Rmoney looks down his big ugly nose at the poor because they "don't pay taxes"

He's talking about people who are not legally obligated to pay taxes because they make too little!


As I recall, Willard said he payed everything he was legally obligated to, and then - proudly - "not a dollar more."

As Clinton said, it takes a lot of brass to blame a guy for what you did.


I am looking forward to voting for Obama and against this slime . . . as soon as I get my i.d.

Mitt Romney just said 146,000,000 Americans Don't pat taxes and are moochers and or parasites. All I can say about that is, it's bullshit! There is no way that many Americans are not paying taxes. That is not a miss quote, but a outright LIE !!!

Just speak the truth or shut the F_ _ K up !!!


To which there was a reply:
both side do it and we all know it bud



Lead us not into the maze of false equivalency

beat the shit out of a woman then make fun of her for bleeding in the floor.

Yes that's a harsh image but drive down the worst street in your inner city and see that enforced poverty is MUCH more violent.
