Romney said there should be a limit on how much in deductions a person should be able to take, but never placed a limit on the deductions he took
Romney said he wanted to close tax deductions, but he never failed to take one that he was able to
Did Romney say the rich don't pay enough tax? Did Romney advocate raising taxes on the rich? Guess I missed that.
And even though Obama made less money he paid a bigger percentage than the GOP's last presidential nominee. And he gives a substantial amount to charity. What a horrible guy.
No one said that Obama is a horrible guy, he's just a horrible President and leader who doesn't practice what he preaches and doesn't lead by example. I'm sure he'd be a fine neighbor to have living next door though.
No one says Obama is a horrible guy? OK . . . maybe they don't use the word horrible. I can think of a lot of adjectives used to describe him as horrible throughout this site by people of a certain ilk.
Here is a title to another thread started by the author of this original thread starter: "Is obama insane, stupid or malicious?"
Ok, so some people say that he's horrible or worse. So what? Some people say that any politician on the planet is horrible or worse. But, I'm not talking about his politics when I say that he's not a horrible guy. I think he's a good guy who is horrible at politics.
All I said was (Paraphrasing) the implication was that, "Obama is horrible". I was right. You are different from many of his detractors in that you do not think he is a horrible person . . . that is a good thing.
I can't think of any US President who I think were/are bad people. They're all good people as far as I can tell, but some just aren't/weren't good Presidents/leaders.
Andrew Jackson. Dude was a full-on racist who pretty much hated the company of everyone.I can't think of any US President who I think were/are bad people.
And even though Obama made less money he paid a bigger percentage than the GOP's last presidential nominee. And he gives a substantial amount to charity. What a horrible guy.
Yes he gave to charity and took the tax break for that even though he has lobbied to lower that deduction.Hypocrisy on display.
"Like past budget proposals, President Obama’s new budget plan calls—again—for lowering the charitable contribution deduction."
"The current tax code allows individuals to deduct their giving from their overall tax liability at a rate equal to their tax bracket. Obama wants to cap the charitable deduction at what it would be for taxpayers in the 28 percent tax bracket."
Right now, for instance, taxpayers in the top bracket can take a deduction at their 39.6 percent rate. So for every $100 donated, the amount they can deduct overall would fall from $39.60 to $28."
Obama Again Calls for Reducing Charitable Contribution Deduction
He wants to change the law. It's not hypocrisy to follow the law but still want to change it.
Is Romney the ****ing President?
Fine, show me the law that says you are "required" to take advantage of every deduction "permitted" by our tax laws. I won't hold my breath waiting.:lol:
It is called the law of commonsense.
It's called hypocrisy.
No it is not.
I think we have found the source of all this misplaced anger you and your ilk have toward President Obama, he won the election.
Fine, show me the law that says you are "required" to take advantage of every deduction "permitted" by our tax laws. I won't hold my breath waiting.:lol:
You aren't required to own a gun, therefore any people who don't own guns but are against gun control tightening are hypocrites?
Obama says the rich don't pay enough tax then does everything possible to pay as little as possible, if that is not hypocrisy I don't know what is. He should have practiced what he preaches, took no deductions and paid more taxes.
If someone says "Abortions should be illegal!", but they themself just had an abortion, is that hypocrisy?
