Quote from Epic:
Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I've looked through a lot of stuff, and I think these tax statements make Romney the most "charitable" candidate in modern history.
He probably won't let them, but if I were his campaign managers I would start working a certain angle very quickly.
"I don't pay the 30% that the liberals want, but instead I pay 15%. I then take the opportunity to donate an additional 15% to charity. This is the way our society should work. Minimal payment to government to handle only those things that should be required of them. Then a robust system of charities in the private sector that are more capable of taking care of those who need help."
They also don't want to bring the Mormon church into the mix, but I would point out that the church that he gives a sizable donation to each year has a welfare program that puts the government welfare program to shame in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
Quote from AK Forty Seven:
I'm actually starting to think Newt would be a tougher opponent then Romney
Quote from Max E. Pad:
Very Well said, and i doubt Romney will bring it up because he seems uncomfortable talking about his money, but here is some donations liberal heros have made in the past.
Al Gore 1997 - 353$
John Kerry 1991 - 0$
john Kerry 1992 - 820$
John Kerry 1993 - 173$
John Kerry 1994 - 2039$
John Kerry 1995 - 0$
Joe Biden - Average 369$ per year
Quote from AK Forty Seven:
In 2003 when running for the Presidency Kerry gave 11 % to charity.Since Mitt has only released his taxes for 2010 and 2011 we dont know how much he gave 10 years prior to running for President like we do Kerry
We need to see Mitts returns for the 90's to make a fair comparison
