Romney caught on hidden cam saying messed up $hit

[javaguru]

So Mitt released his 2011 returns (along with a "summary" of the past 20 years - lol) and, bless his heart, only claimed $2.25 million in charitable donations compared to the $4 million he actually gave. Why not claim all of it? His campaign said that because he told the American people he always pays at least 13% in taxes, so he wanted to adjust his returns to match that.




Seems like the race is over then?

The race to the bottom is already over; Doesn't matter which wing of the oligarchy you vote for, the arithmetic and mutual policies wins every time. People are just squabbling over who gets to be captain of the Titanic.

I want to see an actual return from prior to 2009 and here is why. You can still amend your tax return going back three years, I think. Now that he has put 2010 and 2011 out there he is perfectly free to go back and claim all those deductions he left on the table. I want to see a text return that he cannot go back and adjust after it is released to the public. He has said several times that he pays the taxes that he owes and nothing more, so why did he leave millions of dollars on the table REALLY?

I want all deductions eliminated from the tax code. Central planners can't magically determine outcomes via social engineering. Why should a lifelong renter subsidize homeowners to fuel a housing bubble? Should someone that chooses to not have children subsidize people that choose to have children? Why does an atheist have to subsidize religion, studies have shown billions are lost to that one "non-profit" alone. If you're a non-profit then you won't make a profit, which means you'll never pay income tax.

There is a consensus among economists that taxes on savings, including capital gains, are the most detrimental taxes; Tax capital gains as "normal income" and you're likely to lose your job as the money flows into real estate speculation and commodities; Which the government/fed are banking on to re-inflate the bubble.

US tax policy set the groundwork for the S&L crisis because the tax reforms changed the depreciation schedule to make commercial real estate less attractive as a tax haven. As investors fled and the market crashed the S&L's were holding toxic commercial loans they tried to daisy chain but just like the current crisis the market collapsed.

At the very least, we need a no deduction system in the income tax. Let people be responsible for their own health insurance by disconnecting it from employment.I would also like to see a systemic reform that requires workers to pay 100% of payroll taxes by writing a check quarterly to the treasury so they all know how much medicare, social security, and unemployment are costing them. Only then, can we start to have a real conversation about the role of government; Placing the burden on employees to pay the taxes they owe as opposed to forcing employers to act as de facto tax collectors for the government would boost GDP as those resources are freed up for reinvestment in the business.

Thanks, I have yet to hear from someone that can make a philosophical argument for one party over the other.

 

[binö]

stick a fork in him he's done. Fuck that guy for making me vote for Obama. That's not a gaffe kiddies. If this is verified, and it looks like it is....there's gonna be alot of prominent republicans that are going to light him up for those statements. Obviously no one from Fox...i said "prominent". And he talks about class warfare? omg....they hypocrisy here is too much. Sorry Gary Johnson, maybe next election.
