Bain Insider: Romney Paid no taxes for 10 years

A Bain insider and investor told Senator Harry Reid that Romney used off shore accounts and foreign investments to avoid paying US taxes for a 10 year period. NOW WE KNOW WHAT HE IS HIDING. ITS EASY TO ACCUMLATE MILLIONS IF YOU PAY NO TAXES. ITS ALSO TELLS YOU HOW LOYAL ROMNEY IS TO OUR NATION. MAKE MILLIONS HERE, INVESTED IN OTHER COUNTRIES CREATING JOBS THERE. THIS MAN IS NOT FIT, HE CARES MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN HE DOES THE COUNTRY. THIS WILL ALL COME OUT.

How anybody who loves America could even consider voting for this con artist baffles me.

I have long thought Romney's refusal was problematic. Also fiqured sooner or later it would come out. If this is true, Romney's done; the republican party better get busy and find out if its true. After he is nominated it will be too late. A man who made millions and paid no taxes by manipulating off shore investments will not be elected. If this is false, release those returns and get it over with.

Your right, if this is true, sooner than later an insider at Bain will come forward and spill all the beans. The party should demand Romney inform and if its true nominate someone else. Its not too late. A good clean candidate could win. Can you imagine how bad Romney would get beat if this is true and an insider comes out.

Wow, pedophiles running loose in the White House under George H. Bush. President George W. Bush who went AWOL and wrote a tax law that made it attractive for companies to leave the U.S. and move overseas. And now conservatives may be running a ten year tax cheat! Conservatives have got it going ON!
Oh, and don't forget George H. had a daddy that committed treason. He helped with a fascist coup to overthrow a sitting president.
Conservatives know how to pick em.

Harry Reid: Some Bain investor who I won’t name told me Romney didn’t pay income taxes for 10 years

Sounds solid. Mitt Romney, who's been running for political office for 20 years now, decided he'd gamble those prospects and risk time in a federal pen for tax evasion in order to save a few million dollars that he doesn't need.

And he made this decision year after year, for 10 years.

By the way, some random guy on the Internet told me Obama was born in Kenya. Now, do I know that's true? Well, I'm not certain. But let me just toss it out there.

"His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son," Reid said, in reference to George Romney's standard-setting decision to turn over 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in the late 1960s.

Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.

“Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years,” Reid recounted the person as saying.

“He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that’s true? Well, I’m not certain,” said Reid.“But obviously he can’t release those tax returns. How would it look?

“You guys have said his wealth is $250 million,” Reid went on.“Not a chance in the world. It’s a lot more than that. I mean, you do pretty well if you don’t pay taxes for 10 years when you’re making millions and millions of dollars.”

No surprise that Reid would smear Romney so casually. He specializes in these tactics during presidential campaigns. In 2008, he made more noise about McCain’s temper being a sign of possible derangement than any other major Democrat.(He also insisted that he couldn’t stand McCain as part and parcel of the demonization effort, even though the two had been known to socialize.) He’s an unusually nasty character, even by normal political standards, when he wants to be; gratuitously accusing George Romney of being disappointed in his son is simply S.O.P. But he does have a strategy here: Pull an accusation of criminality straight out of his ass and hope it gets enough media play that Romney feels obliged to respond. Either Mitt will start to sweat and release his returns, as Democrats have demanded, in order to disprove Reid’s charge or he’ll sit tight and the smear will circulate online, with Romney’s refusal to disclose the documents taken as “proof” that Reid is right. In that respect, it’s not that different from Birtherism. It just so happens that you’ve got the Senate majority leader pushing this, not some commenter at dKos or wherever.

Exit question via Philip Klein:“How would ‘a person who had invested with Bain Capital’ know about Romney’s personal tax returns anyway?”

Romney probably sold deals to investors explaining they could invest in foreign partnerships and pay no taxes. Not criminal tax evasion, but its moral evasion. Reid did not make up the conversation and I bet the informant comes forward. One thing is true, if false, all Romney has to do is release his returns and it will end speculation. My guess, its probably true and thats why Romney will not release the returns.

While in Washington D.C. last week I was told by a male interns in Reid’s office that they have witnessed Senator Reid having sex with young boys and beating his wife. This activity has gone on for at least 20 years.

“Now, do I know that that’s true? Well, I’m not certain,”

But I am sure Harry Reid’s chidren must be very embarrased. They may also be relieved that the truth has come as there has been rumors that he molested his own children as well.

Truth you have to stop this,or people will find out that you are a idiot,drunk,pillhead that has a demon in them , you need to be in church so we can pray for you.

All he has to do is release his tax returns and this debate will be over. But noooooooo....he won't do that.

Reid is playing chess, check.

Make a move Romney.

Fred, the difference is: you made the story up, and Reid was told this by a Bain investor. Reid did not lie, and I bet they are drip, drip, dripping this story, and then the bain insider will appear. Have long thought the Dems know something and they are going to milk it until they drop the big rock. Bet Romney's as nervous as a prostitute in church, wondering how much the Dems know and what they can prove. They are getting ready to prove a bunch. Reid would not have made the statement unless he is prepared to prove it.

All Romney has to do is release his tax returns like every other candidate has done, but noooooo, he won't do that.

Reid is playing chess........check.

You're move Romney

Your move Romney

Romney is boxed in.

He can't call Reid a liar. If he does then he would have to let go of 10 years of tax returns.

Romney can't ignore it because that would only make Reid's claim valid.

This is a great game of chess by Reid.

And since it comes from a fellow Mormon makes it even more delicious and credible.

Reid: A quiet storm

Yep, Mitt the twitt, as the Brits call him, has a problem. To release or not release is the question. Catch 22 for Romney, he loses either way. But I do agree there is information out there and the way the democrats are going, they have it. Just playin, right now, They come for the knock out later.

HHH post was accurate indeed. Just because he paid no tax for 10 years doesn't = tax evasion. But what it does equal is pure and simple immoral financial treason.

Here's what my best guess is, which falls in line with some of my previous posts concerning him. An Equity Firm will purchase failing companies with the "intent" to get them in the black, sell them and profit. Simultaneously, to offset capital gain one must have capital loss. Subsequently, they purchase X amount of companies they know inadvance will not prosper (or they won't let it) regardless, they take out corporate loans, refect the interest as an expense to falsely disclose a black bottom line, suck out the dividends from actual principal of loan monies, file bankruptcy and walk away from the loan....then it's "lossville" to offset the gain from a couple they just sold. An Equity Firm, when supporting by banks, can call their own shots basically, living off the loan monies and take their loss in the year it's most fitting to their tax returns.

Romney also had separate entities that could send through losses whenever "applicable". It's a game and he played it to the max, not supporting our country at all. It's truly sad this is all the Republican Party had to offer. I thought anything would have been a step up to a McCain/Palin ticket, but this takes the cake.

Under privacy, we'll never know precisely what's on those returns until he discloses them himself and we all know that's not going to happen.

Democrats are very smart that way. Obama boxed Congress in on the payroll tax cut. Democrats knew in advance what would pass Healthcare Reform. Democrats have most likely known this for a while. I can't wait to see what will be exposed right before election day! Champagne for all!

I wish, but by law, I don't think the Insider would legally be permitted to take it public. But I'm sure we have our eggs in more than one basket.

...still waiting on those returns!
