I am not a Mitt Romney fan, as my history will surely attest.

I have to ask, though: since when is taking a tax break a bad thing?

The idea that a tax break is a bad idea or wrong, presupposes that the government or someone else had more of a right to my money than I did.

I earned my money, just as Romney did his.

This is a ridiculous, silly, super-duper liberal argument.

Its not the tax breaks that bothers conservatives, its the stuffing the pockets of politicans with millions and millions of dollars to buy the tax breaks that makes them angry. Its the selective favortism that the money buys, its the bailouts, its the cronyism. Businesses have NO Business being in bed with gov. officals, seeking and buying political favors.

Targeted tax brakes, where government picks so-called "winners" by giving some people some of their tax money back is not a free market principle.
