GOP Romney , won't release his taxes? Why? Like most billionaires, they pay less than you!

The GOP is a scam

[lollalot]

They need to pay more because they horde money they don't need. Money isn't infinite. Some rich people can afforde to pay a couple of million in Tax and then jump back into theur olympic-sized swimming pool of cash. If you suggest that the rich stop paying for things they don't use and the poor pay all of it, the government won't be able to afford anything and we'll soon turn into 3rd world countries like Zimbabwe.

To all those who are saying that the rich should pay more in taxes because they have too much: who are you to tell me how much money I can make? Liberals say they are all for personal freedom, but these liberals seem to not like having the personal freedom to make more money than them. Hippicrits. It is my word for these assholes.

Well! That's enough Home Depot for me, fuck this fucking cunt of a CEO of theirs.

Anybody know of real alternatives? Would Lowe's, Menards count?

I think you over generalize when it comes to circ. forces. Some can be controlled/mitigated/prevented ahead of time, where others just cant. As a society, we can and should do more to mitigate the outrageous wealth disparity we currently see.

Sorry about my previous comment, as I was clearly wrong about you. However, I believe that when people like you just graciously accept the ways of the system, you in fact help the rich and greedy get richer at our expense.

I work for only tips, and I get by on $100-200/wk. It's higher than those who don't get anything.

I see circumstantial forces as uncontrollable. Accidents, disasters, it happens. Not tyrannical at all, just unfortunate.

I'm confident that most people would agree with you. People always want more. I think that's why outsourcing occurs. Good luck.
