Dear Mr. Romney

Posted: September 23, 2012 - 9:49pm

Dear Mr. Romney

We citizens need to see your tax returns so we too can figure out how to starve our government. I’m impressed that you are returning us to “survival of the fittest” principles that guided our nation for the first 150 years. If we, under your leadership, can dismantle social programs in the U.S.A. in favor of building schools, hospitals and roads in the Middle East over the next several decades then I say “bravo!” I also like your idea of building up our military so we can “bomb, bomb Iran” as Sen. McCain so eloquently sings.

We, like you need to know hat tax exemptions, loopholes, etc., to use so we can use our own money for private schools, nannies, mansions, luxury cars, yachts, three-story garages, private golf courses and so much more.

Some of us don’t want to be commoners anymore. Public parks are crowded. Public schools are failing. Rusted cars and “sinking boats” abound.

My fellow commoners are lazy, dependent riff-raff that I no longer wish to help or associate with.

As a bonus, maybe we can starve social security, medicare, medicaid, public schools, our national parks, our infrastructure, our police, and fire departments, our counties, our cities and especially poor people.

I for one, want to be a part of your aristocracy, meritocracy, plutocracy or whatever. I will even be your limo driver. It must pay better than a job at WalMart.

Why are you withholding your tax returns? How can we be like you if we don’t know how you became rich and successful?

I want to separate myself from common, ordinary, ever day life, live in a gate community and hire security personnel to fend off the riff raff when they come to steal my food. Help!

Bruce G. Femling

Romney Invested In Chinese Company

Doesn't Mr. Romney criticize the policies of China, but his family trust is caught investing in a Chinese oil company?

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/21/romneys-family-trust-inves...

Hmm....another issue about Romney's suitability to be President. Does Romney need another reset?

How many more bad weeks can Romney withstand? Those debates will be critical, especially for the Mittster.

Or perhaps we could have Obama give us a lecture on...

...astrophysics.

Remember this gem from Audacity of Hope:

"[I] came to appreciate how the earth rotated around the sun and the seasons came and went without any particular exertions on my part."

Sorry Barry, but the earth REVOLVES around the Sun. It ROTATES on its axis. And maybe when he's done with his lecture, he can give us an update on whether he plans on giving back his Nobel Peace prize now that the Middle East is aflame thanks to his amateur geo-political engineering.

Obama's taxes are online for 12 years.

So are Joe Biden's.

Enjoy perusing them!

Not his "Known" money southie.

The money he didn't declare when the Saudi's paid for his college. That was declarable income and not a scholarship.
Kinda like an overseas investment by the Muslims........
It seems to be paying off for the Muslim brotherhood.

I did enjoy perusing them, Southie...

...could you explain what the $260,000+ foreign tax credit was on Form 1116 on Obama's last return? Looks like a fairly sizable foreign investment to me...

Try google,

it has the answer. You will retain it better if you do your own research.

And some who probably do

secretly live off some of the government progams, wax eloquently about how nasty those who don't live off them are and persecute them. I believe it's a form of reverse jealousy brought on by guilt. A way to make sure no one focuses on their own neediness is to divert attention.

Romney's right about the 47%...

...but he's wrong about why that percentage won't vote for him. A sizable portion of the 47% who will never vote for him are those pay no federal income taxes, but there are certainly people who pay no federal income taxes who will vote for him. But there are plenty of cultural Democrats who don't share the Democratic lust for the blood of innocent babies and free birth control who will never, ever, vote for a Republican, even if he was the Messiah and were running against the Prince of Darkness, himself. For these people, voting for a Republican is a visceral aversion akin to eating dog in our country (which, curiously, is an aversion our current President doesn't share).

Old Farm Boy

Yes this is the kind of Medic you get under Obamacare and any other healthcare, one who treats you as a human being even though your a moron, still takes you in even if you did something stupid or cant pay, and doesn't then throw it in your face for your poor life choices on what caused your situation. Attack what I do for a living, as usual you aren't smart enough to do anything else, but believe me when I say, If Romney or Ryan were a medic, you would have to have cash before you got in, and if you didn't, he would just give you a lecture about how you're probably one of those 47% Leeches. I do what I do because I enjoy helping people, irregardless of their race, religion, political opinion or any other reason. I do it because its what I believe in, not what fox news tells me should be right. Oh wait, if Romney becomes president, we probably wont have EMS, Fire, or Police to come out to your farm, sorry guess you will be on your own. Good Luck! Oh and are you really a farmer??

A report Monday by Avalere Health says

Seniors enrolled in seven of the 10 most popular Medicare prescription drug plans will be hit with double-digit premium hikes next year. Back in August, officials had announced that the average premium for basic prescription drug coverage will stay the same in 2013, at $30 a month. Also almost all seniors pay the Part B premium for outpatient care; Part B premium it is expected to rise next year as well.

Part D increases

First health 2012. $25.10. No co-pays for most, no deductible

First Health 2013. $27.10 same coverage.

Medica supplement 2012-2013: $79/month, no changes

Check around, plans vary. And no monthly double digit increases in these plans.

Humana went up 12% but their benefits increased accordingly.

Great discussion.....kinda

Isn't it funny?....Everyone here would like to have Romney's walk in life. (Look at how many powerball tickets are sold every week) and then when a decent American success story runs for office to put some of his skill to work to try to right a sinking ship all the WHINERS come out of the woodwork. Some of you are correct - we need to turn our backs on America and just let the communists, marxists, muslim brotherhood, cokeheads have our country. Then we can go down to Fort Snelling Cemetery once a year and pee on the graves of all those patriots who gave their blood for our freedoms. Maybe pull the crosses out while you're there so we quit offending Ahmadinajab and the ACLU..... It's so lazy and disgusting when you fail to figure this president out!

First off, I highly doubt a 3

First off, I highly doubt a 3 mile trip would ever cost 7 grand, but I guess you know more, well obviously you do. So don't call, take care of yourself, you probably know more about the medical field too. Not even sure why you would call 911 for a stubbed toe, must be that elitist Republican side needing to be chaperoned around in a big nice vehicle to gain attention. Maybe its to give your neighbors something to talk about that poor poor mistreated old farmer. Don't want help, don't call. There are plenty of people out there who do want and need help, and I am happy to serve them. You're ignorance about the subject only shows you shouldn't be talking about it.
