COME ON MITT: You want to ‘stimulate the economy’? Let’s see your last ten years of tax returns so we TOO can pay only 13% in taxes on far far less income than you have. We pay 20-24-32-36% and far more. Double what you pay, in some cases TRIPLE what you pay… and on far far less income man.
Tell us your tricks, your ins and outs. Let us have the SAME chance you have to KNOW what to take as deductions only YOU know about, and a few others who have financial ADVISORS whose hourly wage at $350 and $550 an hour equal many people’s pay for nearly 80 hours of their labor. Surely you see the clang there, and surely you see the opportunity to be a hero to those who already pay TOO MUCH in taxes because they dont know what you know and keep close to your chest.
Come on. Dont make someone sue you on another matter altogether– say alleged malfeasance financially while investing in and bleeding a corp for personal gain– and you have to hand over your tax returns for ten years because they are demanded by a court of law via subpoena.
You say you’re a patriot, dont you care about the people struggling who could latch their wagon to your star, by TELLING US the secret ways and means you USE to pay 13% in taxes yearly? Don’t you see, you’re a genius!! And we want to be tax genius’s too! My bet is every taxpayer in this country would vote for you, if they could cut their taxes in half, man, or even by a stupendous 2/3rds– by knowing all your secret ways and means. Think of it man, imagine it: Prez Romney Shoe IN!
As an aside, just a head’s up Mitt, I’m afraid if Assange makes it to Ecuador, your tax secrets may come out anyway. As Ara Raoul Parseghian is said to have remarked: ‘better to have possession of the ball rather than humping after it.’ But that’s another story for another time. In the meantime, come on, show us the money pages, and let us all SHINE economically: it’d be literally doubling our salaries overnight to save so much on taxes. Think of it man, you would go down in history as the most benvolent, most generous, most wise president the US ever ever ever had.
FDR did fireside chats. You could do fiduciary chats. Educate us man, make everyone part of the 1% with only dogs and cats and unemployed toddlers as the 99%.
