This isn't going to be a question of whether Romney's actions were legal or proper, but rather on the question of whether they were fair or just in relation to what others have had to pay in taxes. The question of his residence and his voting location isn't important to the average American, but few will take kindly to a multi-millionaire paying 1% or 2% in taxes, while they pay 25% or more. Using tax deductable donations in the millions of dollars is also something that most people won'r relate to, and much of that went to the Mormon church (don't get me started on that).

Romney paid an estimated $6.2 million in federal income taxes. According to his 2010 return, Romney paid about $3 million to the IRS. The couple gave away $7 million in charitable contributions.
Now compare that with most of America that dont pay into the system at all, it is clear the rich like Romney are paying everyones fair share and giving to charity.

Lets face it, Government has a spending problem not a revenue problem. Goverment just pissed away billions in a few years and now we are all stuck with the bill.

Mr Hand, I made over $150,000.00 on year and legally paid nothing. It's not right and it wasn't something I tried to arrange but if a small farmer can do it just on new equip. and buildings how many years do you think some really rich guy and his accountent could do. Romney himself when running for Sen. called for Kennedy to release 3 years. Now I think Pres. ought to be worth 6 years.

Polls show Romney will win by a landslide. America is sick of what government has just done to the economy and debt.
They could collect every penny from all the sucessful people in America and it still wouldn't repay what Obama wasted.
Most of the green energy stimulus went to foreign companies.
The money borrowed that was supposed to help home owners , sent to Obama's banker friends and foreign bankers.

This is to show that Romney is in the top one percent earners in America..


America would know how much this man makes and his worth...


Exactly....

This is about denegrating romney for being successful..its about showing everybody how "rich" he is and villifying
him for it...

Its not gonna work timj...youre still going to be poor at the end of the day regardless of what romneys checkbook looks like...

If you wanna live in america you hav 2 make your own way tim.. U cant be stealing it from others tim.

And we wonder why rich people hide money...
