I don’t think I see anyone here defending corporate welfare, which costs taxpayers approximately $100 billion per year.

Actually I did address this in a previous post, not to defend “corporate welfare” but to point out that there are other considerations besides postponement of tax revenues. Your link looks interesting but at 20 pages I don’t have time to read it now.

Maybe though we could get back to the thread…Paul Ryan…remember him? I’ve been as guilty of going off topic but am resolving not to continue down more rabbit trails.

You make valid points. I agree. The tax rates are much lower though. No one has refuted that. Everybody knows all the shady characters put their money is Swiss bank accounts. Drug dealers, terrorist funders, big billionaires ect… so whatever.

Leaders of the democrat party, the Kennedys, and John Kerry…

Paul, when you were thinking about starting a new continuing thread of this topic once it was closed for being over the 1000 post mark, I said I would not be joining you on the new thread about this same topic. As far as the board I only know it is a reason why I have not worshiped in a Catholic Church for a few mos.

You base your worship of a God who died a hideous death on the Cross for my sins and yours on a message board? Is this a joke? If yes, I am sorry that I misunderstood you.

come on, refute the lower tax rate comment…somebody. I really don’t know for sure, that’s what I heard…anyone? Harvard the tax lawyer didn’t refute it. A man running for president should invest his money in the country he is running for…period.

Romney’s money was deposited into Swiss bank accounts after it was taxed in the USA.

methink you don’t understand how investments and taxation works so we cannot have a fruitful debate. 🤷

Actually I didn’t assume anything - but you are making wild assumptions that people care.

and you assume they don’t. Wild huh? Honestly, do you know anyone on assistance? Not attacking, genuinely curious!

I understand enough. It is legal, yet it is taking advantage of the system. I guess it’s ok for him though. Anyone else who might take advantage of legal ways to get through this system is baaaaad. But not Romney. He’s great!

I refuted it. Having money is a Swiss account does not result in a lower tax rate. Where did you ever get that idea.

How is he taking advantage of the system? He’s already paid taxes on the money in the Swiss bank account…

Because MSNBC and the rest of the main stream media told her. 😉

As Gobbels said, if you repeat a lie enough times…

But using that argument, I can not use after tax dollars to buy anything outside the US.

Romney “bought” a Swiss bank account. I buy Italian wines. Both of us use after tax dollars. No difference at all.

Well, OK, I would love to trade him my Italian wines for his bank account straight up.🙂

“The problem is almost everything appears to be on the table for Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, and other Republicans except raising tax rates on those most able to afford tax increases.”-quote from CMatt

CMatt…I’m not rich by any means…and I can’t not afford taxes increases…and yet if the Bush tax cuts are not kept…I will be paying a total of 52% of my pay to the government…52%! I am already on a forebarence on my student loans…not sure where the extra money is going to come from…so no…I can’t afford it.

As for everyone else. I do get where some people can be against the total Republican agenda…as some do not seem to care for the poor as much as they should–which is a Catholic teaching. HOWEVER that being said…yes Rommney/Ryan are a good pick and a much better choice then Obama…because they are pro-life!

Obamacare is a joke…seriously…I have to pay a $90 copay for asthma medication and yet people “deserve” free contraception? Come on!

I never said the Bush tax cuts should be eliminated now for someone not rich as yourself, Annabelle Marie. I firmly believe they should have been eliminated though long before now for those President Obama and the Democrats previously spoke of eliminating them for. I believe it was beginning at the quarter of a million dollars mark. But in any case it is the tax cuts for the wealthiest who can most afford an increase who I advocate increasing rates on.

I’m not at all completely satisfied with “Obamacare” myself but I believe it is better than the status quo. Annabelle Marie, it may be a joke to you but it is no joke to people with pre existing conditions who can not get health care insurance, or can not afford their premiums, co pays or deductibles. Or who do not have coverage thru their employer. Or who do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. It is no joke to the parents and their children who can remain on their parents’ health care insurance longer for some of the same reasons I already mentioned.

As far as Romney - Ryan being “pro life” we clearly have a difference of opinion as to what constitutes pro-life. In any case God bless along your faith journey and peace.

He will also pay taxes on any interest his money in the Swiss account earns. At the same tax rate he pays taxes on interest he earns in the US.

What are you talking about, and why are you personally calling me out on the forums?
