Romney's 2011 tax return released

[Gramps]

Romney releasing his full 2011 tax return today at 3pm

He paid 14.1% which was 1.9 million.

That's a lot of cash to be giving the government but some will say it is not enough.

It is also being reported he is also releasing a summary of what he has made, gave to charity and the about of taxes he paid each year for 20 years.

Trying to track down his source from Bain and box his jaws....lol



You see Harry yesterday announcing "no more votes today" Trying to act like he was forcing Brown to do his debate with Warren last night.

I honestly don't care, but I would have issue with contributions to his church counted as charity. While it may be classified as 503c, that church is run like a multi-national corporation.

Obviously the media will now attack the Mormon Church because that's all they've got now.

We are 16 TRILLION dollars in debt (and growing by the second btw.) but let talk about tax returns...

*sigh*

When are we going to start to deal with real problems in this election?

I flipped the TV to MSNBC. They are already questioning what he may be trying to hide because he would not be releasing at 3 pm Friday if he wasn't trying to keep something quiet.

Funny because I didn't hear them pumping when Obama signed the NDAA on damn New Years Eve...

OK, now when will we see Barry's transcript?

And the Southern Baptist Convention and the Catholic Church aren't?

You need your perspective adjusted.

That's easy..... never.

He should have stuck to his guns and not released anything else.

This is not a media attack.

This was the release by the Romney Campaign.

Romney's blind trust trustee, R. Bradford Malt, said Romney artificially kept his marginal rate above 13 percent — the rate below which he says he has never paid — by not reporting nearly half his charitable giving.

Sorry, I linked that from a liberal blog saying that Romney is a hypocrite for paying more than he had to. And his rate should have only been 9% last year. (of course they don't mention that's because he donated over $4M to charity).

Gotcha...I know you are a solid poster.

His campaign is reeling from his 47% comments so they are trying to change the topic.

What took so long?

Romney donated more to charity than that 47% paid in income taxes

Reeling. :lolabove:

No one thinks they are in that 47% so most of the people he was talking about agree with him.

 

[Gramps]

That is the main reason I do not support Romney. He has a long history of not sticking to his guns.

That behavior makes someone look weak and untrustworthy, imo.

 

[golfballs]

What took so long?

Because he just filed last year's return

Actually, he had committed to releasing his 2011 return all along. He isn't backtracking.

Yeah, Romney said he would release his 2011 return before the first debate.

I don't think you know what you are talking about. The church does tons of real charity. My father-in-law was a bishop and basically every "poor" member of his congregation was in the church's pocket. For instance "fast offerings" (collected once a month) go directly to those who can't afford to feed themselves. People take advantage of it. He said the church was paying phone bills for people.

I went to BYU. I paid $1,800 in heavily subsidized tuition per semester. If I paid what it really cost then it would have been closer $30,000. This is the kind of thing that Romney's contributions would go towards.
