If he gave zero it would be OK with me. If he gives more I hope he is
careful who he gives it to.

I heard a couple times today that 0bama gave a whole 1%.

Well, he's a taker not a giver. Although, he "gives" it to the American

It appears that your beliefs agree with the Obamas more than the Romneys. I thought you believed that if people needed any charity, it was always their fault and there is no excuse for needing charity. Which side of your two faces are you talking out of today?

Also, I like the way you post "facts" with your statment above starting with " I heard". You are really something.

You really are too stupid to be part of any conversation. I have never
said that people never find themselves in a situation where they need
help - if you can find such a statement, quote it here, or admit that
you are a liar.

What I have said many, mamu times is that that help should NEVER come
out of tax money - it should come from family, friends, churches, civic
groups, and private charities. I realize you are too stupid to
understand the difference, but it is not charity for the government to
help the needy, it is theft.

I never claimed it was a fact - I reported exactly what information I
had, and where it came from - I heard it on the radio a couple different
times (may have heard it on TV too, can't recall for sure). Again, I
never claimed it as anything other than what it was - something I heard
on the radio.

And I don't need to hear that you are an idiot, you prove it here every
time you post.

It's not worth my time to find your posts, but.....

If Romney felt it was the right thing to do with so much of his own money, think of how much of our money he is going to give away.

I think you should vote for Obama who doesn't give so much of his money because that seems to fit your agenda.

It's gotta be really hard for you to see the world operate 180 degrees from what you want it to and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

I can't figure out what it is that passes for thought in what passes for
a your brain that would make you think that because I oppose government
giveaways, I would also oppose private giving.

Are you completely incapable of seeing a difference between having
someone steal your money and you deciding to give it away?

Really, just how stupid are you?

By the way, the evidence demonstrates that people who believe in giving
their own money to charity don't feel compelled to steal other people's
money to give it away. That is why conservatives are more charitable
than liberals.

You and other blind RORT conservatives missed my point. My point was... If he gives that much of his own money, think how much he will give away of yours".

Why do you think there should be a correlation
between what someone did with HIS money and
what hey did/will do with OUR MONEY ?

There is no record of Obama EVER giving away any
of HIS money and he spent 5 trillion OF OUR
MONEY, in 3+ years.

If the correlation is the same as Obama, (doing
the opposite with our money as he did with his)
Romney will not spend ANY of our money.

But your "logic" is non-existent. Romney has a habit of
VOLUNTARILY giving away his money. Obama has a habit of giving
away money that he did not earn and belongs to someone else.

But he does do it! That's what matters, not some hypothetical imaginary
wishful thinking "stream of conscience" by a 14 year bubble gumming,

Maybe none as Romney understands private property rights verses Obama's
philosophy of taxing the rich in order to fund the poor.

That said I don't understand what the correlation is between the two actions
you described. Do you have any evidence that lead you to your conclusion?

Yep. Mike!

http://politicaloutcast.com/2012/09/romney-paid-more-in-taxes-than-99...

Romney Paid More in Taxes than 99% of all Americans

This came as a shock even to me. The media have been doing a great
job
in propagandizing for Team Obama by making a campaign issue out of
the
fact that Mitt Romney “only” paid around 14 percent in taxes.
Consider
the following from the mostly liberal Washington Post: “[A]bout 96
percent of all taxpayers have a lower average [Federal income] tax
rate than Romney.”

“More precisely, in 2010, somewhere between 90 and 95 percent of
Americans had a lower effective income tax rate than Romney’s 13.9
percent. In 2011, somewhere between 95 and 97 percent of Americans
had
a lower effective income tax rate than Romney’s 15.4 percent, at
least
according to the latest IRS data from 2010.”

Romney pays millions of dollars in taxes — millions — and liberals
like Harry Reid, who has not released his tax returns, still say that
Romney is not paying his “fair share.” Consider these amazing tax
statistics:

“The most recent Complete Report of Individual Tax Returns for 2010
from the IRS has a nice table on page 25 showing average tax rates by
income group from 1986 to 2010. In 2010, the average income tax rate
paid by all taxpayers was 11.8 percent — clearly less than the
roughly
14 percent average income tax rate Romney paid last year. Most
taxpayers earning under $100,000 pay an average rate of less than 9%.
Those earning between $50,000 and $60,000 pay an average income tax
rate of 6.5 percent.”

This is all because 47 percent (58 million) of all people who get a
pay check don’t pay any federal income taxes. The claim that the
“rich” are not paying “their fair share” is one of the biggest
liberal
lies out there, nearly as bad as “We’re from the government and are
here to help you.”

Another thing. Because the Romneys are millionaires, they buy a lot
of
stuff. Every time they purchase something, they pay sales taxes,
excise taxes, and other mandated taxes that consumers never see but
are tacked on to motel and hotel bills, telephone bills, gasoline,
and
nearly everything we buy. Moreover, every time they buy or build
something, their purchases go a long way to employ people as their
spent money ripples through the economy.

It would be interesting to see the effect that a spent dollar has on
the economy as compared to a taxed dollar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which also means that he stimulated our economy more than 99% of All
Americans. Did Obama?

Nope! And never will because he will never give like Romney does.

Meanwhile, here on RORT, we even have Trolls trying to sell patches
for used condoms to raise money for the DNC.

You really aren't worth the keystrokes to correct, but you are wrong
once again. When you say "It takes one to know one" - that is not a
matter of opinion, it is a claim of fact, and is WRONG - simply on it's
face, it is wrong. It does not take a dog to know a dog, it does not
take a tree to know a tree, and it does not take a moron to know that
you are a moron. In fact, smarter people will recognize your stupidity
much faster than stupid people - so, you, as always, are wrong.

Secondly, you really shouldn't get into a discussion about about
smart/stupid if you can't spell a simple word like "masturbation."
