Presidential Debate #1 Thread

You can manipulate it any way you want. Apply whatever terminology you want. Making money here and not paying the taxes on it whether the IRS (what a joke) says it's legal or not isn't right. Especially when you're bold enough to call out the bottom rung and label them leeches for not paying taxes. If he's man enough to do that and wants everyone to pull their own weight, he needs to do it too. Just because he (and the others that do it) is clever enough to find a legal loophole doesn't make it morally right. Don't give me any of this legal nonsense. There are things that should be illegal that are legal, and things that are legal that should be illegal. The almighty dollar dictates what side of the equation an action falls on, especially when dealing with financial matters.

You also realize the incredible double standard you're using because Obama IIRC had an effective tax rate of 20% so obviously you feel he is a tax evader as well for following what is legal

Does Obama hide money off shore? Was he always in that tax bracket? He isn't the one who hasn't released his tax returns. Don't try and twist my words to say I think there's something wrong with being wealthy. Romney chose to open his mouth, therefore he's open to criticism.

If i could hide my money from this government, i would to. Romney paid $3million in taxes, that $3million was wasted by a spend happy government. If he paid $15million, that $15million would have been wasted by a spend happy government.
