Mitt Romney’s tax returns, finally released, reveal a staggering level of wealth and attempts to evade his already low 15% effective tax rate.

As Jesus said: “Blessed are the politicians, for their wealth will increase the sufferings of the poor — who will be with you always.”
Did Jesus actually say that? I have always thought that jesus was just a fictional dude. Do fictional people have sayings? Aside from that, who would want a guy like Romney for a candidate even if he could rely on fictional sayings? Admittedly, he has done well with the millions he enherited and has used to kep his money flowing, but what does that have to do with being President? I don’t want a guy who has manipulated the economic laws of our country to enrich himself, and actually helped “make” the laws he used to do it. He should be ashamed for trying to say that he is “connected’ to the common middle -class people that his party is trying so hard to make disappear. What a useless tool!
Never mind his tax return. Mitt Romney should produce his birth certificate. Wasn’t his father a Mexican?
Donald Trump needs to get to the bottom of this!
What America would be like under a Romney administration:
* Mitt Romney will fulfill the prophesy of 2 Nephi 10:19 (Book of Mormon) and turn America into a Mormon nation.
* Mitt Romney will bring back Prohibition and make it stick.
* Every town and city in America will have a statue of Joseph Smith.
* The U.S. capital will be moved to Salt Lake City, Utah.
* Mitt Romney will declare marriage to be a union between a man and a woman.. and another woman… and another woman… and so on.
* Magic underwear will be tax-deductible.
* When we send our diplomats around the world, the world will turn out its lights and pretend no one’s at home.
* * *
Has Newt Gingrich considered converting to Mormonism? Just a thought.
Mitt Romney’s tax returns have done more damage to the finances of the super-rich than 10,000 days of Occupy Wall Street ever will.
Go figure. All people needed was to see it in black and white. Warren Buffett couldn’t make people understand, GE paying no taxes couldn’t make people understand, but put Mittens’ tax returns out there and dawn breaks over Marblehead.

I’m sharing that with a few Mormon fans, that’s histerical!
A «choice» between Willard Mitt Romney and Newton Leroy Gingrich ? And the winner gets to meet Barack Hussein Obama ? Wow ! Now that’s what I call «democracy» ? No wonder the United States is continually starting wars in countries all around the world, in order to bring this precious gift to their benighted inhabitants !…
