(52,489 posts)he's nothing but the logical product of the ridiculous "incentives" congress has put in for the rich.
congress refuses to tax money parked overseas until repatriated, so rmoney keeps his money offshore.
congress taxes labor income at the highest rate and taxes dividends and capital gains at the lowest, so rmoney doesn't have a job but lets his money do all the work.
in the name of reducing the number of homeless seniors, congress allowed virtually unlimited money to accumulate in retirement tax shelters, so rmoney found a way to stuff them full.
congress allowed people to "rent" a church's tax-exempt status so rmoney took advantage and gives himself a tax-advantaged annuity while leaving his church a pittance.
by any measure, rmoney reaps millions upon millions abusing the system and taking advantage of tax features in a way that either wasn't intended or wasn't intended to but overused in such a fashion.
he does, at every turn, whatever serves himself the best, consequences to others be damned.
he has the conscience (or lack thereof) of the worst kind of leader and it's a wonderful thing that he lost.

(21,925 posts)The sheer nerve of Romney disrespecting the American people compels me to want to see him permanently humiliated and disgraced, whether in or out of office.

His records will show which laws have to be changed or which loop holes need to be closed in order to prevent the rich from cheating and finagling on their taxes. We'd learn a lot about outsourcing money too.
