And Romney's running mate is
      #789627 - 08/11/12 08:33 AM

Paul Ryan

This should be fun .

Wanna bet he runs as far away from Ayn Rand as he can ?


At least Mitt(ens) didn't pick a brain dead first term Governor .

Funny how the tea baggers luv this guy despite NEVER working in the private sector . I mean what's he ever done ?

I'm a little surprised at this choice. Paul Ryan is a much stronger personality than Mitt. It's as if he is counting on Ryan to inject some backbone. I can't quite figure Romney out. This odd, awkward coupling is another example of what I don't get about Romney. Ryan--I know what he stands for.

I would imagine he stands for what he says he stands for. Sure you will get the flip flops, but they all have that. It won't be a case of not voting for someone who has not flip flopped, they all have, it will just be a case of who do you think is going to go in the right direction. Pretty much the economy, and other big ticket items, and their cost. To include Obamacare. The religious issues, the dogs carried or eaten, whatever else they come up with during the media colonoscopy, they will all be distractions, spending, taxes, debt, entitlements will be the core issues.

Careful, if you make more than some think you should make in investments, you'll be told that it implies illegal activity, so you best stop that crazy talk of making good money investing. Don't ever admit that you didn't pay any more tax than you were required to by law either, it makes you a possible felon.

That's utter nonsense. Stock prices are reflective of market perception and speculation. Capital valuation of a company is not going to plummet because a small fraction of its investors have to pay 20% on their long term gains vs 15%. Everyone still pays the same rate on short term gains....

Yet during Clinton's run, when the capital gains rates were higher, stock prices rose....and yet during Bush's run, where he lowered the tax, prices plummeted. So you can post all the theories you want, but when it comes down to actual results, it's been proven that the higher tax didn't mean sh!t all in the force of price ascension. Plus, who the f@ck sits around and only plays the calls? You play both ends of the spectrum and run shorts and put options to hedge bets.

">>>>> What is it with you LYING ?"

Which part do you THINK is a lie? That Reid made a claim? It happened. That the claim stated that he was in possession of information (the "source") that a Presidential candidate hasn't paid taxes in 10 years? It happened.

But, as usual, you make BASELESS claims, that I am lying, but offer nothing to PROVE it. Oddly enough, YOU demand proof of EVERYTHING.

"who WORK for you and your party, yet you can't verify that Romney paid his taxes?

>>>>>>>> Damn you're stupid ."

Again, NO substance. Geithner is the Sec Tres. The Department of the Treasury is in charge of the IRS, Obama appointed Geithner in 2009. This is not rocket science.

">>>>>>>>> You can LEGALLY not owe/pay taxes with WHATEVER amount of income ."

That was not the IMPLIED meaning of Reid's statement, and you know it. But lets say he WAS meaning that. He is, AT A MINIMUM, guilty of violating the Privacy Act, because your tax returns are none of anyone's business other than the IRS.

">>>>>>>>>> That would be ILLEGAL ."

Going to the IRS and verifying that a Presidential candidate is up to date on their taxes is illegal? Might want to get that word out to anyone who has ever been AUDITED. Of course, "He hasn't paid taxes in 10 years" sounds better than, "He has legally filed his tax returns and owes the IRS nothing", when you are looking to SMEAR someone.

But lets assume that he did have a ZERO liability on his taxes for the last ten years. Well, the two following statements have been made:

"Mitt Romney has paid no taxes in the last ten years"

Reid

"Mitt Romney only paid 14% in income tax on $20 million dollars in income in 2010"

The DNC

ONE of them HAS to be a LIE. You cannot pay ZERO, and pay 14% of $20 million at the same time, they are mutually exclusive statements.

Personally, I think he HAS released them already, the Democrat just don't know what a tax return LOOKS like, so they haven't FOUND them yet.

BTW, if you feel someone is cheating on thir taxes, you CAN report them, here is the info:

How Do You Report Suspected Tax Fraud Activity?

If you suspect or know of an individual or company that is not complying with the tax laws, you may report this activity by completing Form 3949-A. You may fill out Form 3949-A online, print it and mail it to:

Internal Revenue Service
Fresno, CA 93888

If you do not wish to use Form 3949-A, you may send a letter to the address above. Please include the following information, if available:

Name and address of the person you are reporting
The taxpayer identification number (social security number for an individual or employer identification number for a business)
A brief description of the alleged violation, including how you became aware of or obtained the information
The years involved
The estimated dollar amount of any unreported income
Your name, address and daytime telephone number
Although you are not required to identify yourself, it is helpful to do so. Your identity can be kept confidential.

Reid's comment crossed a line. I'm not a business owner, but this would be a factor for me if I was making a hiring decision. Reid's and the DNC's statements are not mutually exclusive and Reid left himself with an out. If Romney released 10 years' worth or tax returns, the next line would be, well, those weren't the 10 years I meant.

Where's Romney's birth certificate ?
The long form too .

Why can't he release 12 years of tax returns like his father did ?
Why can't he release as many as Obama ?

Wanna see Romney's grades too ?

Reid said of Romney, “He didn’t pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that’s true? Well, I’m not certain. But obviously he can’t release those tax returns. How would it look?”

Not sure where your numbers come from. But it is a thought provoking statement, if you don't release it, it's because you can't, because how would it look.

That would be a decade .

10 years before his partial release .

I'd love to see how much an overtaxed job creator like Mitt actually pays .

Isn't that the story the (f)right wing has been pushing since Reagan ?

Shame on anyone for holding Romney to the standard his own father set .

So is 1984-1993.

"Shame on anyone for holding Romney to the standard his own father set ."
What does the law require?

Typical Repukes , cry like babies when their stratagies are turned back on them .

That is more like a chicken and the egg kind of thing, The Clintons start asking, Obama refuses, republicans cry, democrats start asking for taxes, Romney refuses, democrats cry...

The fact is the Clintons started the whole thing, and now both are doing the same thing.

So Obama and Romney should show everything anyone wants them to. If they don't, they must be hiding something. Sounds fair enough.

or do we now have truthers, birthers and taxers.....

">>>>>>>>> You mean it's wrong to hold Republicans to the same standards they ask of Democrats ?"

Well, the KEY difference is that a birth certificate is MANDATED to be supplied by a presidential candidate, while tax returns are NOT.

"Where's Romney's birth certificate ?
The long form too ."

I don't know, is there any question as to his place of birth? Has he refused to supply it?

"Why can't he release 12 years of tax returns like his father did ?
Why can't he release as many as Obama ?"

I am sure he could. Of course, when he DOES< they will beat him over the head with his INCOME and how much he MADE, so he really is in a no win situation.

"Typical Repukes , cry like babies when their stratagies are turned back on them ."

Again, when the documents in question are a MUST release, as opposed to a COULD release, there is a difference in how they should be handled.

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...

Easy answer from GD, Republicans should stop ASKING, and Democrats should get whatever they ask for immediately, LOL.

Was there ANY question as to where they were born, and were they born to one or more foreign parents? Interestingly enough, while you want to use Rommney's Dad as a reason he should release his tax returns, there was also an issue with George Rommney's place of birth, which was questioned by Democrats at the time. George was born in Mexico, albeit to TWO citizens of the US, while living at a Mormon colony. When his birthplace was questioned, he produced the proof that he was a natural born American citizen.

Of course, you will IGNORE this and continue your double standard.

">>>>>>>>> Sorta like the birthers ."

You DO realize that I am NOT a "birther", and they represent a VERY small minority of the population, right?

">>>>>>> Then every other President had to RIGHT ?"

Every other President has had to verify, when questioned, their citizenship status.

It is mandatory that the President be a natural born citizen.

">>>>>>>>>> Was that the long form ?"

Don't know.

">>>>> According to the posts HERE , YOU ARE ."

That is a flat out lie. Not only have I NEVER claimed to be a birther, but I have said from the beginning that the birth certificate thing was a red herring. That it was a waste of time, and that he was a natural born US citizen. I can see how you might have been confused, maybe thought I was someone else, etc. But know that I have cleared it up for you, all that is left is your apology.

Releasing his tax returns is not just a democrat request. Plenty of republicans are asking for it, too.

Yeah, but you cannot trust republicans..:) If Mitt Romney were to release them because his father did, a tradition, that would make him resistant to change, keeping the status quo. It seems he is taking the progressive solution, and going with change...:)

Everybody release everything, and everyone will stop asking, and no one can say anyone is hiding anything....

Of course , we're told his income tax rate is too high at 35% .

So what's 14% ? That TOO high as well ?

So add in payroll taxes paid , than compare .

Still get 14% , what percentage of taxpayers pay more ?
