Hey everyone, stop picking on Mittens.
- Thread starter bean

He should have used one of his smarter wives for the election.
ftfy.
Sounds like someone got their feelers hurt. 
It must be hard to not use punctuation during this campaign as well.
Know what is even harder? Being president.
As good a place as any: Mitt Romney overpays his taxes to prove that rich Americans (running for president) pay an adequate amount of taxes.
His campaign even admits that he overpaid because of a "promise to the American people". Ugh....
No wonder this all came out on a Friday afternoon...
So basically if he wasn't running for president (and LEGALLY required to release his tax returns), he would have paid somewhere between a 9 and 11% tax rate. But since he said that he always paid at least 13% in taxes, he overpaid this year. And we're supposed to believe that even when he wasn't running for president, he overpaid as well? Seriously?
His campaign even admits that he overpaid because of a "promise to the American people". Ugh....
Lastly, while his accounting firm is acknowledging that he never paid below 13.6% over the past 20 years, the campaign is also not answering whether he filed any amended tax returns (ie, "redid" his previous taxes and wrote a big fat check to the IRS) or not.Romney Campaign said:

If it is only fair to pay more why not increase taxes?
Oh, and apparently (FINALLY!) Mitt Romney and I agree on something!!! Holy smokes!

And withheld claiming ALL his deductions so to keep true to his work of >13%, wow.
By the way, when you get this reaction from your most reliable voting bloc (65+), something is very, very, very wrong with your campaign:
I hear a lot of comparisons between Romney's tax rate and that of a family with $50k income. Correct me if I am wrong but the average family gets it's income from working and not from returns on wealth. Workers efforts also contribute to payroll taxes. Wouldn't a better comparison place more of a burden on the working family?

Romney has a lot of people indirectly working for him... He's like a feudal lord of blind trust and therefor taxed at a lower rate.
Chris Hayes just had a great point: Mitt can go back and file an amendment at *any* time to claim those extra deductions that he didn't originally claim. So the day after the election (win or lose) he can send a request to the IRS for his $250k (that he graciously overpaid) back......
I finally have something in common with the AARP. We both hate Paul Ryan.
That dip**** teacher's pet schoolboy routine just doesn't look good when you're older than 12.

I see what you did, but Angus was never going for "teacher's pet school boy". More like "school boy petting the teacher."
Dan Senor, one of Romney’s closest advisers, has kept a tight grip on Ryan, traveling with him everywhere and making sure he hews to the directions of the Romney “brain trust” in Boston. (A brain trust, rumor has it, that refers to Ryan as “Gilligan.”
In this world of pitch and catch, someone has to be the Mitt.

I just want to say that I like reading every post by you, now, as if your concluding statement is the quote in your signature.
I may start doing it for everyone.
DUDE, shut your ****ing stupid wife up pronto!CBS NEWS said:
No no no! I STRONGLY encourage both Ann and Mittens to keep talking, and in fact, talk more.
True true. Nobody going to vote for a pimp hand that weak.
