Romney did nothing wrong

He is within all the rules of this country. But that's what's wrong!! The rules have been made by the 1%, and they are f'd up. Most average non political people dont know how this works, they just blame who the politicians tell them to blame. For once the American people can see the truth. The 1% are screaming that their tax rate is too high, I bet Romney paid 0 for a year or 2. If anything I hope this let's people see the way things really are. They make the rules and we lose.

13. If eveything comes out and we understand everything about where Romney is coming from

and we have a thorough debate on the issues, then this could be a definitive election in U.S. history, one that will affect how most Americans see this country for years to come. Romney is the one candidate who defines the 1% and makes this debate possible.

He most likely didn't do anything that was illegal, but it looks bad in the current climate.

I don't know of anyone that voluntarily pays more taxes than they owe.

"Romney did nothing wrong"

...that's debatable, depending on whether or not one consider lying and/or perjury as "wrong."

Yes, Romney Perjured Himself

So technically, he may have broken no laws, but what he has done is still wrong.

14. Yes, but looks like he's done some illegal things.

He either lied to the FEC, the SEC, the IRS, etc. That is not legal. Sadly, he told a different story to everyone, and now he has to decide which story is the least damaging to his campaign. And yes.. it can still be illegal.

Thats where I was really going with this. I hear middle class people repeating the talking points, about corp paying too much tax, "that's what's wrong with this country". People buy this shit, I hope this election opens their eyes to the truth, they pay nothing and want to take what little you have left. Hopefully people will wake up from all of this. We couldn't ask for a better candidate to run against right now, he's not a fundy, he's is the poster boy of what's happened to this country. Are they that that arrogant or clueless to put him up there.
