I think you just did, but I believe you are a conservative.

So, they net less than $300K from a gross of $480K.

Much higher than Romney's 15% from the capital gains from his Swiss accounts.

That's correct, but I'm pointing out that there's a distinct lack of outrage from people who make that their mantra in life. Odd, right? Right.

Britt, what about this is "Developing"? Or are you trying to imply it is some big scandal in waiting?

How did he pay for his vacations? I've read numerous stories that he pays some of his vacation expenses out of pocket?

What outrage are you looking for? I think net worth should be taxed so that the wealthy can't just cook the books to look like they made no money and are equal to the working poor.

I think you've been misinformed. The closest he got, I believe, was recently when his wife went on a trip to China where they claimed it was "personal" (and prevented the press from attending). She paid for the plane tickets at regular first-class rates -- meaning, what you would pay. However, that was the extent of it.

Uh, what? What outrage am I looking for? You mean liberals can't muster any outrage over a rich person getting richer if they're liberal unless I direct them? So you guys ARE puppets?

Isn't is sad that you guys are so inconsistent and hypocritical?
