Brian Williams is HAMMERING Romney on his taxes.

[Bicoastal]

Switzerland, Luxembourg, Caymans, etc.

And Romney keeps saying the same thing: (not a direct quote) "I'm sure most Americans don't resent people who are successful, and I've been EXTRAORDINARILY successful at running a business. And I'm sure Americans don't want to see job creators (like him?!?) punished with a high tax rate, etc..."

He just doesn't get it...

1. it would be funny if Newt is hiding cash offshore too

4. +1. What if Newt just decided to take on 1 more wife during the Primaries and was like WHAT?!

2. He sure doesn't get it. Like Bush Romney's base are the rich.

3. Not here, he's not. You must be in a different time zone. nt

6. It was on network NBC--actually it was over by the time I finished writing this.

But I'm sure it'll be replayed and dissected on MSNBC fairly soon...

5. Sorry, but I don't think Mitt was running a business.

He was a partner in a private equity/leveraged buyout firm. That group was just that...a group! They talked each deal over and jointly made a decision on which was to go and what to do. THAT'S NOT running a company!

Although Romney is probably the best of the four candidates left in the race, I KNOW all he would do if elected is eliminate all barriers to businesses and Wall Street, and make the SCOTUS extreme RW for the nest 25 years!

7. Is he really, though?

The best of the four? I'm not convinced. He might be the worst. It's hard to tell, given his self-righteous claims to privacy and privilege.

10. Which is better, a puddle of puke (Romney) or a pile

of poop (Gingrich)?

8. Did I hear Mitt claim that his taxes plus charitable contributions were 40% of his income?

I thought I did, and unless I'm missing something that's simply BS. From what I saw, in 2010 he had 21.7 million in income, 3 million in taxes and 3 million in charitable contributions-- that works out to less than 28 percent. Maybe he was mixing up his return with Obama's, which showed a combined tax/charitable percentage of around 39 percent of income.

9. My fave line is when he said "I payed 40% bet taxes and charitable donations"

That won't play very well! less than 15% on taxes (mandatory)....more than 25% on charitable - optional? come on, Mitt.....

11. Most of his donations went to the Morman Church (nt)
