Where Mitt screwed up was not releasing his taxes long ago without having to be asked. He should have been loud and proud, he should have been saying that he will push for policies that would make it easier for people to keep more of their money instead of sending so much to the government. But he fell for the Dim line that that somehow rich people don’t deserve to be rich and seems to have tried to hide it when it was obvious to anyone who took a moment to look.
I appreciate that people invest their money, it helps keep the economy going and creates jobs and he could have been making that point all along. I appreciate that I could be wealthy too with ambition and the right decisions.
One of the few things from Romney I liked from the debate was him saying - “Would anyone want a president who paid more taxes than they have to.”
That needs be Gingrich’s next attack point on the dems and Obama.
On yesterday’s “The Five” Dana said that in 68 Rockeffelor didn’t want to release his tax forms because he was afraid people would find out that he was not as rich as they thought. How far we have come. It is a complete 180 from celebrating success to demonizing it!
