Oh no I don't think its fair. Don't get me wrong. I cannot stand the government wanting my money and taking it. I cannot stand the government thinking that MY MONEY is their money and whatever they leave me at the end of the week I should be thankful for.

And that is the problem with the tax system in the US and I am not sure what the taxes in Canada are on investment income.

Romney isn't the solution, he's the problem. Rich have squandered and squirreled away America's finances, and he still won't pay his fair share.

The rich seem to be doing just fine in obamas disastrous economy that the last guy started.



Unless of course it pays your salary......like the military aka the sacred cow that can never be touched but fu ck the poor.

Oh aren't you same guy that called one of our forum members a F*G?

Who would have thought a libby is also a homophobe.

At any rate. This is ALL Obama's doing. Obama wanted the job... said he could fix it... and has made things a heck of a lot worse than the last guy.

Has he broken any laws?

Romney is paying he just isn't paying enough, and perhaps others are not either.
The difference is Romney is running for President and that could make a difference
to people in a tough economy. Yes the system is broken. The difference is this.
Romney is one of those business people who makes his profit off other peoples
misery. In a good economy hypocrisy dictates no one cares, in a tough economy
it could be the deciding factor. Americans are looking for villains for what has
happened and he could become the lightening rod, the Obama camp haven't
even begun exploiting this. The whole issue around the tax returns is a clue.
First you point to the fact he won't release them. That means there is evil waiting
to be discovered. When he does or admits to paying next to nothing it will be
centered around he exploited American workers destroying their future to ship
companies to Asia along with other evil people so they could exploit the Asians
with jobs at cheap sweatshop wages.
The problem is the current Republican team have become shrill voices appealing to
the Republican base, while the Obama team is packaging them as public enemy
number one and two. And the track record of both will add credibility to the task.

I think the military is necessary Gerry, but that's not to say I think they are always deployed properly. Just think what a difference 10,000 military on site could have made with Katrina!

Probably.

It will also show if he has paid his 10% annual donation like a good Mormon is supposed to. That money went offshore too.
