Romney and Taxes

I will be the first to admit, Mitt is not my favorite for the GOP nomination (I don’t really have a favorite) but he is a stand up guy receiving a great deal of grief for being nothing more than successful.    In order to clear the air, Mitt released his tax returns…and  what did they tell us?

Picture from  Bloomberg Media

1.  Mitt is very successful.  A great trait by any stretch.  Success, if I am not mistaken,

is encouraged in America (unless you are already successful which in that case you are disdained).

2.  Mitt gives a sh*tload of money to charities.

How terrible!  Media Unite!  Mr. Romney obviously should not be allowed to accumulate such fortune and such success.  And charity!  What a waste of good potential tax dollars.  Those funds should be given to the government, no question.  They could manage that money much better than some charity.  In fact, Mitt should turn over at least 99% of his wealth to the government and pay his fair share.  Find a nice 1 bedroom apartment and live like the rest of us poor sinners.

The government clearly is better at managing wealth.  Just compare Mr. Romney’s financials to the governments.
