We Could Care Less MITT

We don't care how much money the average millionaire pays in taxes. Mitt Romney doesn't
work. If a millionaire is working, maybe he should get some tax breaks. I don't see why Romney
needs such a big tax break, however, because he isn't working. I guess part of the rationale is that he may live off interest, amd so the bulk of his money stays in the banking coffers to keep loans
flowing, and to keep interest rates low for the rest of us. But if he isn't paying enough, we are
free to rewrite the tax laws whether he likes it or not. I can't see why anyone needs off shore money though. That is simple greed.
Anyone remember the little K Car Chrysler used to make. It was a great first car for newly
employed young people. Why did dealerships hate it? Greed. In America, it wasn't (isn't)good enough to make money on a purchase or an account. The K Car wasn't providing enough profit
per sale. Dealers wanted cars offering much bigger profits. Tax free is often a greedy profit.
Mitt R. should know it does matter how money is made. We could care less that he has
a good tax rate in many cases. But why does he need it, and is it a fair rate for his circumstances
of having earned.
We are not interested in his return. We are interested in fair taxation of those who can afford to
pay without harm to themselves in general.
The Gov is not a billionaire. If he is rich, he is rich. Big deal. A lot of people are rich without
doing harm to working people. We can't easily think of Gov as one of those.
Corps are rich, and do not want to pay taxes at all because they feel if they pay thousands of
people enough salary so that their net pay is about $50,000, the companies feel they have already enriched government coffers. These companies think they'd be paying tax again.
What these corps fail to acknowledge is that some percentage of the actual profit should be taxed
because citizens are the ones upping profits. Some corps are enriching themselves at our expense, trying to avoid increasing revenues of their own government, the government poised to risk blood and treasure to protect their businesses. In other words, these corps are short-sighted.
We put up with a lot to avoid mass lay-offs. And corps can't shed blood or be cold or hungry
in the way a human being can.
If we actually believe there is no difference between a person and a collection of persons, then
we may be a bit more communistic than we have previously acknowledged.
