Is Mitt too rich to be President?

His wealth does not figure into his worthiness to be president. Being wealthy is not a sin, nor a crime. It is what you do with the wealth that matters. He has spent endless hours and dollars on charitable endeavors. He cares about his fellow beings and champions our right to self determination. Each of us should be able to work at what we are best at without government interference of over regulation.

Mitt is a good candidate.

Ron Paul is the best candidate for president of the United States.

But Mitt Romney is a member of the best religion. Of course I am a more than a little biased, because I am Mormon.

As far as taxes go the best thing to do is to get rid of all income taxes. The only federal taxes that there should be is taxes on products coming into the United States. That is what George Washington believed, and if it is good enough for George Washington, it is good enough for me.

Tax the tyrants. Soak em till they squeal. But not a penny of Federal taxes on anything else.

And anyone who proposes property taxes should be thrown in prison and the key should be thrown away.

And reinstate the homestead act, and give away all the Federal land to the poor. That is what George Washington supported, and the fact of the matter is he was right in just about everything he did or said.

God bless.

I don't care how much money he has... I do care that when he release his tax records. Admittedly showing he only paid 13.9% federal taxes. Now if he was in touch with the hardships of the American people he would have said something like I can't apologize for what the federal government taxed me. I understand that when someone that makes $50,000 dollars a year is taxed 25% and someone that makes $5,000,000 dollars a year is taxed 25% it would then be fair. I understand that the person that paid $12,500 dollars in taxes was much harder to do than the person that paid $1,250,000 dollars in taxes. I understand that having $3,750,000 dollars to spend after taxes is going to cover any possible food, housing, and other living expenses and still have so much money left over you could buy a small island. I understand having only $37,500 dollars left over after taxes barely covers the expenses of food, housing, and other living expenses and you might have enough to buy a TV on credit. But I am not going to apologize for being successful. But I will make it fair across the board that someone like me pays the same percentage of taxes that the average american pays.. Because that is just fair and no-one should have to apologize for that.

I don't think Mitt is too rich to be president. But he's not running as a rich man. He's tried to paint himself as an average American. Comments like "I'm unemployed", "I understand pink slips", "I know the hard streets" are simply lies. Mitt made his money by taking over companies and either getting them on the road to success or tearing them apart. And HE USED GOVERNMENT MONEY AND CREDITS TO DO IT. Some of those companies got forgiveness from the Federal government on loans. Taxpayers paid for that. Some of them took tax credits and public financing from local governments, then closed up. Taxpayers paid for that. One of them got millions from local governments, then shut down and left the Federal government (taxpayers) to fund the employee's pension program!

But with all of the above BAIN MADE MILLIONS$$$. Success or failure of the company didn't matter: BAIN and Mitt MADE MILLIONS$$$.

Mitt's family was not poor. He not only got a superior education, he traveled in a class that met money people, influential political people, people that were key to his success later. If you think any person with a good education will have the opportunites that Mitt had, you're not very smart.

The scoop on Mitt's steel co:

He gives a big deal to charity and didn't take a salary. Just because your rich doesn't mean your out of touch with working America.

If you consider what he didn't give to charity would have been taxed and assume the same for all the other candidates. He paid more than anyone.

Obama only paid 1% of his paycheck to charity, with a presidential salary and a wife who is still holding on to her career and two kids at home. Yeah, Romney spreads his wealth like he can't get rid of it fast enough and is an excellent example of Reaganomics. Obamanomics looks like capitolism without morals.

Lol there is no such thing as too rich for president. I don't care if the president has four eyes and blue skin, as long as they know how to PROPERLY manage the United States, and are willing to reach out to the people, then they are a good president.

As a second-generation Mexican-American he can be proud of his family ancestry -- he should also contribute to other churches than the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Too much money, no such thing. (lyrics to a country song). No but really, you spelled it out man. Who better to pull America out of the recession we are in then a well raised, hard working individual like Mitt Romney.

Thanks for your service by the way.
