    Well I know Obama's and his is to bring up gas prices to ween us off oil. His is to put the coal plants out of business that will also bring up high electric bills. His is to flood the already swollen welfare rolls with millions of new citizens. His is to force unions on more companies, forcing more over seas. All these hurt the very people he wants to help and will hurt the country.

    Speaking of budgets, are the Democrats gonna pass one in this century? Our last budget was under Bush.

    Do democrats & Obama know what a budget is?

    Is this in the Democrat manifesto? Swelling up welfare rolls?

    Might as well tell us the GOP plan is to cut taxes and increase spending. Might as well eh? Makes no difference what is actually true eh Marine1?

    I gave my daughter $40,000.00 to pay off her home to make it easier on her being divorced with two kids to raise, rather than wait till I die. I paid almost $7,000.00 in taxes taking it out so I don't know about tax evasion.

    Obama is wanting to make between 12 and 15 million illegals citizens. We have well over that many Americans out of work and on welfare now. If Obama got his way, how many of those new Americans do you think would be on welfare? Only makes sense my friend.

    That was magnanimous of you. I had 10K socked away toward an airplane and used it to help my daughter when she got out of the Marines.

    You're a regular Joe like the rest of us ... so we get IRS deduction scraps ... Willard lies about his low tax rate, moves his wealth to his kids and to Switzerland, Dubai and the Bahamas ... this is so to cover any property taxes that might incur with his new mansion with a car elevator ...

    Listen to what he says. He wants to gradually raise gas prices. He will also raise electric rates with his plans.

    He does just what this stupid government lets him do. As I said before, most of our problems stems from our own government.

    You can bet Obama wants to see gas prices come down till after the election. Then all bets are off. He is counting on pushing a lot of things through if he gets re-elected.

    Sure there is ... there are 100,000 people Willard created jobs for who have come forward to back Romney ... or is it 10,000 ... or is it thousands and thousands ...

    I mean c'mon, Willard did stand in front of Solyndra and some of the other empty Bush-era warehouses telling us exactly how and why he would bring them back ... yes ?

    Tax evasion? You think its OK to get taxed in the same money twice? So if you paid for your kids car, do you think you should pay some extra on it because you paid instead of them? What about a vacation? You think your kids should have to pay income tax on it just because you invite them?

    How much tax should we pay on money we've already been taxed on?

    Fine, then go to a flat tax and then everyone pays the exact same amount. No loop holes. What happens to those not used to paying anything but benefiting from everything the rest of us pay for? Fair?

    You must've missed the part where Willard lobbied the Feds for all sorts of Loopholes for Bain ...

    How Bain's Lobbying Saved Mitt Millions

    http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/01/bain-lobbying-saved-mitt-romney-millions

    Private equity titans like Bain Capital used K Street to preserve the GOP front-runner's favorite—and most lucrative—tax loophole.

    Again let me ask:

    Where is the news story here?

    Just more mind numb complaining by a lib if you ask me.

    So the guy is worth 250 million. Ok. Big whoop.

    Bud Fox isn't a man of the people. He's lived his entire life looking down upon us.

    Probably a considerable amount after running the 8th biggest economy in the world for 8 years.

    Other than governing California for 8 years and turned a deficit into a surplus, of course.

    That's certainly true. He was not a purist. But he was better than most.

    All I got out of this was a bunch of player hating nonsense. You're mad because he's rich and you're not. Am I wrong? Explain how.

    The reporting is according to the required funds and the amount brackets are set by that requirement. It is how all such reporting is tabulated and released to the public. And at any given time yes it is difficult to asses ones total net worth and the more different investments and different types of investments and hard assets you have the more difficult.
