Breaking: Romney Paid Zero Taxes From 1996 To 2009

Harry Reid was right.  Bloomberg  finally cracked the story...
Using a tax shelter called a CRUT (charitable remainder unitrust)   that was held by the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons),  Mitt Romney was able to pay zero taxes (legally) every single year from 1996 to 2009.  Why did he

This headline/article is inaccurate. See rex_dart's comments further down.

Forever hilarious. Do you have the context?

[welurklate]

I don't and honestly, who knows w/Shaq

Now let's see how this is picked up.

If it's picked up.

[rex_dart]

Hopefully it won't be picked up like this, since this article is wrong.

Was the Bloomberg article wrong? I read that one rather than this.

[rex_dart]

No, the Bloomberg one is correct. The article posted here is wrong; there's no implication that this means Romney didn't pay ANY taxes.

Doesn't surprise me. He's a lying sack of shit.

I'm fucking tired of all of this rn. I think that churches should have to pay taxes. I want the government to further separated church and state.

I agree. Churches should definitely have to pay taxes - it's not like they aren't already influencing the government. =/

If we're charging the Vatican taxes, you can charge churches, America.

[shadowwolf1321]

I don't get why the hell we don't.

The Churches have way too much power and influence. I think it's high time someone knock them down a peg or six.
