“On their radar”? Ya think? Bureaucracy works the same all over the world, don’t make trouble, don’t make waves. You’re gonna fuck with the guy who has a battalion of lawyers, so your supervisors get tangled up in shit, and start giving you the stink eye?
You gonna mess with him? Or the guy who tried to charge his session at the Happy Ending Massage Studio as physical therapy? You want that promotion, or you want your integrity?
I told you to shut up about that!
Shit! Tell your Mom I’m sorry, I just forgot…
Maybe you should just go fuck yourself with a splintered stick.
If my posts annoy that dickweed, he should put me on ignore. Simple as that. And you’re stupid enough to call me a dense fuck for stating that obvious fact. Bless your soul.
If that’s what you meant, then that’s what you should have typed. But you didn’t.
Because you’re dumb as half a box of rocks. It really is typical of you; you type something, and it ends up being ass-backwards to what you actually meant and ends up making you look like a retarded monkey sniffing his own shit covered fingers.
When called on your stupidity, you howl and try to fling your feces, but end up simply smearing yourself with your own filth.
But keep up the good work, you worthless shit-encrusted waste of skin.
Never did respond to this post, Clothy.
You haven’t made my ignore list yet. Thus far, bricker has it to himself.
To which the obvious rejoinder is posting this. It’s just painstakingly obvious: the rich will be able to invest in financial instruments or sequester money with no governmental involvement, while those spending a plurality or a majority of their income on amenities will shoulder a greater proportion of the tax burden. The “FairTax” would be more regressive in effect than even a flat tax with no qualifiers, which is saying something. Its proponents could have had the decency to name it the “Job Creating Tax”, so that its partisanship would be more readily apparent.
Did Nancy’s mother release 12 years of tax records to disprove any allegations of such when she ran for minority leader? No? Then shove your false equivalence into a nondeductible IRA contribution.

Telling other posters to fuck themselves is a violation of the Pit’s language rules. Please avoid doing this in the future.

That would take some doing 
I’m just happy that we have a solid precident now. I mean, sure, every presidential candidate in the last 40 years has released his tax returns, but now that Mitt has said, “not me, motherfuckers,” at least when the next Democratic presidential candidate refuses to release his, no Republicans will criticize him, or accuse him of hiding anything. That will happen, right?
I mean … you gotta look on the bright side of things.

No - you do it by not exploiting every last loophole and structuring your finances to exploit them.
Really? Well, gee, it’s a shame you can’t read for comprehension worth a damn, isn’t it?
I love it. You fuck up like a goat in heat, then call me names. Jesus fucking Christ, you make a moron look like a bloody genius.
Please go sit in the corner and wank in silence while the adults converse.
These adults that are conversing? Your wording implies that you count yourself among them?
Yeah Obvama was a pussy for letting the Bush tax cuts roll over for another two years. He was also a pussy on Wall street reform.
He was bold on wall street bail outs (like he should have been) but he seems to be bold only if it doesn’t hurt really rich people. I mean for fuck’s sake, giving people amnesty just before the Swiss banks were about to tell us who was hiding money in swiss bank accounts was a bit of undeserved mercy wasn’t it?
Where is his 2009 tax return?
I think it is clear to everyone taht Romney makes a lot of money and pays relatively low tax rates. I think he could blunt that issue in a week if he just released his tax returns (it would still be emblematic of the fucked up distribution of the tax burden but noone would personally fault him for it if he stopped complaining about the unjust tax burden on the wealthy).
There is a conservative tax lawyer that poss on these boards. I’d like to know if HE thinks that Romney isn’t hiding something.
The entire point behind hiding money in swiss bank accounts was that the IRS couldn’t find it. And frankly considering how executives many treat at the money or slightly out of the money stock options contributed to IRAs, there are some issues in my mind about whether he didn’t push the bounds of the law.
Well, then let me repeat it. Mitt Romney has lied about his tax returns before. He didn’t underpay federal icnome taxes but he claimed to be a Utah resident for state income tax purposes while claiming to be a Massachussetts resident to determine whether he met the residency requirements to run for governor.
The tax year people are most interested in is 2009, McCain doesn’t have that. The amnesty isn’t part of your regular tax return, it is filed separately and becomes part of your tax return. Noone but Romeny and the IRS needs to even know that there even was an amnesty and the IRS doesn’t have a lot of leaks, especially in cases like this.
Its not even hearsay. Its a double dog dare, Reid knows his source is unreliable and so do we.
Its not that he’s rich, its that he is rich and thnks that the rich are overtaxed.
This is a central issue. In case you haven’t noticed, the distrubution of the tax burden has been central for over a decade.
Not only is Romney propsing to extend the current distribution of the tax burden indefinitely, his VP has proposed reducing his tax rate to near zero by eliminating taxes on invenstment income.
Noone is saying that Romney should have paid more than he was legally obligated to, they are saying that he thinks his legal ly obligated taxes are too low and the rest of us are just like “WTF!!!”
Thats because you are trying to hear things in the worst possible way.
When she runs for president, I will want her to rease her tax returns as well.
Because he has an obscene amount of money in his IRA and there is no real likely set of circumstance that explain how that money got there unless he undervalued his contributions to his IRA.
Yeah but do they think that they should pay a lower rate when they do?
We know his IRAs are really large. We know that he has foreign bank accounts. Its not reasonable suspicion but the fact that he is refusing to release his tax returns should make you suspicious.
So if he was hiding money in Switzerland, the IRS should have known about that? And no, rich people are not always under continuous audit.
I never understood this. I can tell them to go fuck a monkey but not themselves?
How is that good in any way? You really want Democrats to be able to hide their financial history?
As others point out, it’s the policies he advocates that are the problem. He’s a Poster child for the truth that the rich are under-taxed, yet wants to lower their taxes further.
And BTW, though I don’t know if you joined that fracas, control-z, when Mr. Warren Buffett advocated higher taxes on the rich, the right-wing shrieks were the opposite of what we hear now: “what kind of idiot would pay more taxes than they legally have to” transmuting into “how can you advocate higher taxes without paying the higher amount voluntarily?” :smack: :smack:
And, there is a difference between filling out 1040 with an eye to minimizing taxes and twisting the laws however possible, but barely avoiding prosecution. I’ve linked to a discussion of Romney’s tax tricks in the past, and would link again but I find it highly unlikely control-z would be interested.
Finally, can I say again that present American right-wing “thinking” reminds me of certain middle-class Thais who supported the present P.M.'s brother? That man bilked the Thai treasury out of many millions of dollars for his personal enrichment, but when I point this out to his supporters, they respond “Yes, we know. That proves he’s smart and smart is good.”
Don’t let anyone ever tell you you’re not a master at the art of sarcasm.
