Romney's true personality and colors deserve to be told to all ... pass on as you are comfortable ...
The real Romney
Sometimes, this facet of Romney’s personality isn’t so subtle. In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.
That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney’s former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying,“It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.”

HEY, NTR, this one's for you.
You constantly refer to eliminating corporate welfare? Well, maybe we can start with this type of corporate welfare:
According to Cato, the most spending on “corporate welfare” programs in the federal budget -- more than $25 billion -- went to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
A majority of the department’s farm subsidies go to the largest farms, the report noted.
The Department of Energy is responsible for nearly $18 billion in corporate welfare in FY 2012.
Other programs to make the list: the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Community Development Block Grant program ($285 million); the Commerce Department’s Broadband Technology Opportunities Program ($2.2 billion); attempts by Transportation Department policymakers to develop a high-speed rail network ($1.2 billion) and the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management ($1.4 billion) land-use programs.

You are a true blue idiot. Have you ever thought that 'earnings' is NOT just from a salary? Earnings would include dividends, capital gains as well as salary. All 3 of those are taxed at different rates. The combination may have been 14% depending on how much he earned from each source. You mention AVERAGE effectice rate paid by 1% is 18.5. Well, when you AVERAGE something, that means some pay more and some pay less and that's how you get an average of 18.5% Crawl back in your hole and try to get some basic understanding how the tax system works. Why not go out and become wealthy instead of whine like a little girl about it.

Tell that to NTR. She's parroting her liberal/progressive web sources that this needs to happen so we can get a handle on the deficit/debt. The wealthy will get us back on track. Problem is, all that tax money will never be singly designated to pay down ANYTHING. It will be spent on more wasteful gummint projects and the debt/deficit will continue unabated.

Yep. Fine with me. The most unintelligent life on planet earth has been hired to work for the USDA. I once spent a full work week being shuffled from disembodied voice to another disembodied voice to another part of the office to another offsight location to a cornfield in Iowa to a cubicle in D.C. trying to get some reports "available" by "contacting" the USDA. They suck. Maybe the high speed rail network ship has sailed (at least for now), and roads and bridges should be the focus. I don't think we should be providing welfare to corporate farmers. After all, we did nothing to help save the family farm.(Thank you pot smoking Willie Nelson for trying, anyway).

Why you think equal percentages equates to "fair share" when , talking percentages, 46% of Americans pay no taxes and yet receive "refunds" and that is "fair". When someone pays millions in tax revenue equates to someone paying thousands or none at all.
So, yea, there is some confusion.

Emails show Obama administration involvement in killing non-union auto pensions
Matthew Boyle of the Daily Caller reports that internal emails show Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was “the driving force” behind terminating the pensions of 20,000 non-union retirees from the Delphi auto parts manufacturing company, as part of the government’s bailout plan for General Motors. Union workers, on the other hand,“saw their pensions topped off and made whole.”
This decision was supposed to be made by the independent Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which is meant to be free of political influence, so it can represent the interests of private-sector pensioners.
