Here's what I think About Mitt Romney and his wealth...

Last edited Sun Jul 29, 2012, 08:24 PM - Edit history (1)

is that the truth be told, Mitt Romney is actually a "Billionaire". That's why he's not releasing no more than those two faked years of tax releases so that, as Miss Ann said, "you people" are only going to get those two faked-up years and "you people" will just have to be happy with that-"you people".

The truth be told, I think that the reason Mitten isn't releasing all of the other years of tax returns, is that "them people" has gotten everybody thinking that he's only worth a quarter-of-a-billion-dollars($250,000,000), when in fact, hidden away overseas are his "Billions of Dollars".

I figure that Mittens was worth a couple hundred million dollars around 2000, but after Bush signed the 2001 Bush Tax Cuts, look at all of the financial activities his firm Bain Capital did through out those years and once again after the 2003 Bush Tax Cuts. Why stash all of your Cash off shore? Why have (1) Swiss Bank Accounts? (2) Money stashed in the Caymans? (3) All of those other overseas accounts, everywhere else but here in America. WHY???

In fact, does Mitten even have an American banking account anywhere in America? I mean, just one simply checking account or anything!?!?

So, by this, I've come to the frame of mind that Mitt Romney is worth maybe 4 -6 Billion Dollars, not in the league with the big dogs,(Gates, Buffett), just a minor league "Billionaire", but a "Billionaire" just the same.

250 million is a lot, but all those houses, all that remodeling, horses, cars, etc. Is he supporting his kids too? Seems to add up to more than a 250,000,000 life style to me. Has anyone tried to figure out the numbers?

I'd bet Romney supporters are funding the remodel (and car elevator) for his "beach house" in anticipation of having a "Western White House" for his anticipated Presidency. If he fails in his bid, see how fast construction will stop on that location.

for any given year, I agree that he's afraid of showing just how rich he really is. $250 million is peanuts to the crowd he runs around with.

If he could say the truth, then Romney would say "Vote for me so that government of the corporations, by the lawyers, for the richest 0.1% of Americans, shall rule the earth."

Anyone want to put together a pastiche video to that effect? I think it would go viral.

People in general don't (want) to think that a "Billionaire" would actully run for the President of the US, Why?, why would someone, who's worth-billions- ever want to be President of the US!?!?, I mean, with that kind of -wealth- why bother?

So, to throw--(let's be real-deceive-), the people (you know-you people) into not ever having that thought cross their minds, just keep putting out that he's just a mere "Millionaire" then those people (yes, you people), who'll vote for this clown anyway ( again, you people), would have another thought if you thought that a "Billionaire" is trying to become the -President- and hand this Country over to the wall streeters and to big to fail -Banks, you may want to think about working against your on self-interest?

Just imagine a "Billionaire" as President of the USA. We will be asking for God's blessings, 'cause he's still a Mormon!
