Romney's life at the top of the 1%

I wonder how many of those rich haters would just give up their mega lotto winnings since they hate wealth?

You clowns are truly amazing..ROMNEY never accepted public money for public service..A FACT.

How did Obama and Biden do in the last 6 years ?

crickets ?

 

It's interesting. Does Romney simply assume (realistically) that he won't have any specific house supplied to him for the next 4 years from the taxpayer? Makes sense, he nor any of the loons running against Obama have a chance of beating him in November. He should definitely be prepared to pamper his disappointment back to happiness.

 

obama still has the house in Chicago that the Gangster Resko gave him.
Reagan kept his home in Santa Barbara. The Clinton's kept their swindled properties. The elder Bush kept his house in Maine. GW Bush kept his House in Crawford with the Democrat wing nut broad camped outside. Al Gore kept his extremely large and inefficient carbon footprint house in Tennessee.

Did someone tells oo that they had to give up their homes?

 

I'm no Romney supported but being rich and spending your money dies not make you ineligible to be President. However, at the same ime, Romney has proven time and again that he has no empathy for the common people or interested in anyone's interests but the top 1%. He will say anything, do anything to win the election. His whole strategy has been a smear campaign because he himself knows he is a lousy candidate and his only way of winning is to throw dirt at others and lie about everything and anything to get the votes.

 

Wow, are you ever clueless!

 

I don;t know which Romney you are seeing but we have seen plenty of evidence to gauge who the real Romney really is.

 

Evidently this is your first rodeo. Live and learn. Hillary and b.o. rubbed slime, crime, crud and corruption, all over each other 4 years ago too. That's politics.

Would every single person in the nation WISH it was not that way?? Of course. But that IS, how it is.

Our best and brightest do not become politicians.

 

Obviously since people like you wouldn't vote for the honest ones like Paul then whine about why the honest ones don't join politics or even if they do, why they fail to gather any support from the rest of the corrupt ones. The old always say what's been working, may be crooked, but its working so it must be right. Its the young that realise that just because its working (and barely at that) it does not mean it can not be changed and that is really how change comes.

 

Your problem is that you are gullible and have been swindled by a man that is a career flip-flopping politician that preaches fine but does not practice what he preaches.
Obama gives even better speeches and they mean absolutely nothing just as Paul's mean absolutely nothing.
Your gullibility is sad.

A man that sponsors a bill for strict term limits, 12 times over the course of over 24 years,,,,,,,,,IS NOT an honest man. He is a career politician, no better, no worse than most career politicians.

But if Paul had any real support and was a viable candidate, I'd vote for him because I don't think he's be as bad as we know obama will be.

But Paul has never had any strong base support. Gullibility must not be in that large a supply, or the liberals have sucked up all the really gullible ones.

 

Wait till 2014 when romney care portion of the health care bill takes effect. The mit family will be set for generations. It will be law that all Americans will be forced to buy medical insurance, most medical insurance corporation of which mitt owns. His life goal will have been completed, to almost be president and pass a law that will make him the richest man in the USA. He may even be more rich than Lil dick cheeny, in 5 to 10 years.

He will pass all that billions to kis kids tax free.

 

The fact that Paul has fooled the easily fooled, does not make him honest. He is just another career politician that has made speeches that you desperately want to hear. That is a reflection of your gullibility, not of his honesty.

Paul's exceedingly meager support, and only among the naive, shows most people are capable of more rational thought processes.

 

*sigh*

It's bittersweet that the Republican nomination race is now effectively over. I wanted Santorum gone, but now things will be a lot more boring.

I think the most amusing part of the campaign for me was the continual concerns that Mitt Romney was about to lose in his home state. The concern was perpetual because he has like five.

I wonder what happens when his campaign rolls through the Bronx in another bid to show how well Mr. Romney relates to those much poorer than himself. I sense a Romney Rap coming.

 

Don't lump the rest of us in with this 99% farce.

 

Yep, it would be awful to have a person that actually has been successful in business and knows something about how jobs are created in the WH compared to a community organizer.

 

I don't know what's the difference from installing an elevator inside the house to get to the cars or doing it this way. I'd have to see the layout of the house as their may be a good explanation of why it was done.
Also---you DO know, don't you, that his wife has M.S.? That's going to progress as the years go by, so maybe he did it for her. Besides, if one can afford it; what's the problem? Just think how many people get hired and businesses supported for a project like that.

I still can't understand the apparent jealousy of people who become successful. Correction: jealousy of conservatives and Republicans who became successful and have money. Democrats had NO problem with John Kerry and his money....that he "married into" BTW. They also have no problem with Obama's sidekick Warren Buffet, who claims to want to pay more in taxes while he fights paying $1 billion in back taxes!

Romney made his money. He was a smart, intelligent and successful businessman. It's called achieving the American Dream. I achieved it myself; albeit certainly NOT to the extent Romney did! Please don't demonize us for studying hard, working hard, saving, setting goals, and doing the right things to achieve that American Dream!!

 

I think you mean "knows how to get rich laying people off and enjoy it".

 

Last week there were 380,000 Newly unemployed people under b.o. I'd be very surprised if that number does not WELL EXCEED the total number laid off under Romney's management in his entire LIFE. ONE WEEK, 380,000 projects out to 19.76 million NEWLY unemployed in a year. obama is the easy King of Lay Offs.

 

Romney is not at the top of the 1%. He is not in the Forbes 400. Those are the top.

 

He also saved companies that made sense to save and put a lot of people to work. Staples for one. Something "The One" has no clue about.

All the BS talk about the wealthy, sucking more taxes from the wealthy, boils down to nothing but envy!

There is no logic whatsoever that a wealthier person cannot have empathy of less wealthy people. Seems to me the B&M Gates Foundation is showing some empathy...but how is this possible from wealthy people?

This latest political BS from Obama about the wealthy having an effective tax rate of 30% plays right into the minds of the biased and ignorant. So this program 'might' bring in $3-$5 billion more taxation per year yet the O-sheep are rabid about this as if it is going to solve all of our debt problems!

 

Obama's taxes:

2011 income $789,674. (35% bracket) Income tax paid $161,883. 20.5%

2010 Income $1.7 million.(35% bracket) Income tax paid $453,770. 26.7%

2009 Income $5.5 million. (35% bracket) Income tax paid $1.79 million. 32.5%

2008 Income $2,656,902. (35% bracket) Income tax paid $$855,323. 32.2%

Seems b.o. is getting better tax help as POTUS.

 

Good point. Rich seems to have become the new n-word -- a disparaging label that some folks use to justify treating one group of people with different rules.​

 

I've lived in La Jolla, CA and I can tell you there's no flat ground anywhere. All homesites are on hills some of which closer to the water are quite steep. And because the land is expensive in that area, the homes are piled side-by-side. So, it is not uncommon to expect a 2-4 story structure, on a postage-stamp sized lot, utilizing vertical space as much as possible...

 

When companies need outside help, they are already in deep (*)(*)(*)(*) trouble! The reason they ask for outside help is because the existing staff does not have the answers to fix the problems. Two things can happen; first, the company can falter until it closes the doors and ALL EMPLOYEES lose their jobs, or two, try to fix the company which might mean 'some' layoffs but in the end a much healthier company emerges.

It sounds from your comments that you would prefer Romney type consultants should be ignored and just let the companies close their doors...
