When Romney is in fact giving more to charity per year than Obama has made in a lifetime (minus his taxpayer paid salaries)! $5 million can organize a lot of community. Transparency at its best! Release apps/grades for a bunch of cash Last edited by dellinger63 : 10-28-2012 at 03:04 PM. |

If some liberal millionaire offered Romney 5 million dollars for any charity he wanted to tell people about his magical mystery tax plan that he repeatedly has refused to answer, would you advocate him doing it? Try and be honest when you answer. |

Even if he has every detail of his plan already laid out, that is not the plan we're going to get. The plan we're going to get will be the compromise he works out with democrats and republicans in the House and Senate. Candidates usually lay out their general plan, but not every detail, because they don't know every detail. Whatever details he does have of his current plan, he should make public. I think he's already done that. If he hasn't, then he should. If he has the plan and he won't release it, then I would say he obviously has something to hide. |

It's a simple question and doesn't require a wordy post where you try and act smart. |

![]() My answer was clearly "yes". He should release as many details of his plan as he knows, regardless of whether he gets paid or not.

![]() Speaking of Mitt Romney, he has "gone dark" for these last two weeks, refusing to speak to the press entirely. That means he's desperate not to make more gaffs in the last two weeks, and doesn't want to get caught out because he still has not revealed his taxes, nor explained how his disastrous financial "plan" can't work.
So this guy has managed to bully his way through a presidential, not revealing his income taxes (just enough to reveal he has massive tax havens and hidden income); no definitive plans for anything (only platitudes and generalities on his website); and has spent the past 2 weeks completely reversing every position he has taken during the campaign, in an appeal to "moderate" voters and while throwing the Republican platform under the bus, in a desperate attempt to gain power. Romney with Paul Ryan is so incompetent to be president it's not even laughable. It's terrifying. Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Mike Huckabee, Michelle Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin - they are all one and the same regarding presidential timber. Thank goodness, the last time we'll hear from this one is his concession speech Nov. 6. Then he's done with politics because "You People" anger his wife. Unlike Sarah Palin, Mittens won't be working at Faux. So ... Republicans 2016: Big. Fat. Nothing. on their bench.

This is similar only $5 million on the table for charity. What is the President hiding? In addition to the 'bumps in the road' that were left to die in Lybia. |

Which was apparently nothing at all. Because Trumps lies about that big Hawaiian investigator reveal died on the vine and he never spoke of those investigators again.

![]() Obviously the Mainstream Media is trustworthy and represents what this country stands for.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9WCnh0r44c That never happened. But lets get fu.cking heated when the conservative sites go off the ledge. You ***** liberals are going to gladly give up your guns...then your freedom of speech. Tell you what ***** Californian punk who is the shining example of the emasculation of white men in this country... You are nothing. A useful idiot for evil and darkness and you're too god-damned dense to realize it. Might as well move to Russia, punk. |

Whether anyone likes it or not...he's the President. Why does the President have to do something because Donald Trump is pressuring him to? And if he did agree to do it, wouldn't it open up the possibility for anyone with money to do what Trump is trying to do? where should it stop? Should the President jump through hoops anytime a guy with money requests something as long as he decides to donate the money for charity? Come on man. |

![]() Romney's Other Credibility Problem: Glenn Hubbard
Posted: 10/27/2012 8:50 am Mitt Romney has a credibility problem. He changes his beliefs like laundry (abortion, medical insurance, whether Bin Laden was worth killing, attacking Iran), refuses to disclose his tax returns, and won't explain how he could possibly pay for the tax cuts he proposes. But there is another scandal in Romney's campaign -- namely Glenn Hubbard, Romney's chief economic advisor, who was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under George W. Bush, and is now Dean of Columbia Business School. I interviewed Hubbard for my documentary film Inside Job, and analyzed his record again for my book Predator Nation. The film interview became famous because Hubbard blew his cool after I interrogated him about his conflicts of interest: "This isn't a deposition, sir. I was polite enough to give you time, foolishly I now see, but you have three more minutes. Give it your best shot." But the really important thing about Hubbard isn't his personality; it's that as an economist and an advisor, he is a total, unmitigated disaster. First, Hubbard has an abysmal track record in economic policy, including the very issues that Romney has made the pillar of his Presidential campaign. Second, like Romney, Hubbard refuses to disclose critical information about his income, conflicts of interest, and paid advocacy activities. Third, both in public statements and in my personal experience, Hubbard has been evasive, misleading, and even dishonest when discussing both policy issues and his own conflicts of interest. And last but not least, those conflicts of interest are huge: Hubbard has long advocated policies that Wall Street loves, often without disclosing that he is, in fact, highly paid by Wall Street. Let's start with tax cuts, since Romney claims that he can cut tax rates sharply without increasing the deficit, and without benefiting the rich. Mr. Romney claims that tax cuts will be fully paid for by closing loopholes and deductions, and will not add to the deficit; Hubbard has publicly supported Romney's claims. Interestingly, Mr. Hubbard has quite a record on this very issue. Shortly after becoming chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors in 2001, he spearheaded the Bush administration's tax cuts, and he said lots about them. How did that work out? First, we now know that over half of the benefits of the Bush-Hubbard tax cuts went to the top 1% of the population. In part to benefit the wealthy, the tax cuts were also structured to reward investment in financial assets, rather than either consumer spending or real capital investment. As a result, the tax cuts caused huge budget deficits, yet did little to stimulate growth or job creation: There were basically no new jobs created during the Bush administration, despite adding trillions to the national debt.

![]() I'll see if I can find anything about it in print. I heard it on CNN after one of the debates. When criticism about the lack of specifics came up about Romney's plan, one of the commentators said something to the effect of, "In fairness to Romney, he has released more details of his plan than candidates in the past and much more of a detailed plan than Obama gave in 2008." The reporter then referenced several other past Presidents and said that they did not give many specifics about their plan.
