Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns, by the Numbers

Corporate raiders are paid to destroy and pillage companies with their scorched earth actions. The victims are the employees, suppliers, creditors and hometowns of the targeted companies. Kind of like warfare against America, not exactly Presidential.

Say what you will - A guy that gives almost 16% of his income - off the top - not 16% of of net after taxes - is a pretty good guy! I noticed Newt gave about 3% of his "Adjusted" Gross income.... and he's done this for virtually all of his life (even when he didn't have to).... that's a guy I can trust.

A class "war" implies two sides engaged in battle. Republicans say that Liberals are trying to start a class war. It seems to me that when a person earning multiple millions each year pays less per dollar in taxes than those in the middle class, the war has been going on for a LONG TIME and the middle class has been losing all along.

550 page tax return.. That's the problem with U.S. tax code..
It's too complex.. too many hidden loopholes for Romney's tax experts to find

Mr. Mitt Romney, please employ Mr. Newt Gingrich as a Historian so he can have a decent job instead of being an Influence Peddler. Tiffany will vote for you for giving them a break. hehehehehe

I'm sorry but his ten percent tithe to his church doesn't count as charity to me.... I'm sorry but that means he actually only gives 6 percent a year to worthy causes. and accounts in Switzerland and multiple ones in the caymans.. that really stinks of tax dodging... I don't care how he makes his millions he should be taxed the same 25 percent as other millionaires!

The 550 page tax return is because of 72,000 pages of laws!!! If I ever bothered to read 72,000 pages of laws I think I could even find lots of loopholes! They want it so complicated that no one could comply even if they were trying. That way they can collect more in penalties and taxes.

He has a 550 page tax return, because he's making 20 million dollars a year on investments.... he must have at least 300-400 million dollars in assets generating this sort of return. I'd like to see what these invesments are...

If you never spent a day in the real world where the bulk of real Americans live, how are you ever expected to know the trials and tribulatio ­ns and the worries that beset their lives?
How can you develop empathy for those people way below your class?

If you are like the majority of Americans, Mitt doesn't know you or care about you and doesn't want to improve your lot in life.
He sees you as either a profit or loss on a ledger and that's no way to feel about real living and breathing, hard working Americans struggling to keep afloat.
If you are a realist don't even consider voting for someone who has never even considered walking an inch in your shoes.

Romney will say anything...he blurts out to the unemployed woman "I'll make sure you get a job!"
Yeah right...who with Bain?

Attacking Romney/Bain is NOT an attack on capitalism. Romney is part of the northeastern Harvard-Wall Street-Washington elite. Call it crony capitalism, vulture capitalism or corporatism, it is NOT traditional free market capitalism or venture capitalism.

"Wall Street 2012" is based on bubble money and government bailouts, artificially pumping up stocks from quarter to quarter. It is run by lawyers and accountants and generic MBAs, privileged sons and daughters of old money.

Real capitalism is about manufacturing and selling things, technology, innovation, hard work, entrepreneurs taking risks, small/family business. Real capitalism is about competition, supply and demand, serving customers.

Romney never bootstrapped a business from scratch in his life. Bain was about buying and selling assets and getting a quick return for investors. Romney got the job because he was the son of a rich politician. Bain had several bailouts.

Romney is part of the same culture that brought us the Obama regime.

Willard Romney Took bailout money for Bain Failures. Opposed Bushes bailout plan in 2008
And turned around only to back Obamas bank bailouts.

Hence the name Willard Wall Street and Banks INC.

Romney's wealth is NOT an asset to help the US as he is not investing in America when he has had millions of investments and accounts in offshore tax shelters located in the lessor taxed regions like the Cayman Islands. The Swiss bank account we are told has been closed as his advisor feared it would be politically embarrassing. He eludes to that fact that tax havens such as these cost American taxpayers approximately $100 billion a year. He lives off the profit made from the hundreds of millions of dollars he raked in at Bain were due in part by laying off American workers and outsourcing their jobs to other countries.

Is Obama A poor man, what is his tax burden-who is this guy.

Behind every great fortune, there is a great crime. Does this apply here?

According to John Mcain in an interview with NPR----Romney had no trouble in providing Mcain's staff (23yrs.) of tax returns while he (Romney) was being vetted as a posible running mate for the '08 election. Romney's a slime ball pure and simple.

Yep, 3.2 million a year and they still think he should pay more!

How can there be separation of church and state when a presidential candidate gives four million dollars to his church, in one year?

Well okay then, looks like it s settled then. Romney paid his taxes as per the US code (IRS) and we all know he is rich. We also know that there is many problems with the tax code, so lets now quit blaming Romney for paying the same amount as every American (even Democrats) would pay from interest and capital gains and move on sorry you were disappointed trying to nag Romney on this issue. No issue with Romney - The issue is with IRS.
