Does Romney have more money for his horse than you do for your family?

1. Yes!

His tax credit for the fucking horse is more money than what I have for my family. But then again I was born to be a worker bee in this capitalist hive.

2. Well, sure. But...

...the horse is a better dancer.

12. and his horse dresses better than I do.

It takes me two YEARS to earn the same amount he WRITES OFF every year. And that was before I got laid off and outsourced to India.

3. Of course, no question

For me this shows how unfair the tax system is. I knew it was regressive, favoring the rich but I had no idea how regressive.

5. I keep wonderiing, I he gets a 77,000 deduction on the horse, what is he SPENDING on the horse?

So there's the related question: "Does Mitt Romney spend more on his horse than you do on your family?"

And WHY THE HELL is there a tax deduction?

[sinkingfeeling]

6. He took a $77,000 tax deduction for his horse. Does anybody here get that

kind of deduction?

[Redford]

7. I have 5 horses

and I do not get any kind of tax exemption.....

8. If you kept horses as some sort of "business" like the Rmoneys, you could deduct the expenses

to offset income from the horses.

Most horse operations are money losers, so calling them a business always gets IRS attention.

9. Yes, yes he does

He probably spends 10 times what I earn in a year on the horse, maybe more.

His disgusting greed is something Americans should be speaking out about.

[SDjack]

10. He has so much going on to screw us, why does he need to be president? nt

[Marrah_G]

11. Because he is greedy, power hungry and vain

He was never gov of Mass because he wanted to serve the people of Mass. He started running for President as soon as he took office.

13. His tax deduction for his horse was more than that

I'm trying to figure out how I can pimp out my dogs to get me some of that tax refund money.
