There is no excuse making. He simply doesn't have to show anymore than he has.
What the radical left is trying to do is say a guy is guilty of distributing child porn just because a guy has a computer. Someone is guilty of hit and run because they drive a car. Guilty of murder just cause you own a weapon. It's absurd!
The reality is you people just want to hit the rich guy for being rich. That's weak as hell, especially considering there are so many other relevant issues to hit him with.
We're not hitting him merely because he's rich, all of our presidents are comparatively rich. We're hitting him because he's unethically rich (legality does not change that), and because he does not represent the common man, and his policies appear intentionally designed to hurt the common man.
you are right he doesnt but its the right of thinking people to continue to ask him what he is hiding. you have to be pretty slow upstairs not to understand why he is doing this after being backed into a corner.
unethically rich?
wtf does that mean in this context.
is Buffet unethical, GE, geithner?
tax payers have every ethical right to use to claim deductions or exclusions - they are not supposed to lie or cheat... like perhaps some in the administration... but it is ethical to minimize taxes.
its why I argue we should drop personal income tax and go to some other method to raise revenues such as tarrifs.
I thoroughly understand trade.
When you are a net exporter you may wish to drop barriers to get your people working as much as you can.
When you are a net importer you may wish to put them up to protect jobs and industries.
The idea that we all gain by free trade is an antiquated utopian idea... it does not work when other countries have their own trade barriers and manipulate currency.
Its also funny idea to think otherwise because america became america by protecting its north eastern industries...
Com'on man, unethically rich? Did he make his money running guns and dope?
No, he is not a common man. So what! Common men don't run for president and they never have.
Will his policies hurt the common man? Probably! So hit him on those policies. Not that Obama's policies are any better, but at least it's an argument with some substance.
