So in Riot's brave new world liberals don't need to concern themselves with such inconvenient things such as proof, all they need to do is to throw out accusations backed by some anonymous source and the accused then has the burden to prove himself innocent. This is straight out of her liberal master David Axelrod's play book. Of course, Riot would be the first person to run to her idol Obama's defense if the opposite happened. Many, with good reason, are saying that Obama's intelligence is vastly overstated by the lackey MSM media. Obama could easily clear that up by releasing his college transcripts right Riot?

Harry Reid is a corrupt, filthy, lying criminal. He made the accusation let him provide the proof. It is obvious why Obama choose Reid to make the disgusting accusation as Reid just started his last Senate term and thus no matter how much he lies, he never has to face voter's again.

Hey Bob, another key word..what's your take?:tro:

Yes PD welcome - but beware of the dumb and dumber posts

Welcome back B B, I mean PD

Obama isn't an American citizen!
Obama is Kenyan!
Obama was raised in a madrassa!
Obama is Muslim!
The birth certificate is fake!
The newspaper announcements are fake!
The Governor of Hawaii lied!
Where's the grades?
Obama got into three colleges through affirmative action!

BWWAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA :D :tro:

Yeah, but not one person remembers ever seeing him at any of those colleges...how bout that:rolleyes:

You mean, even those photos in the yearbook are faked? His writings in Law Review? His attendance at graduation Cum Laude? Wow, what an evil conspiracy they planned 55 years ago, to make this black man President of the United States!

People saw him plenty at Harvard, he also got plenty of parking tickets he never paid until entering the Senate. That's what people who think they're above society do.

It's his days at Excellsior (sp) and Columbia that people don't know him. No pictures, no classes etc. Perhaps this is the reason he has refused to release his transcripts as using the 'Mitt theory' he must be hiding something.

If it's merely mediocre grades how in the heck did he get into Harvard? So that likely isn't what's being hid.

For the good of the American people I personally think Romney needs to release his taxes and Obama (the transperant) one needs to release his transcripts. Then let the voters decide.

BTW Does everyone know Jesse Jackson Sr. was KICKED out of the University of Illinois Urbana for cheating? God must have told him to do it.

:tro:

Also we need to know how Romney can accumulate 100 Million in his IRA.

Wonder why the IRS hasn't come forth and charged him ? He is obviously doing all these illegal activities and trying to hide them by not disclosing them to the public.

We should all be asking the IRS to come clean with the evidence and stop protecting Mitt.















:rolleyes:

Certainly if Romney is breaking any Federal Tax Laws he should be prosecuted to the full extent. If not then the tax code needs to be changed.

IRA-401K's etc. were all designed to promote tax free savings. If true, Mitt has taken it to a whole new level. While I don't think investment income should be taxed at the same rate income is, it shouldn't be tax free.

Look America has also purported itself as fair, where everyone is equal. Decide on a percentage and instill a flat tax with personal contributions to IRA/401K's capped at say $10K. No deductions. Married or not moot, investment income or not moot.

At a 20% flat tax with a contribution of 10% of salary allocated into a IRA/401K. The following scenarios would pan out:

Individual A: $22K in income 7K individual deduction (I think should be lower)
and $2.2K put into an IRA leaves a taxable income of $12.8K. At 20% individual A would pay $1,560 in taxes. An effective rate of 7%.

Individual B: $50K in income, putting away $5K, leaves a taxable income of $38K. At 20% they would pay $7,600. An effective rate of 15.2%

Mitt: 200 million in income putting away the max $10K and the $7K individual deduction leaves him with $199,983,000 in taxable income and a $39,966,000 tax bill. An effective tax rate of 20%.

Mitt's payment would equal 27,000 individual A's and 5,000 individual B's.

Besides we could get rid of more than half the IRS and free up Federal courts for useful cases, like suing the States of Arizona and Florida.
:zz:

401k's aren't tax free, they're tax deferred. ira's can be done either with after tax dollars, or tax deferred. but none of them are tax free.
and a flat tax would be a huge whammy on the lower income folks, and a huge break for upper income.

You used a lot of words to not answer the question How the **** does someone's IRA account get to 100 Million dollars given the limits currently set in place? Hey I want to know.

Then he can shut this nonsense down in a second by coming clean and showing his taxes. He refuses so in the court of public opinion he comes across as hiding something.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Romney doesn't have close to a hundred million in a IRA.

Substitute birth certificate/college transripts for taxes and go back 4 years.

Oh my!

If his IRA, like mine, (redboard alert!!) had been very heavily invested in SIRI at .08/share and LULU at 28.50/share (pre-split) it could show that kind of growth.
We will never know what is actually in there though so speculation is pointless. Perhaps after Mitt loses Obama will create a Romney czar to see what he does to earn and how he spends all that money.

how does anyone know what romney has in his ira?

Media Speculation just like everything else we are discussing without knowing the facts.

:D

gotcha.


you'd think the media would be better served just by reporting things that don't require speculation. how much money romney has means nothing to citizens in general, it doesn't have an affect on us. but his thoughts on taxes, spending, bank regulations are important. surely they could focus on that?


naaaa...we have a society that enjoys fluff, not serious stuff.
