Romney says he pays about 15 percent in income tax - Page 3

There is also word on the street that if he releases his taxes it will show that he has only been reporting income off some of his estimated wealth, and that there is still much much more that is hidden in offshore tax havens. Then the year before last when he decided to run, he started to move his money back to less illegal places. Supposedly he did it when he ran in 2007 and it looks like he is doing it again this year.

What if they had elected the other moron, John Huntsman? Or do you hate all morons?

If so you should probably stay away from Utah...

Ah HA! Two of the biggest figures in the Mormon faith are named "Moroni," only one is named "Mormon." Personally, I think we were just a couple verses off from having ads for "the Book of Moron, a companion to the Bible."

It was started by a guy reading golden plates, in a hat. Probably just a spelling error. They didn't have auto-correct in the 1820s.

I certainly hope people with offshore accounts are using them to invest in stock or real estate rather than just parking it in a savings account, because the weak-ass returns wouldn't be worth it the risk.

Every dollar not paid in income tax is a dollar earned.

But if the investment is just a CD only paying 2% APR, it isn't worth it.

What is the top tax braket, 38% or something? So a 2% CD here in America would net you about 1.2% instead of 2%. Not something worth crying about, unless you are talking about several million dollars in that CD. And parking that much in a CD is dumb, IMO. It should be in stocks, bonds, or real estate. Hell, you could easily average 2-5% a year in tax-free municipal bond funds here in the US.
