Why thats just horse**** son. You cant be stupid enough to believe that so you must instead be deflecting from the obvious truth, which is, coincidentally...deflecting from the facts. Lets talk about any and everything EXCEPT the things that are destroying this country. You obvious allusion to his religion and your continued bigotry is, BTW noted. laughed at...but noted.
Thats pretty pathetic even coming from you. But what is to talk about re Reid? He is a pathetic, lying scumbag, a horrible 'leader', has been in charge of the senate for 5 years now and couldnt pass so much as a budget. There are LOTS of things to discuss there I suppose. Which would you like to start with...his lie about 'proof' that Romney paid no taxes? OK...on topic...GO. Talk about whether or not he should resign. Talk about that strong democrat leadership. (this will be the shortest conversation in history).Bigotry of what? Hey, if Romney is funding cults through his taxes, I'd like to know even if there is no proof he is. As I said, concerned citizen. Why are you so hellbent on distracting from legitimate issues? The thread is about Reid, Romney and taxes. You'd do well to stop trying to derail the thread. We're all here trying to get to the bottom of the issue. :shrug:
What Matters in Romney's Tax Memo - Yahoo! Finance
In an attempt to smear Mitt Romney, about two months ago United States Senator Harry Reid declared that he had inside knowledge that Mitt Romney had not paid any taxes for some of the years over the last decade. This has now been debunked. So the question is, if a United States senator lies about another American's income tax filings in an attempt to smear them, should that trusted member of civilized government be forced to resign?

Oh...and...its funny...you are a Romney 'birther'. :lamo
I dont give a rats ass as long as he isnt breaking the law. And the funny thing is...none of YOU liberals give a **** either...when its a democrat we are talking about. Which says nothing about the rich folk but speaks VOLUMES about the liberals that pretend to give a **** and their complete lack of character.Romney wasn't born in the US? News to me. We will get to the bottom of that legitimate issue in time. Now, what do you think about the fact that Romney pays a lower percentage in taxes than people who make far less than him and surely need the money more?

That was fun...NEXT nontopical response that has nothing to do with Harry Reid. Go.
It has not been debunked! In fact even on IRS forms in which Romney paid less than one third of the percentage that I paid as a full-time working nurse practioner ... it could be zero as he had hundreds of millions hidden offshore. What about the secretive forms from the ten years at Bain and where he invested the money he made while taking a slice of the pie to dismantle companies and jobs to make a handful of people uber wealthy?
Proof Harry lied? No ...proof of Romney's secretive offshore financial record in which he boasts qualifies him him to be POTUS. No!
I do not think Reid is perfect yet on many issues he is right on target! That was a bold move Reid pulled ... a boxing move ... now if Romneyy wants to open it up and 'prove" Reid lied ...well Reid would be the first to say Bring it on! Romney is a rich boy used to people placating him and Reid is a man.
Nevada is such a bizarre state imho ... I am curious how it will go ... lots of Mormans. I only go to Nevada to bike in the canyons ... I hate Vegas.
Former boxer and patriot ...Harry Reid is badass!
Reid has less reason to resign than Romney!

let me guess... you are comparing his effective tax rate to other peoples marginal tax rate...correct?
wow... there's a huge difference between what your wiki graphic says and what the CBO and the center for tax policy says...
here's a CBO pdf..
http://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/ftpdocs/57xx/doc5746/08-13-effectivefedtaxrates.pdf
here is the Tax Policy Centers numbers.
Baseline Tables: Effective Tax Rates by Cash Income Percentile; Baseline: Current Law, 2010
I think i'll stick with my 2 sources over an anonymous wiki graphic..
you paid over 40% effective rate on your taxes?.. i find that incredibly hard to believe... impossible to believe, actaully.
the average effective income tax rate ( excluding fica) for each quintile are as follows
1st : -6.8
2nd: -0.4
3rd : 3.3
4th : 6.2
5th : 14.4
Historical Effective Federal Tax Rates for All Households
it seems Romney has paid on par with his economic peers
and you are in your own special class of uber-super-duper-ultra-rich nurses... with a 40+% effective rate.:lol:
Do you think there is a difference between lying about yours or someone else's policies, making promises you find out you can't keep, and saying that you have special knowledge that someone else has defrauded taxpayers, is a felon, or something like that? Same question as above, what if Speaker Boehner said he had personally reviewed the birth certificate files in Hawaii and determined Obama wasn't born there, should he resign for a lie like that?
From the swiftboating of Kerry to the comment that Obama "pals around with terrorists" I find it disingenuous when Republicans huff and puff over the Reid comment. You guys have done a great job lowering the bar of political discourse. In fact you've been so effective that nobody cares that Reid made those comments.
We know he paid more in taxes than many rich democrats AND he gives more to charitable causes in both dollar amounts and percentages. Thats what you 'learned'. Oh...and as has been pointed out...we learned already that as governor he actually passed a state run medical reform system, long before liberals passed one at the fed level. We also have had it made abundantly clear that this is only relevant to you when it involves a republican.Who said it had nothing to do with Harry Reid? Reid was the one who pushed Romney into releasing some percentage of his tax returns. Now we know more about him than we ever have. I mean his positions on anything change day to day. But tax releases? They say a lot about who he is as a person. For example, now we know he wants to reduce income tax from 35% to 25%, an admirable idea which his own taxation doesn't reflect. He also raised taxes in Massachusetts by fees. None of which really affected him. We know he's not concerned about the poor or the homeless. Essentially his returns have shown he is exactly what people painted Obama as in the last election. He's an elitist who probably doesn't have interactions with the rest of America outside of hiring them as maids.

How has Reids claim been debunked? Where are Romney's tax forms from 2007,2008, 2009? I'm sure there are some years there that he paid no taxes in.

He was asked for 10 years. He released 1? Why?
