Fun with numbers!
Tax-dodging magical panties enthusiast Willard Romney tried again to put his tax issue to bed, but I think he just gave it new life, especially following Queen Ann’s comment last night/this morning.
Willard’s tax issue is not dead, and the word taxes is a very vague term. Income taxes? Capital gains taxes, sales taxes, is he saying that all of these things together never made it over 13%? Because, wow, I’d love that.
Also/too: contribution to charity is not a tax, it is a deduction. And besides, isn’t it a bit disingenuous to give big bucks to LDS of which you are a Bishop and to no one else and expect applause for your self-serving generosity? And especially because that money was funneled to groups like NOM and was used to support Prop 8 in California.
Willard and Queen Ann are like caracatures of what over-entitled assholes are like, but instead of being farce they’ve made it a documentary. As I said this morning, if they have so much contempt and disdain for the everyman, why do they want to be public servants?
“Willard and Queen Ann why do they want to be public servants?”
Excellent post and I’m guessing that other than winning the “Game for Old Guys” there’s some big bucks involved (but that’s head-poundingly obvious).

Sorry about the HTML goof and possible double post.
If, like Some Techie’s link suggests, politics is Willard’s golf; he’s not a scratch player.
His handicaps are his personality, his mouth, his background, his business, his tax record and his vice presidential pick.
Dimitrios: Well yeah, but other than those things, he’s great. Mitt would appreciate it if you’d stop bringing those things up.
“Public Servant” isn’t in this guy’s lexicon. He wants to be our CEO, not our servant. The difference in the outcome for both him and us is stark.
Why do they want to be Public Servants? Because, as they both said “it’s our turn.” Entitled ass hats.
Free room and board, good food, ride Air Force One to Utah anytime you want, start wars any time you want, push through Ryan’s tax cuts so you pay ZERO income tax, and show up the old man. For starters.
