A thought on releasing tax returns

[wbcoleman]

Wrong. It's in the Constitution; it's a constitutional "straw man". Deal with it.

 :strawman:

Remember, the president only signs bills that legislators pass.  Apparently you can care less about their financial situation.

Again--read the Constitution. The congress can't override the Constitution no matter what it passes.

 :strawman:

Read the thread.  I am not making that argument.  The point is that tax code is law.  Those who write the law, create loopholes, deductions, and credits are congressmen and senators.  Yet you don't care about them and how they game the system.

The bots will twist themselves into pretzels defending O on even the most trivial points!

What I have learned is as long as you aren't running for president you can offshore money and investments, pay low tax rates, and take advantage of the tax code you helped write.

Sure you can. But did he actually, and legally?  There remains a legal question about his over-the-legal-amount IRAs.  Etc.

Nobody cares.


Top priorities for voters:


1.  Jobs and the economy


2.  Jobs and the economy


3.  Jobs and the economy


Something Obamabots don't want to discuss.

Discussed and discussed with good housing starts and good existing home sales and jobs being added, IN SPITE of Republican thumbs on the economy...not to mention fat asses.

And everybody cares just how interested Romney is in investing in America.  So far, he's shown that he prefers to do anything but.

A possible rabbit hole post.....

The major sticking point nonetheless. We wanna see his itemized investments, and how many of those are American.

No, there is no "we".  There are Obamabots who do not want to discuss real issues.

Really?  What exactly is "the legal question"?  Who says his IRA is "over-the-legal-amount"?  What is "the legal amount"?

Who is "we"?  The Democrats?  Because you think he should provide ammo so you can embarrass him?

I'm willing to wager a substantial sum with kentay, or anyone else, that Mitt Romney NEVAH faces an IRS enforcement action relating to his income taxes.

I also think it's worth noting that even talkingpointsmemo had to admit that Dingy Harry was completely full of crap in making his unsubstantiated charges.  If a Republican had ever directed anything like that at, say, Ted Kennedy or The Pompous Windbag, all hell would have broken loose.  This, of course, is different.

Finally, congratulations to kentay for using his daily visit to respond to ONE thread not of his own making.  Way to go, Big Guy!

We The People who are entitled to see for ourselves, as in Right to Know, as encoded in our laws, as in, we have a right to know what he's trying so hard, bending over backwards  to hide.

Outside of that 1% is the rest of the United States.

Doesn't matter what's not legally actionable about his returns. We wanna know what it is that he finds so important to hide from public eyes.

Actually, no, you don't have a RIGHT to know anything about them.

The old adage about the apple does fall far from the tree in the Romney son case he fell on a lost unknown Island. Kentay
