25% for us, 15% for King Mitt

In a recent debate, Mitt Romney called for a 25% income tax rate for Americans.  "In a ... debate on Monday, Mr. Romney said more broadly that he favored dropping the top tax bracket to 25%."

Mitt Romney, while still refusing to disclose his income tax returns, said “What’s the effective rate I’ve been paying? It’s probably closer to the 15 percent rate than anything.”

One rate for elite bankster Mitt Romney, and a higher rate for the rest of us.  Like Mitt's $10,000 wager, this is another example of Mitt Romney being out of touch with America.

He Didn't; He Did

Mitt's message is that he has no influence on what PACs do.  According to the Post-Gazette, Mitt flip-flops on whether or not he even sees the PAC advertisements.

Mr. Romney said: "With regards to their ads, I haven't seen them. And, as you know, under the law, I can't direct their ads." A moment later, Mr. Romney acknowledged that he had, in fact, seen the ads and he recited a few of their messages.

Oligarchs For Romney

Who gets the most donations from the richest of the rich?  Campaign donations from people who are the .01%; people who expect to continue to be the richest of the rich.

Supported by the banksters, Mitt Romney has received the most donations from billionaires.

Romney Flip-Flops On Bailouts

Mitt Romney flip-flops on supporting bailouts.

"I have never supported the President's Recovery Act... No time, no where, no how have I supported the President's stimulus." [Romney Town Hall, Goffstown NH, 9/28/11]

Romney Owes Perry $10k

During the GOP candidate forum Saturday night, Mitt Romney showed he is an out-of-touch rich guy when he offered to be $10,000.  The Jon Huntsman campaign created the website 10kbet.com which answers the question, "Why Mitt Romney Owes Rick Perry $10,000".

Mitt could have wagered $10 or $100.  Mitt showed he is out of touch with the economic plight of most Americans.

Cost of Romney's Record Purge

Mitt Romney's purging government-owned records before he left office cost nearly $100,000.  Where are the handcuffs?  Where are the prosecutors?  Apparently there are different rules for the 1% elites.

Mitt Romney spent nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret, Reuters has learned.

Romney's Record Purge

Mitt Romney illegally purged electronic records before leaving office in Massachusetts. Why did he want to keep the public from accessing emails?

Romney had authorized the purging of emails and other closely-held electronic records at the end of administration.

Romney also allowed aides to buy and remove their government hard drives and authorized the replacement of leased computers in his executive offices.

Massachusetts officials say Mitt Romney violated state law, but they will not investigate:

McNiff also said Tuesday that the commonwealth would not pursue an inquiry into the purge of electronic records even though Massachusetts officials have concluded that state law required Romney's aides to have maintained the records.
