One Billion people around the world make less than $1/day. THREE Billion make less than $2/day. Women sell their bodies and daughters to people like Swamp to try and survive another day. But hell yeah, the Mitt Romney's of the world "deserve" their multi-millions and all legal means of avoiding paying taxes. Because, that's the ethical thing to do.
Let's see, Gates has the Gates Foundation, what does Mitt do? 10% to his church? on $200+ million? How about he go 90% and try and get by on a paltry $20 million?
So what are you trying to say? That everyone that makes more than $2/day should be giving their money away to others?
This type of class warfare is typical liberal histrionics. Liberals hate Mitt because he's SUCCESSFUL and doesn't share his hard-earned money with lazy deadbeats and welfare cheats that don't contribute to the economy or society.
Hey, seamar and all the other liberal hypocrites around here.... why don't YOU donate 90% of your money to a legitimate charity and post evidence of your largesse on this site? Maybe then, you can criticize someone who made a fortune without sounding like a whiny *****.
No Todd. What I am trying to point out is that while many of us ***** about paying taxes, we routinely spend twice the daily income for 43% of the world's population for a cup of coffee. Perhaps we should all ***** less, be thankful for what we have, and consider what we can do to try and mitigate the effects of poverty where ever we see it, rather than justify it. Predatory, un-restrained capitalism is not the way to do that. Some people do consider the "love of money to be the root of all evil."
