Rmoney Is Screwed Either Way With His Tax Return Fiasco.

[Ikonoklast]

If he refuses to disclose them, he will be accused of hiding something, which of course he is, and if he does disclose them, he is going to incriminate himself as he has been lying all along about the time frame concerning his control of Bain Capital, and the set-up of his so-called 'blind trusts'.

I think the Obama campaign knows exactly what is happening, they are well aware of the time frames involved, and they are letting Mittens slowly twist in the wind, just waiting for the timing to click into place.

Mittens has been gaming the system all along, and his desperate bid to be president just might cost him more than a loss at the polls, it might cost him a loss of millions of dollars.

1. I suspect that one of the nasty little secrets is

that Mittwit paid fundamentally no US taxes for years thanks to all of his offshore cash stashes. A guy worth hundreds of millions paying functionally zero taxes in the country where he made all his money will go down with a lot of voters like a Virginia ham at a Passover seder.

Disclose and he's screwn, keep it secret and it makes him look even more dishonest than he almost certainly is.

6. The box he put himself in looks a lot smaller from the inside.

And it is getting smaller by the minute.


The Obama campaign people will use this to their great advantage.

"Mitt Rmoney paid ZERO taxes over the last ten years by hiding his money in Swiss bank accounts, and lying on his tax returns about his control of Bain Capital and blind trusts. How much did you pay in taxes in those last ten years, Mr. and Mrs. America?"

"Mitt Rmoney doesn't have to pay taxes because he sends his money to the Cayman Islands, but he wants your taxes to go up if you work for a living and earn a paycheck. Is this who you want running our country, a tax cheat?"

2. I'm sure his tax returns, if revealed, will show he paid at a 90% rate on income

I just know it. Democrats will have egg on their faces.

3. LOL!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. Huh?

What makes you say that?


If Mittens has nothing to hide (or embarrass Democrats with), then.....................?

[Ikonoklast]

14. I see. Mitt is playing the "Possum Gambit".

Just biding his time, waiting, then...

Boom!
It all blows up in his face!


Wait a minute, that's not how it's supposed to work.


He's fucked.

5. I bet his investments include betting AGAINST the U.S., a terrible thing for a Presidential nominee.

7. I wish I could feel comfortable about this, but looking back

at the days after Obama was sworn in and The Turtle (McConnell) stated the Republican goal about making Obama a one term president, too much has happened. I look at the Republican governors turning down "Obamacare", Medicaid, refusing to pass any good laws, passing state laws that would decimate voting in this country, and they think nothing of lying to to country. They have caused the country to come to a standstill. They have done that for almost 4 years and they are not through. They are the Party of Mean and will stop at nothing to gain control of all of us. I have never seen anything like it happening in our country before. Our votes must be counted.

8. Not to mention the tens of millions lost by his fellow billionaire backers.

I'd rather take a juicy steak away from a pit bull than deprive a billionaire of a buck.

[Ikonoklast]

15. They don't that kind of coin away for free.

They expect, no, they DEMAND a return on that investment.

Mitt's campaign is turning into the "Never Do Business With A Mormon If You Aren't a Mormon Because You're Gonna Get Screwed" type of deal.

9. Stand back...he's gonna blow

and the mess will be glorious.

Mitt deserves every morsel of blowback
that comes his way.

[Woody Woodpecker]

10. Indictments are awaiting....

Once Robme releases his taxes.

Every single penny will be audited to the hilt.

And will find monkey business, and therefore, indicted.

[democrat_patriot]

13. Just like all those wall street bankers.

But it would be nice. Who would indict? Everyone would be labelled as an Obama appointee and it would just be written off as politics.

Best I can hope for is a lawsuit by the investors who thought he was either running/not running Bain and gave them money. Fraud is fraud.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. Even further...

The GOP/Tea Party platform is that Obama is taxing people to death.

If Romney paid very little or no taxes over the last several years, it quickly deflates that point. Romney can't very well go on the campaign trail and speak about how high taxes are strangling "job creators" when he's using the Leona Helmsley signature edition of TurboTax.

[Segami]

12. Cough, cough LOL!

[Ikonoklast]

16. Hmmm. Thus should be expanded into an OP.

Good thought, there.

How can the so-called "Job Creators" be complaining about high taxes WHEN THEY DON'T PAY ANY??

[JohnnyRingo]

24. Have at it.

I'm heading out for the day.

Romney is compalining how a 3% increase on nothing will somehow upset "job creators" and lead them to cut employees. I can see Pizza Hut telling customers to go elsewhere for a calzone because the CEO wants in a lower income bracket.

[get the red out]

17. Won't the media just ignore it?

It has to actually be discussed to screw him up.

[Ikonoklast]

18. They might not have to.

Overheard while standing in line to pay for coffee, two old duffers talking about Rmoney not paying any taxes because of his Swiss Bank accounts.

When the 'Little People' are taking notice, it won't matter what the media does.

[get the red out]

20. I like that thought

That might be the one thing that could overcome the massive campaign money supporting Romney, let's hope anyway. With the media as it is, and after Citizen's United, I had started giving up on democracy in this country.

[panader0]

19. As a fellow DUer mentioned yesterday, this may be happening too soon.

He may be out of the running even before the GOP convention.
If he tanks, and I think he will, the GOP is fucked. Is there even a remote posibility that the GOP could run a different candidate?

[Ikonoklast]

22. "Hi there!"

"Someone mention my name?"

[NightWatcher]

21. nothing will come of this, but Obama still might be a Kenyan Muslim

we dont pay attention to real problems, issues, or crimes, just crap that is spewed on tv and radio to a frothy bunch of idiot followers

Mark my words, Mittens will not have to answer for any of this. He will counter with negative tv ads that are based on falsehoods and his super pacs will propagate other falsehoods and name calling.

23. Eliot Spitzer has the knowledge, moxy and motivation to

find out what is and isn't true re the SEC filings.
