The Blodgett boys are at it again, both of these guys are wonderful fellas, but never forget that wonderful people can and do practice witchcraft. If they could put you in a trance they will in a heartbeat.
Todd wants to convince you that it’s OK to park your money off shore, even if you’re running for president. Yeah sure, you bet. Doesn’t everyone have off shore accounts? Just because I don’t does not mean most of you do not have such deposits sequestered in other countries. If by some stroke of bad luck, Mitt was elected, he’d be the first president with the type of accounts the I.R.S. Has been searching for for decades.
Let me tell you something that is easy to understand; if you’re going to the Cayman Islands instead of the Bank of America on the corner right near your home….you got reasons most other people will never have. In his complex computations that Todd expects you to grasp; couldn’t be figured out by a Harvard business graduate…even if they cheated. What he said is 99% gibberish…the other 1% is pure bullshit. That said, you can bet everything you have or ever hope to have, that Mitt has his money in more than one off shore haven under so many different corporate headings that Scotland Yard couldn’t find it.
I never once thought Mitt would try to launder any money, he’s perfectly happy to leave whatever dirt might be on it just were it is. Mitt Romney would do anything, say anything to anyone who would listen, anywhere, anyplace needed just to sit behind that desk in the oval office; that is the only thing you need to remember. If you want him there, if he’s your kind of fella, then vote for him. But know before hand what he did to American workers….and if you are an American worker…you better cover your ass as tight as you possibly can.
There are no challenges left for Mitt; he’s bored and wants whatever his money can but him. The presidency belongs to you, the voter, did you know that? The White House belongs to you as well and all the furniture in it; if you want to sell it to the likes of someone who will only reveal one or two years of his earnings, has the need to park money off shore, has an elevator in his garage just to move cars around….then Mitt is standing in your front yard now with cash in his hand ready to pay any amount you ask. Hell he might even have more than one wife…there is a lot about this guy you will never know, it could be the money is the least of it….look out the window, he’s there waiting with the money. Me, well I’m not selling to him.

The ironic thing is, while Obama tries to portray Romney as Mr. Evil Moneybags–which he probably is–Obama has never seen a free trade bill which he doesn’t love and has supported Wall Street financial shenanigans.
In other words, Obama has fully supported and pushed for the very policies which have allowed Romney to offshore money and jobs.
Where are the debates on the issues of free trade, financial fraud by banksters, our expanding military empire, our surveillance state, our long gone bill of rights, the war on drugs, etc.?
There won’t be any debates because those issues are all bipartisan.
Robama/Obamney will be elected because he is running unopposed as the candidate of the Permanent Institutional Republico-Democratic Party.
Pete, I have much of my money to an off shore account. My money was moved two years ago when this lunatic we have for a President was well into his spending spree. I want a safe haven for my money and can make a better return on my savings. Nothing wrong with that. Mitt Romney has the same rights the rest of us has.
I rue the day I voted for this Socialist bum we have for a President. He tricked the American people but we are wise to him now.
His days are numbered. I have talked to Democrats all over this country that don’t support this fellow Barack Obama.
Sorry

No. Greedy unions are responsible for the outsourcing that happened in this country. They made more and more demands on employers that they couldn’t afford. Americans wanted cheaper cars, chocolate, phones, computers, whatever, and American factories couldn’t provide them because of high labor costs. Blame the unions and consumers, NOT employers or Mitt Romney! Americans did it to themselves.
WTH, without those “greedy” unions, most people in this country would still be making minimum wage. My husband works for a company and is a union member. We make a living wage, that’s it, nothing more. So if you think all the blame should be on the union’s and its members, think again! How’s about these companies take a little less in profits and quit giving the six figure bonuses to upper management who certainly don’t deserve it. Quit laying this shit on th backs of American workers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deere workers were paid upwards of $30 per hour in the 80’s, they now make less than $20. How is it the union’s fault?
Peter try writing something that is not fueled by hate or selfish desire.
PETER…you weren’t born in ’34, you were hatched!
And MATH ISN’T THAT MUCH…Just so you won’t show yourself stupid in the future, there are two kinds of deductions when filing income taxes, standard and itemized.
Since few people have enough itemized deductions, they take the standard along with the deductions for yourself and your dependents. If you itemize you would get a deduction for the amount of interest you paid on your home plus a deduction for the amount of property taxes you paid. Few have more than that, therefore, a standard deductions gives them a higher deduction.
By the way, giving to a charity…we know Gov. Romney gives at least 10 percent to the church, it’s not a dollar for dollar write-off…it’s more like 10 cents on the dollar.
Businesses, on the other hand, can write-off dollar for dollar as that money goes toward its operating expenses and figures in its net profit. If it takes 75 cents to make a dollar, then it is taxed on the 25 cents. To any thinking person that makes sense…you’d probably rather they pay on the entire $1
Hey bad azz sounds like you and your dboyz done picked the wrong guy to try to roll when you went after Blodget. I say to bad he didnt take out after all you no accounts MC would of been better off with out your kind.heck yes. if I see Todd Blodget around I will tell him that next time he should let you and your homeys have it.
Romney should be tried in court for economic genocide against American facrory workers.
Buffet and Gates set up foundations that will save lots of the money they have accumulated from taxes. That way they have more control over how their money is spent rather than giving it to the govt to dole out and perhaps waste. Is that okay with everybody?
Romney’s tax returns show he donated 7 million to charity in the last two years. How much did you give to charity?
U be right about Todd Blodgett he act like he some tuff dude u must know the honky to.Next time cracka pull he gun on me and my homeys he go down Im sayin and that be 4 real.yo dboyz h8 Blodgett bcuz he be a h8 full honky the cracka best watch he back bcuz he on my shit list and we aint playin.
To “Just My Opinion”:
Thank you for your rebuttal. I could care less if you are anonymous or not. It’s your comments that I’ll debate. That’s showing a higher level of maturity by focusing on the right part of the story.
What makes you think Romney is stealing from us by not paying any taxes? Did you get that from the media? The media likes those headlines. They realize must of us only read the headlines. Rarely do we do any research. Well I’m here to tell you Romney pays the taxes he’s required to by law. What he avoids by his Cayman Island thing is
what’s called a UBIT tax. Do you know what that is. Research it. It stands for UNRELATED BUSINESS ICOME TAX. You do some research on it and tell me what YOU think of it. Now, I’m not a Romney fan. I just want to set the record straight. He’s not stealing from us. He’s not doing anything illegal. If he was, he’d be indicted right now. So if it’s NOT illegal and just a matter of being business savy, if you had millions you could save by being savy…NOT ILLEGAL, would YOU do it?
Anyone who says if they could avoid paying a tax to the government LEGALLY BUT chooses to give them their money anyway is a liar and a hypocrite. So why the big fuss about Romney doing the same damn
thing? Because they want Big O to stay in office. I’ll garanddamntee you there’s money behind it too. Romney’s not my first choice but he’s
better than the alternative. I’m all for a black American President. I just wish THAT’S what we had. AND one that’s not a hypocritical LIAR.
Do the ACTUAL research folks. Don’t go off of what the media tells you. They tell you what they WANT you to know and you follow them like good little sheep. Break the chain. Make your mind your own. Don’t let it be the mind that someone else gives you.
We don’t need that taxi cab with both doors open four more years…He’s been a total failure for four years, increased the deficit by 5 trillion at more than a trillion a year and wants to spend more in his next term. This election will hinge on whether the 50 some percent vote…the 50 that get welfare, food stamps, etc. etc.The intelligent “class” understand you cannot keep spending…no one nor country have ever borrowed their way out of debt. Just check with all the cities who have declared bankruptcy…and there are many more to come. By the way, GMC has been selling cars at a pretty good pace…that is if you think people buying with subpar credit are a good risk…these are the same people who broke the housing market. The number of subpar loans for GM cars is close to 95 percent of the loans.
Pete Children and some of you are just jealous that you aren’t rich enough to hide money overseas. We all are. All kinds of politicians do it and have done it in the past. It just wasn’t known because it was hush-hush and the media didn’t talk about that stuff and the Internet didn’t exist. It may not be right or legal, but it has been done for years.If you cast stones at him, audit every single person in government!
Mitt Romney is a generous, altruistic person who is a proven manager. He turned the 2002 Olympics around, did the job without pay, and contributed $1,000,000 to the Games. He also turned Massachusetts around by balancing their budget without increasing taxes, decreasing unemployment by 1.7%, and trimming a lot of waste from their bureaucracy. He gave his entire inheritance from his father to BYU. I would expect anyone who has his wealth to use all the tax advantages available to all of us to reduce his tax bill. I bet we would be astounded at the dollar amount he contributes to charity every year. His management skills are exactly what this country needs right now. Obama certainly didn’t follow through with his line-by-line cutting the fat from the budget. He added trillions of dollars MORE.
Maybe Mitt can get the unions to understand that they are the ones who caused all the outsourcing. They can’t get so greedy that employers want nothing to do with them or their workers and that consumers can’t afford to buy the products their plants were producing. Face it. We want cheap goods & services (tech support) made with cheap labor. We caused the outsourcing, not Mitt.
I thought this site was supposed to be different from the Globe. The more I read it I see it’s just a typical liberal media site.
Did you care that Kennedy was mega rich?
Roosevelt had plenty of money.
We can elect rich, rich democrats but not republicans?
That makes no sense.

The hallmark of believably is standing behind what you say; without that basic principle it all make believe. No one is coming to your door, that is only a cheap excuse by someone with no spine.
Geeeeeeze…. Do you or L ever wake up in the morning and say, “I have nothing to bitch about?”
Peter Children in his obviously not very wise old age, paints the picture he wants you to believe. He doesn’t tell you that Romney’s company buys companies that are broken and brings in management teams to fix it. If it is a lost cause, the company is broken up and absorbed into other companies of his. The point is, the company was destined to close ANYWAY. He takes something broken and fixes it one way or another. Peter chastises his him for what is better known as the American Dream. Why shouldn’t Romney make money doing what obviously he is good at? Wouldn’t YOU do the same if you could. Don’t try to bullshit me Peter. You would. It’s funny how people that don’t have money like to bitch about those that do. You have a brain and two hands. Use them. Make money. If a kid can build an empire with a computer (facebook, and that internet yearbook thing), then what’s your excuse? Hmm….desire. The desire to do it YOURSELF. You’d rather someone just hand it to you? I have more pride than that. It’s a shame you don’t. But, you already have enough money don’t you Peter? So why do you care about Romney’s?
Better Mitt than a guy whose main idea is to turn this great country into a socialist, welfare state that borders on communism. Obviously, Peter is one of these idiots who lives off everyone else and likes it. Up until now I somewhat enjoyed his ramblings and disjointed publications, but now I see he is just another damn liberal who wants everything without haveing to work for it. I am not 100% behind Mitt but I am 120% against the guy who is taking down our country.
Tell me why we should listen to the bullshit ramblings of an 80+ year old man??
Besides, its Romney’s money. He has the right to do with it as he sees fit right?
No one cares what obmama does with the country’s money, why should it matter how Romney handles his?
