Ann Romney, PLEASE S.T.F.U....PLEASE. "We KNOW where our wealth is...it's in our FAMILY!" PLEASE.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

They just played the clip on MSNBC.

Yes, Ann, the wealth is in your family, you're "just folks," just like us, and the fact that your family can do whatever the fuck it wants, whenever the fuck it wants, because Mitt's net worth is around a quarter of a billion dollars,, REALLY doesn't matter. Because you know where your wealth is, and it's in your fucking FAMILY.

1. When you have no income and can't feed your family, that's poor comfort. nt

[Ecumenist]

2. She actually said that? And just how was that supposed to help them?

They are a cheeky bunch.

11. She actually said that.

MSNBC followed up that clip with the still shot of Romney "doing the laundry."

Romney's been classified as "the guy who was born on third and thought he hit a home run," and no matter how hard he tries...especially after the whole "I made some money ($375,000) from public speaking but NOT MUCH" thing, I don't think ANYONE is going to buy "our real fortune is our family" crap. The real fortune starts with the three estates and then works its way to the Caymans.

3. just saw it...

wow, was that offensive!! do they have any idea how many families can't be together because of finances??

[gratuitous]

4. Ann Romney, poor people don't have bread to eat

Perhaps they should eat cake, then?

[L0oniX]

5. Social terrorists!

[Atman]

6. What she means is, "We transferred some to Tagg, some to Studd, some to Biff, some to Batt..."

Whatever the fuck their stupid names are. Mitt's already admitted that they just put a shitload of it in the kids' names to protect it from being taxed as their own. That's the funny thing about these guys; they have access to all these crazy schemes that no one else has. Cayman Islands bank accounts, all sorts of accounting tricks, tax loopholes. Yet regular people have not choices...they can't shield their sales tax income, or the tax on their unemployment checks. It's like getting a bank loan...if you don't really need the money, every bank in the world is happy to lend you more, at virtually no interest. But when you DO need it, you're stuck out of luck, or you pay 22%. The whole system is rigged so that the Romney's don't have to pay a dime. I'd be very surprised if it turns out he actually paid 15%. His accountants are working on those 2011 returns now to make it look like he pays more, but the 2010 returns will probably be more accurate. Which is why he doesn't want to release anything earlier than that. He hasn't paid any real taxes in decades, he just collects his interest and writes it all off.

7. Just goes to show that class and wealth

don't go hand in hand. Ann Romney is a perfect example of that.

[Life Long Dem]

8. We know where your money is also.

[BeyondGeography]

9. Ya know what else is in the family, dear: Tone deafness

[Lint Head]

10. The family with everything. What a concept.
