Remember, this is not even a party issue, both parties have provided 10+ years of tax returns. Except Romney, because he's special lol

He is not required to do whatever his father did. If there is somehthing amiss in Romney's taxes, the IRS would have had a problem...which they do not.

This is nothing more than a bullcrap Red Herring to distract attention from the economy,and the HORRENDOUS current first iem jobless claims report, as well as the outrage of the Fast & Furious investigation obstruction, nothing more.

Add to that the fact that NONE OF IT IS WORKING,as the latet NYT/CBS poll has ROMNEY LEADING OBAMA, after WEEKS of deliberate LIES abotu BAIN, million$ spent in Liespeak ads, and the current tax return deliberate distraction.

Hilarious...

The most that Romney could get back in offset tax payments as a result of giving $7,000,000 to charity is ~36% of it: approximately the highest tax bracket that exists for income (and most of Romney's income is not taxed at that level, but - rather - the capital gains level, which is 20%).

So if your brain-dead 'logic' was correct, you are actually defending the notion that Romney gave $7 million to charity to save $2,520,000.

Hey! That is perfectly logical in liberal loopy-land!



No wonder you're an Obama voter.

The long term capital gain tax rate is 15%, not 20%, while your mentioning loopy land and bread dead and stuff like that.

It's always amusing to see conservatives rant about brain dead liberals in the same post they demonstrate they don't know what the hell they are talking about.

That's the best you can do, Iriemon? Correct me on a percentage? That was a past cap gains tax level, and I typed quickly.

The capgains rate was 20% in the past - ya know: while you were still in diapers.

And while we're at it, we can all laugh at the stupidity of saying "bread dead".

Touche, holmes.

So without any evidence you assume that the Romney family's contributions are merely for the purpose of tax write offs, or that they donate only to conform with their religion?

Even better. So now you are suggesting that Romney gave $7 million to charity just to save $1 million in taxes. If that sounds like a good deal to you, I've got a better one - send me all the money you have and I'll send half back to you. That its more than triple the deal Romney got.

Idiots...

$7 million dollars to charities.....and the government didnt even have to send men with guns to Romney's front door.

If I got that sweet special privileged 15% max rate that Romney and the Uber rich pay, I'd have some money left over.

$7 million probably made a lot of things happen for a lot of people who couldn't make things happen for themselves! But since this money comes from a source of wealth, and not government, it doesn't count.

The standard huh....where is that written?

.....And then come the demands for the 1990-2000 returns.....

Should he pay taxes on his Chartiable givings?....thats the Liberal Spirit!

Pelosi Threatens Media: 'Maybe The People Writing These Stories' Should Release Their Tax Returns

IOW, Romney has the right to be shady since Pelosi et al are dumbasses.

Wow, what a compelling an argument you have.


May I ask, are you voting for Romney?
