Really? Itâs not going to change my vote for Romney.
I imagine Bush and Cheney are still counting the billions they acquired during his administration. Itâs all in cash and being stuffed into boxes marked TOP SECRET, and addressed to the Bush Presidential Library.
Peace,

DeSanto since you quoted your entire post itâs not easy to respond line by line but here goesâŚwho is âSlim Shady?â As to the ârealâ Mitt Romney, he has lived a very consistent life, long marriage, great family, success in every endeavor in which he partakes. A reputation for solving problems, for being able to focus on problems, great integrity. What are you looking for? Maybe he bites his nails or dyes his hair? I canât figure out your objection other than its based on campaign rhetoric from the Dems.
The reason the tax returns are âa big dealâ is that the Dems have nothing to run on so they are creating a F.U.D. campaignâŚfear, uncertainty, and doubt instead of telling us about their accomplishments. I think Romneyâs a very private person who doesnât want the campaign to be based on a line by line analysis of his returns instead of the issues. Frankly given the hateful, cruel and irrelevant focus on various elements of the returns he disclosed, I donât blame him for saying this is it and no more.
As to why Romney puts money in a Swiss bank account, why do you presume there is something shady about it? As I think Denise posted, there are many in the Obama administration with money in foreign bank accounts. Many Americans have investments in foreign countriesâŚheck the Obama administration keeps sending our money overseasâŚcan we say Fiskar? Itâs clearly been disclosed so this is not exactly a secret. I just canât fathom your deep abiding interest in Romneyâs personal business. Is there anything in his life that would indicate heâs corrupt or dishonest?
Who cares if the rates are higher or lower now vis a vis prior years? High taxes are associated with stifled growth and tax avoidance schemes. Why do you believe high tax rates are a good thing? Are you aware that John Kennedy reduced taxes? And it proved to be hugely successful in improving the economy. Ditto with the Reagan tax cuts. Wouldnât we all like to be back in those days with low unemployment and a booming economy. Further while people donât resent paying taxes so much as they resent the money being wasted. Why should we feed the beast?
You may not be a Democrat but you regurgitate Democrat talking points. And I am sorry for the extra âsâ it was merely a typo. You seem to care a lot about really extraneous things that wonât create a single job or improve the lives of Americans.

**Matt 25:34-36 "Then the King will say to those on his right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.â **
**James 5:1-6
5:1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you. **
Unbelievable,Paul Ryan believes in a godless elitists society and considers selfishness a virtue. Anyone who accepts the GOP corporate takeover of America and what this means to America has down the research to have an informed opinion. If you are Catholic/Christian who cannot accept the platform of either party and must sit this election out. Just Google Paul Ryan and Ayn Rand
The Corporate socialism that has led to 6 trillion dollars in debt and world wide economic destruction throughout the world caused by the financial and banking industry. Corporations which receive tax incentives, subsidies, bailouts at taxpayers expense. Corporations which do not pay for the national defense of this country. Corporations which hide their profits in holding companies with trickle down economics to the Cayman Islands. Watch Frontline Inside the Meltdown. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meltdown/view/
Corporations that have outsourced Americaâs economy to a Communist country, Red China who will soon seek our destruction. Capitalism where maximizing profits and minimizing expenses require corporations to export all jobs to the lowest bidder in the biggest Ponzi scheme ever.
Where the elderly, the infirm, and children where be left starving to death in completion of genocide on the undesirables of societyâŚthose who are poor, sick and elderly.
With the election of Romney social unrest and anarchy will reign. Who will pay for all that.

So what? Why should anyone pay a dime more in taxes than he owes? Iâm a CPA and when I was in the Tax Department at AA&Co, we went through every possible way to LEGALLY reduce taxes. Why do you think this is either sinful or shady? Frankly if someone as sophisticated as Romney DIDN"T take advantage of tax provisions that reduce their liability Iâd wonder at his competence.
But hey if you donât believe any of us, how about the well respected Justice Learned Hand:
â**Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as
possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the
treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase oneâs taxes.
Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister
in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone
does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any
public duty to pay more than the law demands.â **
Think about it DeSanto, do YOU pay more taxes than you owe? Do you write a check to the IRS even if you donât owe any money because you think itâs the right thing to do?

Romney, Ryan, and many Catholics support Americaâs ongoing, unjust wars. Why? None of Americaâs wars meets standard of Catholic just war theory. The wars are criminal, and the people we have killed have been murdered in the eyes of God.

A subject worthy of debate, yet pales in comparison to the issue of abortion. A Catholic cannot vote for a pro-abortion candidate, period. Very simple.

First of all, thatâs not true. Second of allâŚyour comments are completely off topic of the thread. If youâd like to discuss the merits of Ron Paul vs Mitt Romney, you are more than welcome to begin your own thread on that topic. However, this is not the place to engage in this debate.
God bless.
