Harry Reid was Right Romney Avoided Paying Taxes for 15 Years

[Zaphod]

never said it was.....

if govt took control of companies and owned them, then yeah it would be straight up socialism. govt tries to control and run businesses by passing laws telling them how to run their companies. it's close to socialism but not technically socialism. it's govt control of companies, just not a total takeover, yet......

My original question about how US healthcare is socialist was to Jay Steel, but you answered, implying you think it is socialism by asking why government should tell businesses how to operate. Just like most people in the US you don't know what socialism is.

Romney Avoids Taxes via Loophole Cutting Mormon Donations - Bloomberg

This is what john sununu really meant when he said, " this president should learn how to act like an American".

you want govt to control every aspect of every business, that's disgusting, but i know you want a socialist govt. so no surprise there.

and where exactly did I say that?

when you borrow monies from a bank to take a loan out to buy a car they have several explicit rules that you must follow, well same principle. those rules differ depending on the type and size of the business. if you think the federal gov tells businesses and corporation how they must run their day to day operations you have obviously never worked in either, owned or operated one at any level because that statement couldn't be further from reality.

What in the hell makes you think that you are special enough not be killed by rebel "suppression" ? Bro, you are just as much of a piece of dirt under their shoe as the poor are. They got billions, your bank account and Tyrone's look the same to them. U bout to find yoself round dem parts u kno notn of, welcome.

why because I believe in the constitution and both parties are basically ruining our country with both of their ideological of what our country needs. I voted for Romney, because I am 100% against Obama. I choice my vote based on what ever is going to get him out of office. If you feel comfortable with both parties fucking you over then that is your decision. Maybe I should refine my statement take out people abusing welfare and corp greed.

This is a democracy, our government should never have the ability to dictate what takes place. Which is what is happening. Every thing that Obama is passing is just chipping away from our rights, Now do not get this confused I never said Romney is our savior, but I believe if you fail for four years no matter what party you are in you do not deserve a second chance.

Lams response: you can't change 30 years of economic corruption in 4 years.

He knew this as well, but he still insisted he could lessen the debt in 4 yrs. Instead its grown dramatically. He should have never said he would lower it in 4 yrs. That being said, i don't recall a single president that would stop spending. period.

Is there anyone in this discussion, givin the chance to have Millions of dollars, that can honestly tell me that if they were rich they would not do everything possible to NOT pay taxes to a the Government?

Fucking get real people!

it's all starting to make sense now...obama loses and dems riot across the country...martial law is imposed and quickly the FEMA prison camps (later will be death camps in the global depopulation attempt) will fill up...the stockpiles of vaccines stored at ft knox where the gold used to be that's now with the muslim brotherhood will be heavily guarded and the people will become "zombie"-like wandering toward trying to get the vaccines...so the zombie apocalypse just might be true...

a lot of what taxes go for benefits the wealthy just as much as the poor. in Maine we would be fucked without upkeep of our roads and bridges for instance.

as one that has an excess of money taxes have ZERO effect on my lifestyle and business decisions and I'm a poor rich person. people with hundreds of millions and billions, paying taxes is like pocket change to them. when you can literally buy anything you want or need and prices become meaningless so are taxes.

but then again I'm also not a greedy dick that wants as much money as possible to fill my house full of crap that doesn't change the quality of my life one bit.

most people who brag about their money usually don't have much.

For Christ's sake I can have a corporation in GA and open a LLC in SC and save tons of tax money in an aircraft acquisition. I know someone who did just that when he purchased a $12mil Hawker in SC and flew it right back to its new hangar in GA.

Tax shelters aren't exclusive to foreign countries.

"The 36-year-old George P. recently started St. Augustine Partners, a small oil and gas investment and consulting firm in Dallas."
I wonder why he would move to run for office so quickly after starting a firm...apart from the obvious future run for President of course.

did I mention numbers no, I stated I have an excess as words like rich and poor are subjective. to somebody like Mitt I'm just as poor as the person that collects welfare checks, just like he is poor compared to guy's like Gates and Buffet, etc. and the last people in the world I would ever care about impressing are idiots like yourself who don't 't seem to know much about anything or anybody on the internet for that matter. I don't even enjoy making people like you look stupid because it's just too easy.

I personally wouldnt pay 1 cent into taxes if I didn't have to no matter how much money I had. Also if I was a billionaire fuck yea, I would have off shore accounts you never know when this country is going to take a shit and you have to get the fuck out and don't want to lose your ass. His moral obligation to paying taxes may not be up to par with what people think is right or wrong, but if every thing was legal then who gives a fuck.

I give a fuck.
If those high worth individuals don't want to pay taxes that in-part fund a trillion dollar defense budget that provides for a common defense of the United States then they can get the hell out of the country.
They don't deserve to live here and have their sorry ass and wealth protected by and defended by a military that is paid for by other peoples taxes.
