Tax codes are created by the rich for the rich! Of course Romney did it legally, it is all stacked in his favor! His embarrassment is where he invests his money! And wher he shelters it to keep from paying taxes that would benefit our country.

Really? I thought tax codes were created by Congress. In fact, I could have sworn that was the case regarding pretty much any law of the land. Now maybe what you are trying to claim is, Congress represents only rich people? But most of the Senate is Democrat, and almost half of the House is Democrat, so they must be representing only the rich as well, eh? And when Obama extended the Bush tax cuts, and said it would be a detriment to our economy to allow them to expire, as he took credit for saving us from a terrible fate... he must have been lying to us about that, and representing only the rich!

I guess we need to just declare Anarchy and dismantle the Federal government, if all they are going to do is represent only the rich!

Most members of Congress are the 1%, Dixie and they get hefty support from the rich. The wealthy are the ones who get the face to face meetings with our representatives. They dictate policy more than the average citizen. It is apparent by the fact that the majority of citizens support the single payer insurance, but apparently Congress felt the will of the people was not important.

So you also cannot distinguish the gravity of ten years tax returns vs college transcripts?

You are one stupid sorry fucker. At least Dixie is insane. What is your excuse?

Yes, Dixie, we are ruled by oligarchs. Fucking duh. Take 2 less stupid pills and call me in the morning.
 
A comparison of apples (Obamas grades) and oranges (Romney's tax returns) occurs when two items or groups of items are compared that cannot be validly compared.
The idiom, comparing apples and oranges, refers to the apparent differences between items which are popularly thought to be incomparable or incommensurable, such as apples and oranges. The idiom may also be used to indicate that a false analogy has been made between two items, such as where an apple is faulted for not being a good orange."

Logic, common sense and the character of the candidate mean nothing to the rabid right.

Who said 'character counts'? Oh yea it was Limabugh a few yrs ago.

IMO the fact that Romney is hiding his tax returns speaks volumes about his character and the character of his followers.

It is apparent you don't understand how much lobbying affects government, you are very misinformed!

IMO the fact that Obama is hiding his academic records speaks volumes about his character and the character of his followers.

I will add... Conservatives are all in favor of Romney releasing his tax records if Obama releases his academic records... while Liberals continue to try and stubbornly cling to a hypocritical double standard. Their guys should be able to hide and conceal whatever they please, but our guys can't.

Liberals don't want transparency... they want one of those security mirrors that only works one way.

Yeah, so why aren't you out there with the Occutards, lobbying for Anarchy? Sounds like that's our only hope! If Congress is only representing the rich, and we're all getting screwed no matter what party is in power, what other alternative do we really have? You fuckwits seem to want to believe politicians who lie to you and claim they represent the 99%, when they obviously don't. How much sense does that make? You're telling me they are all part of the 1% Club, looking out for each other... but hey, at least the Democrats lie to us and say what we want to hear! Obama tells us neat things like 'social justice' and 'spread the wealth' and even though his actions are completely contradictory to this by extending the Bush tax cuts and claiming it would destroy the economy not to do it and he's a hero for saving us from that terrible fate... that's okay, he said the right stuff before he catered to the 1% Club like they all do!

Either stand up for your fucking principles here, or get the hell off the soapbox!

There are none so blind as those who will not see. I do stand up for my principles, the principles of we the people, not we the corporations or we the Citizens United. You are the one whose values change, constantly!

Not when someone is refusing to release them, regarding your brilliantly made point that they must be hiding something.

Nope.. don't see any difference at all, can you explain it to me?

Yes. Obama never said publicly that he wouldn't release his grades. As far as I know, he wasn't even asked outright. Whereas Ann Rmoney was quite firm in stating "There's going to be no more tax releases given."

In any case you're comparing apples to oranges and it's a feeble comparison no matter how you slice it. Obama and Biden released twelve years' worth of tax returns here. All you have to work with is this BS repub meme that Obama's college grades are just as important as Rmoney's tax returns. Anybody with two brain cells to rub together can see how much you're floundering to defend Rmoney.

It was already stated; When a person refuses to release things, they must be hiding something... plain and simple.

But see... this standard just doesn't apply to Obama!

How does one's poor grades have any effect on the USA, did you demand the same of past Presidents? George Bush comes to mind!

Like I said, I am more interested in how he obtained acceptance into some the most prestigious universities, not his grades. How does Romney's past tax returns have any effect on the USA?
