This means nothing at this point.

Wow, what a long post to say absolutely nothing. We are not envious of Romney's wealth. If I am in any way envious I wish I could make as much money as he does. What I would like to see happen is the tax code change so that I'm not paying more of a % of my income in tax than he is. I don't know where you guys keep getting the idea that all the left want to do is forcibly take the money from the rich. Edit: Nor at any point in his post did BD say he was envious of what Romney made. Just upset that Romney's tax percentage is less than his.

You're right it's not a tax haven. He just puts his money there to avoid paying US taxes for the hell of it! The height of all evil? please. The fact that a person who is running for president of the United States is socking money away in off shore accounts to avoid US taxes doesn't look good does it.

I spent some of my free time writing a screen play for a Halo movie. How about something like since Romney's name if Willard he somehow controls rats and gets them to do his bidding. Obama is some sort of Magnito (sp) like character. Newt is able to control lizards but is pissed because he really wants to be able to control the rats.

Please enlighten me on how you do it.

First I looked at how much I made then how much of that I paid the government took out the amount I got back in returns, which was only 180 dollars this year. The first year I filed long ago I got back far more than I paid out. Almost 1000 more than I paid in taxes. However I'm making a bit more money right now as well as my wife.

Yes I did. You must be in horrible pain most of the time.

This is what I'm talking about. When we pay more of a % in taxes than Mitt it hits us way harder.

Horseshit

I paid 30% Why should Mitt, who is making more in one year than I make in my lifetime pay half in percentage than what I pay? Sorry this just doesn't fly.

Along with my above post I think we do need to see a raise in the capital gains tax up to pre-Bush era. However not right now and not all at once otherwise we are going to shock the economy and end up in a double dip. 1) Raise capital gains 1% per year over the next 15 years. 2) Immediate drop in corporate tax by 3% This would make companies more likely to turn money back into the company to grow it rather than give CEOs mege-bonuses. In return for the drop in corporate tax they have to admit they are not "people" 3) Everyone pays a portion based on income. Even if you are on public assistance. If you don't like it move to France. 4) Extend Medicare to everyone along with a monthly premium based on income and require co-pays. Co-pays should make people think twice before going to the doctor just because they have a headache. If you want it totally for free, move to Canada. 5) Strict and sweeping regulation of Wall Street. Make sure we know whats going on behind the closed doors with OUR money. Are they making risky bets? 6) Term limits for our elected officials. 6 terms as a Rep. and 2 terms as a Sen. If you can't get done what you need to in 12 years you suck at your job and need to be replaced anyway. 7) Everyone in the nation pitches in and gets me a giant envelope full of money. 8) Refuse to do business with nations that do not provide basic human rights for their workers. See China. Tax any imports from things built in other nations through the roof and suddenly it doesn't look so great for a corporations pocket book to move over seas. The things we buy will be more expensive but people will have manufacturing jobs and more money to spend on products. The average raise in price would be 20-28%. A small price to pay for moving those jobs back to the US 9) Slowly move toward green energy over the next 25 years. Get us off of foreign oil and stop us from sending so much money over seas to people that really just don't like us that much. 10) once a day everyone must find a picture of my and stare at it for 5 minutes and think about how awesome I am. J/K about 7 and 10 but I think the rest would help us get back on track. And GOP, we are not going to be able to pay off the national debt in just a few years. I think we should set a long term goal of getting it to a reasonable level within the next 75 years. Just get us moving in the right direction for now. Small steps. The way it's been done for millions of years. I think this is a gross overreaction to what the left wants. You guys seem to have the idea that we all want to take away the money of the rich and give it to ourselves. What we want is to make sure that they can't stack the deck to take more of what we have left. That's it. People who work hard, take risk and grow their company should be able to make how ever much they want. And be rewarded with the money they make. But when mega-corporations are able to bend the rest of us over and ass rape us we have a problem with that. He also believed that "our moneyed corporations" should be crushed in their infancy to prevent exactly what we have going on right now.

My answer to this is to slowly phase out earn income tax over the next 20 years. Or the credit you get for having kids (can't remember what it's called) The other thing is Everyone should have to pay a litle bit. Even if you are getting a welfare check from the government you still pay a tax on it. If you don't like it get a job or start working on getting a better job than the one you have. This will seem a lot more fair once we all have some skin in the game.

Then he said he doesn't like abusing us. He does it because he has to! Wha-ha-ha... My psyche is forever damaged... Wha-ha-ha... No the fact that he seems to not be able to take a **** on a regular basis would make him irregular. All though if he were able to he might start posting happy posts talking about how awesome we all are and where would be the DC Tom we all know and love?

Oh, blow it out your ass.

I didn't say they were improper did I? These were the first few posts I have in this forum. Don't put words in my mouth. And yes, the second bomb was dropped to send a message to the Russians. "We have it, and we WILL NOT hesitate to use it".

Being brave doesn't give them the right to be !@#$s. Regardless of what the Taliban where doing before the marines killed them pissing on them afterwards is still taking it to a whole other level. I think we all agree that two wrongs don't make a right. If the Taliban were throwing acid on women and children better to turn the camera on that wouldn't you say? I would be more willing to forgive soldiers that massacre civilians in the heat of combat due to fear and anger. Shooting a Japanese trying to surrender because the didn't know if they were really surrendering or not. But did they need to piss on them afterward "just to be safe" If they did it was because they were being !@#$s.

The most interesting thing about the end of the war in the Pacific is the second atomic bomb dropped. After the bombing of Hiroshima the Japanese wanted to negotiate terms of surrender as long as they could keep their emperor. The we refused and dropped the second. There was no need for it. It was more along the lines of saying, "Hay Stalin, why don't you take a look across the Sea of Japan on August 9th.

Though I agree with you that Romney can't win without these people coming to the polls in the general election the jury is still out on whether or not they will come to the polls or stay home on election day. To me that's going to be the most interesting thing to see in November assuming that Romney wins the nomination. I would say this has more to do with how desperate Newt is.

So because the French couldn't get it done on time it's Obama's fault? Whatevs dude.

Really? He lead the charge to overthrow a dictator without ever putting one single American boot on the ground and somehow this makes him a bad leader?

What I find amazing is that right after this post bob posted a vid of real doctors, on camera, talking about how they feel their system is better. So if you haven't watched it yet you might not want to or you're going to have to change that line you keep repeating over and over again. Like a Fox News anchor, you seem to be under the impression that your opinion, if stated forcefully enough, constitutes fact. And I think Obama care should be repealed and replaced with a system the extends Medicare to everyone. Otherwise it's the best we're going to get at the moment.

Can you give us actual data from actual Canadian doctors from a peer reviewed source or journal? If not all you're doing giving us your personal opinion. And that don't' mean ****.

But the question is: Will the christian right get out and vote for him on election day or will they just stay home? I think in the end that's what is going to make he election.

Hey, why don't you just take it to the next level and just blow him?

That's a very fair trade. I'm all for drilling at home while switching to green energy. But the DoE and EPA aren't going anywhere.
