Mitt hates those moochers who expect a handout but Ann who has never worked a day in her life

[lunatica]

is a hard stay at home mom worker!!!!!! She deserves the incredible wealth that she never lifted a finger to make.

The rest of us moms, whether we work or not, well fuck us.

1. I was thinking earlier about how stay-at-home moms are moochers according to Romney. nt

[fadedrose]

2. Ya, didn't Romney have to iron his own shirts?

the ones they bought for him at Target? She must be really lazy.

[progressivebydesign]

8. No, no, no. they ATE on the ironing board... the help ironed the shirts. easy to confuse. lol. nt

3. But she does laundry!

She has her people do laundry for her!

4. Didn't Mitt the Mooch get $300 million in taxpayer money to save the Olympics and save face?

And those hidden tax returns must be breathtaking to behold.

6. That was $1.3 Billion. $3 Million in direct and $1.1 Billion in indirect link here

5. And she got a government subsidy of her dancing horse!

As a medical deduction!

Ans I can't even get a deduction for the cockroaches dancing across my kitchen floor!

11. sorry, but that one is untrue

She did not get a medical deduction for her personal horses.

Mittens got a business deduction for the Olympic horse. They are business partners with their trainer and another 1%. Rafalca the Olympic horse is the business and Rafalca's expenses were the deduction. Also, the $70,000 deduction they tried to claim was denied, with less than $100 allowed by the IRS. Unless and until Rafalca turns a profit (extremely unlikely, to be honest) they will never get anything close to the deduction they tried to claim. It is more likely that Rafalca will end up declared a hobby. It costs a lot of money to train and compete a horse to the Olympic level. They probably will never get back their investment. That is something to smile about. Horses always manage to make their undeserving owners "eat dirt."

12. I was tyring to make you laugh...

I apologize.

[magical thyme]

15. nothing to apologize for

I just didn't catch the joke I guess because there was a lot of discussion around it when it first came out.

A lot of people believed they tried to get a medical deduction off her horses. There is so much irrefutable criticism, I just don't want to muddy the waters. Although even the fact that they tried to get a $70K deduction for a horse that hasn't earned them any money strikes me as pretty scummy.

7. The double standard is breathtaking

We've been right about this couple all along.

[OmahaBlueDog]

9. Y'know what - I'll concede that being a stay-at-home-mom with a pack of kids is bust ass work, but..

..but it's a lot different for a stay-at -home mom who never has to worry about finances; can afford maids and nannies; who never has to worry about affording her Tsybari infusion -- or whatever she uses (yes, I went there); and who can afford expensive dancing horses as a hobby.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Make no mistake, stay-at-home Moms Do Work, often quite hard. But not Anne Rmoney. nt

[lunatica]

13. Well according to Mitt stay at home moms are part of the 47% who don't take responsability

But, of course as with all wealthy people and Teabaggers and Republicans, when one of theirs stays home that's different.

[salin]

14. Per Romney's logic - you shouldn't have had kids - unless you are already wealthy

no hint of pro life or pro family in his position of contempt for those of us living in the real world.
