred thousand means nothing to him, so this illustrates how ungodly rich some people are, rather than how thoughtful they make themselves appear.

    It illustrates that Romney WOULD BE A BILLIONAIRE, if not for PUBLIC SERVICE.

    Do I need to mention his ASTOUNDING GENEROSITY? (30+% of his income...to CHARITIES.)
