Mitt Romney's tax returns ...
Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, earned more than $20 million in 2010. They held millions of dollars in a Swiss bank account and millions more in partnerships in the Cayman Islands. His family's trusts sold thousands of shares in Goldman Sachs that were offered to favored clients when the storied investment house went public. The couple's effective federal tax rate for the year worked out to 13.9 percent, a rate typical of households earning about $80,000 a year.
... are an example of why people suggest just shooting these rich fuckers in the head. Can't exploit the system when you're a dead motherfucker. |

My tax rate as a single man with no house was 25%. I fully support tax reform. We ask the wealthy to pay a proportionately smaller portion of their income than middle class folk. If they aren't willing to pay what we've asked, them I support fucking them in the ass with higher and higher rates until they reach the amount that we originally asked for.
Romney is probably the least deceitful, most well-meaning, most rational Republican in the race. On the chance that the Republicans could win the election, he's the guy I want them to nominate. I still don't think a Mormon (or any other non-Protestant religion) can win the Southern states but we'll see.

Obama must be loving the crazy that's going down amongst the GOP, I imagine given a choice, Nutso Newt must be one of his favoured opponents.
Every time you think "Republicans can't pick this guy, surely", someone says,Of course we can, and stop calling me Shirley."

| There's a reason the hoary old cliche "The rich get richer" is a hoary old cliche.
