*Only* 3 million? Seriously? Have you paid 3 million in taxes in all your tax paying years combined? Didn't think so. Why be upset at Romney? If you don't like it, push for tax codes to be changed. Why should he pay more than he is legally obligated? And who cares if he donated to a church? Where have you donated your millions?

No one making more than one hundred thousand dollars a year should be allowed to run for President. The President should come from the people who matter and not from the elite asses who's only sweat has come from a gym workout or a sauna.
Will you tell me who chose these men to run for the office? They are twits and have the leadership ability of an Obama and a Bush. Zip.
Why do we give our attention to these fops instead of discovering for ourselves a leader? We, the People? Screw the corporate parties and those who must repay life long debts to others for the positions they hold and the wealth they've attained. We're fools to give them our attention and support believing this is our only choice.

There is nothing wrong with giving to charity, whether it is Obama who is doing that, or Mitt Romney that does that.
Jesus Christ gave a commandant to always be a Good Samaritan. Jesus Christ gave a commandment to love thy neighbor as thy self.
Ron Paul did not release his tax returns. Jesus Christ said to not let thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. Furthermore, Jesus Christ said do not do your alms before men.
So I think Ron Paul has it right on this particular issue. That should not be surprising. Ron Paul has it right on all the political questions of this day and age. Too bad he isn't Mormon, he lives the life of a Mormon, and he understands what Jesus Christ taught a lot more than most people that is obvious.

It's the system you need to be upset with. Unless he is illegally banking money in off shore accounts to avoid taxes. In that case he needs to be audited and held accountable like any other tax payer. Romney is not what this country needs anyways.

Just remember that the media has also reported that almost 70% of Americans don't pay any Taxes... thanks to Obama...
Geithner ring a bell??? And I believe the media mentioned something about our federal legislature owing something like over a BILLION dollars in back taxes...
Or Newt flying around for political reasons for a cost to taxpayers of 6 million dollars of taxpayer money... not to mention his "historical consulting"... good that he is married to a Heinz heiress who has lots of her own money...
Despite the political and even religious diatribe, most of which is innuendo and false accusations from the undereducated…
It’s still going to be about the economy and who can get the job done!
Romney knows and understands world economics.
In the private sector, for most of his life, he successfully and profitably managed large companies, helped turn around large companies that were sinking and helped other companies get started, saving and creating thousands of jobs, Domino’s Pizza, Sports Authority, and Staples to name just a few of many.
Funny. Half of MA loves what Romney did, the other half hate him, maybe because he left after completing only one term. Maybe he is not a “career” politician, do you always need a “career” politician to get the job done?
Yes, he worked as the MA governor for his entire term for FREE!!! Who else would have done that!?
Yes, during his 4 years as governor MA started out ranked 49th in job creation for half of his term before moving up to 47th in his final year. Not a stellar record to some.
Yet Romney also reduced corporate loopholes and cut state spending in order to cut taxes and increase consumer spending. MA had a huge deficit, about 3 Billion dollars when he started, and he left MA with a 600 million surplus and balanced budget at the end of his term (yes, he raised state “fees”, but still kept them below the national average). He can't help it if the government screwed up after he left.
MA’s super majority Democrat controlled legislature wanted desperately some kind of Universal Health care program. Romney worked with them to create one that would work, similar to mandated auto insurance (most states have such mandates). It is estimated that 98% of the residents are now covered. It was within projected budget (about 1% of the State budget) until Romney left and MA made changes to the program and now it is costing them. Romney believes that states -- not the federal government -- should be free to design their own plans for covering the uninsured if that is what they want to do.
Yes, he compromised on some political issues, again dealing with a super majority Democrat Legislature and Judicial Branch in MA, in order to keep the state government working together and moving forward.
He turned around a struggling 2002 Winter Olympics with millions in debt and made it into one of the most profitable Olympics in history. And only took a $1 dollar salary. Who else would have done that!?
He is against federalization and big government and believes in state’s rights to govern their own affairs.
He believes in marriage between a man and woman, the importance of family, and lives the example.
He is for a strong military and believes the borders should be better protected.
The list of real positives is far greater than the supposed list of negatives.
And the Democrat Party is most afraid of Romney.

Dude, you fcuked up and there is no excuse for it. If you meant Romney then WRITE Romney, not Obama and then say that you "goofed". Your question is ruined.
Just wanted you to know.

Nobody should be earning that much in the first place. He'd be the first to sack a subordinate if he thought he could replace them with someone else who'd do the same job cheaper.

If Obama had done it, I would be enraged. He is a godless bastard who should be taxed 98%.
I forgive Romney though as he accepts JESUS as his savior. While he is no Santorum, he's got great hair and would make a fine leder, as long as he brings God into his leadership and places additional taxes on the atheistic scourge.
