So loopholes are the defining factor for you, huh? You do know that Obama "exploits" loopholes too, right. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Oprah.....they all "exploit" loopholes.
I bet you didn't have an issue when John Kerry and his wife "exploited" tax loopholes.
Just admit that your a liberal and you don't want a republican to win. It's okay, that's what this great nation is all about.
Do you think it's ethical that hedge fund tycoons are effectively allowed to lie about the source of their income? Carried interest, in the context of a hedge fund, is labor income to the management. That they're allowed to claim it's a capital gain is theft.
Oh, I thought we were talking specifically about Mitt, I didn't know we had hedge fund tycoons in the conversation. I'm trying to stay on topic, but obviously you're just too fast for me.
A charitable contribution is not equivalent to paying tax. It's not a substitute for paying taxes. We don't pick and choose which programs our tax dollars go to fund like you do with charitable contributions.
Charitable contributions are great. I applaud them and I applaud those who make them. But they aren't funding our nation's needs with them.
14% is NOT overtaxing the rich. I think many will believe that we can expect a bigger contribution from our wealthiest Americans. Especially when folks who make a lot less, pay a higher effective tax rate.
Why is funding government waste better than charitable contributions. Why do you get to tell Romney how to spend his money????
If you look at the $$$$$ you will find Romney paid a heck of a lot more than Biden and he also donated a lot more than Biden.
Why can't he use the "legal substitute" the way he wants?? Why does he have to do it your way?? Why does he have to contribute to fund programs he doesn't support, like planned parenthood and Solyndra like failings??
What if I just took a part of your income and told you where I wanted it spent???
I guess this is the only one of my posts you read because I addressed most of what you question in other posts. Hate to re-hash, but taxes are - by definition - the government taking our money and spending it on stuff we may or may not approve of. Solyndra is a terrific example of something that chaps my butt.
I don't blame anyone for taking every legal deduction they are entitled to - I think they're dumb if they don't.
My point is that you cannot argue - with a straight face - that we "overtax" the rich when our wealthiest (or at least one of them) is paying 14%.

Did I say we overtax the rich?? If so show me where.
Bottom line is the rich spend their money just like me and you, why do they have to spend it the way you want them to?? I can't spend your money, why do you want to spend theirs??
The government is the most wasteful spender of all, I'm thinking Mitt spending his money where he wants helps to create jobs, not fund some overlapped, wasteful government bureaucracy.

Romney is a hedge fund tycoon and has exploited this practice to greatly enrich himself.

Considering every single person who I've read complaining about Mitts taxes wants to see 2009, 2011 isn't going to quiet the anger.
Personally I'm very VERY curious why Romney wont release the same years of tax returns Obama has. I don't think tax returns will effect the election, but I'm still curious.

Romney's job (except as governor) was never to "create jobs". That's not what Vulture Capitalists do. They make money, not jobs. In fact, they make the most money by destroying American jobs.
As governor he failed on the "job creation" front.

The big problem I have with mittens and his taxes is this,
He exploits loopholes in order to benefit himself.
If someone wants to be leader of the free world and they are exploiting this, or exploiting anything as a matter of fact, I dont want him leading the free world!
Its as simple as that.
Made about 14 Million, Paid 2 Million in Tax, and gave 4 Million to Charity, but only claimed half that amount on Taxes.
Yeah, He does nothing for the poor.
STFU liberals.
I would never say he does nothing for the poor. But I also wouldn't count any money he gives to his church as giving to charity, as it's a tenant of the church that all Mormons give them 10% of their income.

Coveting other people's money is such a nasty trait.. GET THE FUCK OVER IT..It's none of your damn biznez.. IT'S HIS MONEY, period.. he can spend it any damn way he likes! He paid his taxes unlike you LIAR libs said claiming he paid NO TAXES.. now today you have egg all of your faces and rightly so.. so you come here and moan and piss thinking you have some right to tell this man what to do with this money. We know you liberals try to tell us what foods we can eat, if we can have sugar in drinks, NO SUVS, what type of car we can buy, NO WALMART, where to shop.. You little dictators think this is Communist China.. WRONG..
Where are Hussein Obama's records? Time to demand the same of the President. If you have nothing to hide Barack, release all of your college transcripts, records, papers..
So was this the "Romney Killer" all the Libs were expecting?
Doesn't look like it.
I already addressed this in other posts in the thread.Made about 14 Million, Paid 2 Million in Tax, and gave 4 Million to Charity, but only claimed half that amount on Taxes.

If you did the math you would see its more than 10% he gave to Charity, and are you implying the Mormon Church does not use the money to help the needy? They do, and you do not have to be Mormon to receive help. He also gave to other Charities as well.
This is Typical of Liberals, when confronted with a fact, you want to change the meaning of the word Charity. You want to somehow how say that giving money to a Church Charity, is not the same as say giving it to a local non Church run shelter.
To funny.
If he had taken the full deduction, his tax liability would have been under 13%, which he has previously claimed was never the case.
You're right. If he had done his taxes differently it wouldn't accord with what he later said about them.
Do you ever think about what you write before you write it?
What he said was dishonest. He has previously stated that if he didn't take every deduction he possible could, he would not be qualified to be President.
