Mitt Romney must have lousy financial investments to lose 30% in gains in one year....

[NotThisTime]

Unless of course he deferred the income for a year. How does the guy go from 20 million in one year down to 13 when the stock market is going up? He either has lousy financial investments or he took less of the payouts to declare.... then you can discuss his 14.1% tax rate he propped up knowing he can take the rest of his deductions next year.... so essentially 9%, he should pay his fair share.

3. The stock market has NOT been going up uniformly.

Its been UP and DOWN, in fact, tho its overall up.

4. I believe you can roll your losses into the next year

I have enough losses from the crash to last a long time into the future. But individual deductions are capped @ 3k$, not sure what it is for business.

5. If he doesn't control Bain and he can't offshore jobs, sell business assets

and suck the blood out of other companies, he probably is like a fish out of water.
he doesn't know how to invest, he is a vulture, he feeds on carcasses
