Romney: "We (taxpayers) PAY for those things." ORLY? Well, SOME of use do...I'm not sure YOU do.
Clearly still in panic mode, Gov. Romney desperately flings Obama's out of context quote about "If you own a business, you didn't build that" around in a speech, and explains about teachers, firefighters etc. and then says "sure those things are important, but ya know...WE PAY FOR THOSE THINGS, alright. The TAXPAYERS PAY FOR GOVERNMENT!"
The OBVIOUS response is to ask: True, but what does that have to do with YOU? TAXPAYERS paid for those things, not FREELOADERS who stash their money in the Cayman Islands so they don't HAVE to pay taxes!
If you want to claim you and people like you PAY for those things you use to make money, PROVE it by showing us your returns. I suspect you don't want to because there are a few years where you might have paid no taxes at all. You made money buy gutting and cannibalizing businesses that had become profitable thanks, in part, to the American infrastructure that we all paid for, but YOU DIDN'T. That's the definition of a freeloader.
WTF? He just HANDED the Obama Campaign their comback line.
Since when does a guy who stashes his money in offshore taxhavens think it's a good idea to become a populist, making speeches about THE POOR TAXPAYER having to pay for government? You'd think the idea of TAXPAYERS PAYING FOR GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE is a subject he'd want to stay away from. I've never seen such a feckless, bumbling campaign in my life.
