that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them..... they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." (Romney)??????

Just sayin'

This guy pays a far smaller percentage of his income in taxes than I do... I guess that makes him irresponsible by his own definition.

In fact, it makes anyone who is paying the 15% capital gains on income instead of income tax rates like working Americans irresponsible, IMHO.

In fact, let's talk about those who really feel entitled - corporations and their owners who pay no taxes at all.... (see below).




Reference:

"Last year, Citizens for Tax Justice found that 30 major corporations had made billions of dollars in profits while paying no federal income tax between 2008 and 2010. Today, CTJ updated that report to reflect the 2011 tax bill of those 30 companies, and 26 of them have still managed to pay absolutely nothing over that four year period.....

Amongst the 30 are corporate titans such as General Electric, Boeing, Verizon, and Mattel. The only four companies that slipped into positive tax territory were DTE Energy, Honeywell, Wells Fargo, and DuPont, with DuPont the only one that paid more than 4 percent over the four years.

Corporate taxes in the U.S., contrary to the constant protestations of conservatives, are at a 40 year low, with many of the most profitable companies paying nothing at all. CTJ noted that “had these 30 companies paid the full 35 percent corporate tax rate over the 2008-11 period, they would have paid $78.3 billion more in federal income taxes.” And this is not a problem that only afflicts the U.S., as the UK found out last week that online retailer Amazon made billions in sales in 2011, while paying nothing in corporate taxes."

[The Wielding Truth]

1. Yes Romney's tax breaks take advantage of our nation and it's good governmental system.

2. There are a certain class of people who think they own the world and that everyone

else should pay them rent to be allowed to live on it. They feel entitled to take whatever they want and expect that everyone else but them should have to work. Romney is of that class.

3. Exactly!
