When did paying taxes become equated with shame, Mr. Romney??

[Johonny]

Mitt Romney unveiled an aggressive new stump speech Tuesday, accusing President Barack Obama of being too cozy with political donors and suggesting the president wants Americans to be "ashamed of success. "President Obama attacks success. And, therefore, under President Obama, we have less success," Romney said. "I will change that."

All Obama is asking for is that the people doing the best economically to pay a tax rates like they were under Bill Clinton. You know the president where Mitt Romney ran a business to super success. I mean if that tax rate was so shameful and terrible why did he decided to retroactively leave his company only after Clinton and his Tax rates disappeared? The magic place where he started his company the tax rate was a heck of a lot more progressive than today. Really Mitt explain how with upward mobility at such a low rate compared to your youth, why he equates a mild tax rate increase to somehow placing shame on people? Explain why even though he hasn't for 4 years changed these rates why things keep getting worse and worse not more and more successful for the 99 %? You would think if he LOVED America so much he couldn't wait to help pay for its basic operation of its governmental systems. Or to put it another way, those SHAME tax he doesn't want to pay, will also pay for his salary in the office he's trying to win. You think he'd be ashamed to run for an office that is paid for by his dollars of shame? Is pointing out the incredibly wealthy benefit from the incredible USA somehow shaming them. If your ashamed that Obama points out us Americans helped make you wealthy then move to the Cayman Islands with your money. Stop running for our American offices. Why Mitt Romney are you ashamed when Obama mentions your success in the same sentence with common Americans like teachers and construction workers? What are you ashamed to have to think of how the 99% make America go? Ashamed to have your name mention with our teachers?

No Democratic candidate is talking about success = shame. The only ones talking about this appear to actually be so ashamed of how the current system allows them to scam the average American that they are too ashamed to show us their tax records. If their was nothing to be ashamed about they'd show us what they are hiding and they would be twisting Obama's message into one of shame.

1. Romney's statement doesn't even make sense.....

"President Obama attacks success. And, therefore, under President Obama, we have less success," Romney said. "I will change that."

Would any thinking, informed person really believe the nonsense that flows from Romney's mouth? Yeah, Mitt, that must be the problem.....President Obama's vision for the American entrepreneur is to stymie their success. You miss this important point, Mitt. President Obama and most Americans (even many wealthy Americans) do not admire greedy people.....whether they be neighbors, family members, owners of small businesses, heads of huge corporations, non profits, churches, etc, etc, etc. I bet Mitt, that you would say you don't admire greedy people....maybe even that some consider "avarice" to be a stain on the "soul" or even a "sin" in some religious thinking. Big difference between meeting success through hard work and grabbing all that you can get mowing down those who get in your way.

I'm afraid, Mr Romney that you don't "get it"......you don't understand the soul of America and the majority of it's citizens.

And personally speaking, I judge the character of a man by who I would want by college age son to emulate. Needless to say, that man would be Barack Obama. You, Mr Romney, don't even register on my parental radar as a role model for my bright, talented twenty year old college student.

M. Romney....clueless to say the least.
