Give it up Harry! You're sounding too frantic lately.
Posted: Sep 22, 2012
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Harry. How desperate are you getting now? First you lie about Romney not paying taxes for 10 years ….ON THE SENATE FLOOR YET… and now you make these new claims. You must be very knowledgeable on how to manipulate tax returns. I think I'll check yours out and see what I come up with. Howz that?
Do you really think the American people are that gullible? Do the USA a favor-take your lies, go home…….AND STAY THERE. Don't want you to have a heart attack or stroke while trying to slander Romney. You’re disgusting.
(As a commentary poster stated: "Nevada voters need to get out of the casinos and vote this idiot out of office.")
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., used Mitt Romney’s most recent charitable contributions to suggest that the Republican presidential candidate has committed some sort of tax crime.
“The information released today by Mitt Romney reveals he manipulated 1 of the only 2 y[ea]rs of tax returns he’s seen fit to show the country,” Reid tweeted this evening. “That raises the question: What else in those returns has Romney manipulated?”
Reid was apparently referring to the fact that Romney did not claim all of his charitable contributions for purposes of tax deductions. Romneypaid an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent while donating almost 30 percent (about $4 million) of his income to charity. He only claimed $2.25 million of those donations for tax deductions, which has led some liberals to imply that he was keeping his tax rate artificially high.
“Mitt Romney’s 14.1 percent effective federal tax rate in 2011 would’ve been lower if he’d deducted all of his charitable contributions,” Talking Points Memo argued, explaining that the full charitable giving deduction would have dropped Romney’s effective tax rate to “about 12.2 percent, or possibly lower.” TPM noted that its calculations were “validated by the liberal Center for American Progress,” which also attacked Romney over what it regards as an “accounting trick.”
If Romney’s goal was to pay as high a tax rate as possible for the sake of appearances, he could have taken a page out of the Joe Biden playbook and contributed only 1.5
percent of his income to charity in 2011. (On average, Biden gave $369 a year – 0.2 percent of his income annually — to charitable causes over the last decade.) Romney would have had a much higher effective tax rate, but his church and favored charities would have had a lot less money.
If Romney had given less in charity, Reid would have called him callous. In fact, he did so anyway. “[Romney] says he wants to be president for only half the people but he acts like he only cares for the top two percent,” Reid said, moments after hitting Romney over his charitable donations.

Harry is correct...sm - JTBB
[ In Reply To ..]Romney had already stated that he paid no less than 13%. That's why they did that, to make sure he wasn't caught in yet another lie...lol. Incidentally, you do know he can still go back and file an addendum to claim the full amount? Wanna make a bet he does that right after he loses the election?
Are you a mind reader? - SK1
[ In Reply To ..]You can't say you know why he did what he did. Could be he's actually a decent human being and didn't feel right claiming all of it. Could be he was keeping his percentage artificially high. I won't presume to know. I think the fact that he gave that much at all is pretty darned admirable.
I can respect that the fact that you don't support Romney in this campaign, but I'm not sure what purpose it serves to be so antagonistic about things over which you have no knowledge.
What would make me think that? - JTBB
[ In Reply To ..]This isn't the first time he has retroactively "fixed" and/or lied about his taxes. Remember when he was running for gov in Mass, but had Utah listed as his residence on his taxes...then lied about it...then got caught in that lie...and then said he would retroactively fix it? Yeah...we still haven't seen the results of that.

[ In Reply To ..]Romney didn't have to prove anything but he did - Reid will never be satisfied because he is a moron who has been in his position far too long. He does not even realize how foolish he sounds with his claims, could be dementia setting in. Why isn't he focusing on the problems in this country instead of tax returns anyway. Why is he able to comment on tax returns but nothing else with the "do nothing congress" out of session until AFTER the election, so the important points don't get attention. This administration wlil go down in history as the WORST ever. I have no doubt about that. 4 more years of Obama and the US as we know it will be gone.
None of this has a thing to do with, oh, say, getting - jobs for returning vets? However, a 2011 return
[ In Reply To ..]filled out when he was heavy in planning for a run for the presidency doesn't answer the questions raised by his own behavior.
Mr. Romney required Ryan to provide HIM with 10 years of returns. Why is he still determined to hide his own?
i could ask the same thing about Harry Reid. Where's his returns? - backwards typist

[ In Reply To ..]It was an unfunded $1 billion act that was (another) stop gap measure, not a long term solution.
Per the Navy Times:
Vets’ panel chairman not sold on new jobs bill
By Rick Maze - Staff writer
The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee chairman committed Thursday to taking a closer look at President Obama’s Veterans Job Corps Act but warned that he views it as an expensive and bureaucratic way to provide only temporary employment.
The plan, which has been blocked in the Senate by Republicans, would create jobs in three ways: It would provide grants to pay for temporary jobs in conservation-related work on federal lands and in maintenance of national veterans cemeteries; it would order federal agencies to hire up to 10,000 more veterans; and it would provide hiring preference for veterans in first-responder jobs in law enforcement and firefighting.
Overall, the job corps bill is expected to create 20,000 jobs, many of them temporary, which would put only a small dent in the estimated total of 700,000 jobless veterans.
While the Senate version of the bill, S 3457, was blocked on a procedural point of order raised by Republicans over its $1 billion price tag, Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., introduced a House version of the bill on Sept. 20.
HR 6455, was referred to Miller’s veterans’ affairs committee for consideration, but to pass, it also would have to make it through at least five other committees because of its broad sweep.
Nothing will happen soon, as Congress is taking an election break and will not return to work until November, leaving Brown’s bill and the Senate measure, sponsored by Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., in limbo.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., who as veterans’ committee chairman would play a big role in the fate of Brown’s bill, promised to work with Brown, but noted that the cost per job under the bill is about $50,000 — compared to just $16,000 per job under another initiative, the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program, which was passed by Congress last year.
“We did not start a whole new bureaucracy in order to do what we needed” to do with VRAP, said Miller, the chief sponsor of that program, which has already filled 45,000 openings and has room for an additional 54,000 in a second phase of enrollment that will begin Oct. 1.
The Veterans’ Job Corps Act also is tailored to help only post-9/11 veterans, not those from previous generations. Miller said he would prefer a broader focus.
“I commit to you to work … towards trying to find jobs for those unemployed veterans out there,” Miller told Brown. “Not only those who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, but, certainly, those 35 to 60-year-old individuals who are finding themselves [with] the need to retrain.”
Here's a theory... - During the last election
[ In Reply To ..]John McCain got a look at Mitten's tax returns (or lack of them) and was so horrified that he ended up choosing Caribou Barbie for his running mate, thus effectively ending his candidacy.
McCain shose Palin -
[ In Reply To ..]McCain chose Sarah hoping to improve his numbers with the female vote and to bring some pizzazz to his otherwise lackluster campaign. I like McCain and I don't hate Sarah. May not agree with her on some issues, but she is certainly a strong woman. If any man in politics had been shown the disrespect both personally and even to their family that Sarah Palin has been subject to just because she is a woman, they would not be able to hold up their heads. Of course, no man would be held to that high of a standard, only a woman.
Didn't know McCain was running this year! (nm) - backwards typist

[ In Reply To ..]Now listen carefully, don't get this twisted. Romney stated that because he had already told the American people he had paid no less than 13% in any tax year BEFORE his 2011 returns were finished, he DID NOT WANT TO HAVE LIED to the American people, so he did DELIBERATELY not claim his full charitable amount so as to stay under that 13%. It WAS NOT TO BE DISHONEST but in order to BE HONEST to what he had already said to us, something he prizes highly. I believe he is a very good person. This is exactly the reason he did not rush to release returns to prove anything after Harry's insane accusations, it would not matter what he showed or presented for some people, it would still not be enough. They only wanted to see his tax returns in the first place, hoping they could chew him up over some charity he had contributed to or some make-believe misstep he had made some place. It is evident most die-hard Obama supporters have dealt in lies and deception so long that they do not recognize the truth. The sad thing is they actually do not want to recognize the truth. If President Obama is reelected fairly I will still pay him the respect he deserves as our President. I will stay pray for him, both as a person and as President (which I know irks some of his supporters as well), but if Mitt Romney is elected I will be the happiest gal in the USA.
If he's such an "honest" man...sm - JTBB
[ In Reply To ..]then why did he lie about his residence when he was running for gov?
Residency - Anon
[ In Reply To ..]Don't believe he did. Just because someone says it doesn't make it so. Would that not fall into the same category as those saying Obama lied about where he was born? He is on tape when running for the senate with someone questioning him about being born outside the US, as saying, it didn't matter because he was running for senate and not for President of the United States. Some people say, Ah-hah, he admits he was born outside the US. Now, I am NOT a birther and do not buy this particular theory that he was not born in the USA. I simply do not think he has been a good President and will not vote for him based on that alone. End of discussion.
It's been proven a lie several ways. He claimed to be - living in his son's basement. NM
