Romney tax returns

Now that they have been released, you wonder what the big deal is. The most striking line item on his taxes is $7 million in charitable donations over the last 2 years. That's a ton of cash to be giving away.....no matter what side of the aisle you are on you can't deny that is extremely generous.

Isn't a 10% tithe standard for LDS members?

Pretty cool that he's in the same tax bracket as me and none of his kids live at home. I guess we already have that flat tax!

Having our taxes done this weekend.
Wife never lets me buy any guns with our returns
Then women wonder why most of us only pay with cash at Wolf's Den

What sticks out to me in this whole debate over Romney's tax returns is the reason that this is even an issue. Obama has set things up so that he is one of the "evil rich guys". Not so long ago, in 1974, the tax return of Nelson Rockefeller was also a campaign issue.

Korologos still remembers what Rockefeller, the grandson of America's richest man, told him when he started the vetting.

"I've got something to worry about," grimaced Rockefeller.

The former New York governor, Korologos soon learned, didn't want to publicly reveal his personal financial picture.

"His concern," the vetter discovered, "was that when it became public, he wasn't going to be as rich as everybody thought he was."

Now, there's some change you can believe in.
