Mitt Romney: 'I Never Paid Less Than 13 Percent' In Taxes


Yes.

I urge other readers and commenters to cut and paste my comment, and email it to the media under their own names, or write a letter of their own asking the question "Did Romney participate in the 2009 Tax Amnesty Program?".

Mitt Romney: 'I Never Paid Less Than 13 Percent' In Taxes


"The Romney campaign clarified to pool reporters later in the day that he was, indeed, "referring to federal income taxes" when he said he paid a rate above 13 percent over the past 10 years."
If Romney participated in the IRS Tax Amnesty Program in 2009, both Reid and Romney can be telling the truth.

It's been speculated that, among many reasons, it's the IRS's Tax Amnesty Program in 2009 that Romney is probably trying to hide.

In 2008, a whistleblower at Swiss bank UBS informed the IRS that American clients held thousands of Swiss accounts at the bank to avoid paying US taxes.  UBS initially refused to give up the names of those with accounts citing Swiss law, but eventually caved, gave up the names, and paid a substantial $780 million fine.

But the IRS didn’t prosecute those tax evaders. Instead, it decided to establish (in 2009) the so-called “special tax amnesty program,” which gave legal immunity and limited penalities to those who voluntarily turned themselves in (read: free ride).  It also kept these names anonymous.

So then: Did Romney, who disclosed that he had a Swiss bank account at least in 2010, take advantage of this program?  Why won’t he come clean with American voters? 

And why the cut-off at 2010 for Paul Ryan's returns?  Did he also participate in the 2009 amnesty program?  Given the wealth his wife brought into the marriage, it's conceivable.

And why aren’t more people asking these questions?  If we want the media to get to the bottom of this, cut and paste this under your own name and send it to them all.  Flood their email.

Now before Obama's 'most ardent fans' get too excited, remember that it was Obama's IRS that instituted this tax amnesty program, with its secrecy.   I anticipate Obama's supporters will now defend him and the program, but what they can't get around is that when it comes to getting justice for the American people, the 99%, Obama can't be bothered.  He's weak tea, like how his DoJ just ended investigations of Goldman Sachs, "declining not to bring any prosecutions".  

Both parties, corrupt to the core.

Julian Assange Granted Asylum By Ecuador; Britain Vows To Extradite Him To Sweden


Do you understand that both women admit that the sex was consensual?  There are no charges pending against Assange.  What constitutes rape in Sweden is that it happened without a condom. 

How this came to be a criminal matter was Assange's document dump on Wikileaks.  The women were, admittedly, groupies who went after Assange (one of the women has ties to the CIA).  Even after the alleged 'rape' they went online to speak well of Assange.  It was only after they learned of each other, that they weren't Assange's 'only', that they sought to punish him by talking to the police.  One of the women has already backtracked and retracted her complaint.

Julian Assange Granted Asylum By Ecuador; Britain Vows To Extradite Him To Sweden


Assange Accuser Worked with US-Funded, CIA-Tied Anti-Castro Group:

Apparently having consensual sex in Sweden without a condom is punishable by a term of imprisonment of a minimum of two years for rape. That is the basis for a reinstitution of rape charges against WikiLeaks figurehead Julian Assange that is destined to make Sweden and its justice system the laughing stock of the world and dramatically damage its reputation as a model of modernity.

Sweden’s Public Prosecutor’s Office was embarrassed in August this year when it leaked to the media that it was seeking to arrest Assange for rape, then on the same day withdrew the arrest warrant because in its own words there was “no evidence”. The damage to Assange’s reputation is incalculable. More than three quarters of internet references to his name refer to rape. Now, three months on and three prosecutors later, the Swedes seem to be clear on their basis to proceed. Consensual sex that started out with a condom ended up without one, ergo, the sex was not consensual.

Assange’s alleged victim – the gender equity officer at Uppsala University – chose to throw a party for her alleged assailant – after they’d had the sex that even Swedish prosecutors concede was consensual.

[The] phenomena of social networking through the internet and mobile phones constrains Swedish authorities from augmenting the evidence against Assange because it would look even less credible in the face of tweets by Anna Ardin and SMS texts by Sofia Wilén boasting of their respective conquests after the “crimes”.

In the case of Ardin it is clear that she has thrown a party in Assange’s honour at her flat after the “crime” and tweeted to her followers that she is with the “the world’s coolest smartest people, it’s amazing!”. Go on the internet and see for yourself. That Ardin has sought unsuccessfully to delete these exculpatory tweets from the public record should be a matter of grave concern. That she has published on the internet a guide on how to get revenge on cheating boyfriends ever graver. The exact content of Wilén’s mobile phone texts is not yet known but their bragging and exculpatory character has been confirmed by Swedish prosecutors. Neither Wilén’s nor Ardin’s texts complain of rape.

Assange Embassy Controversy: Britain Threatens To Raid Ecuador's Embassy Over Asylum Issue


How kind of you to offer me options as to where I, as an American probably at least twice your age, can move if I don't like what you want to turn this nation into.  Let me return the favor and tell you where you can go.

You apparently know nothing of the case - Go get yourself informed.

Assange Embassy Controversy: Britain Threatens To Raid Ecuador's Embassy Over Amnesty Issue


It's actually an act of war.  

The Brits are talking about revoking the embassy's diplomatic credentials in order to do this.  They've gone off the deep end.

There are no charges filed against Assange.

He's not avoiding going to Sweden, but to the US where he faces execution.

Given how the rule of law doesn't exist any more in this country, Assange is being wise by avoiding letting the US government get its hands on him.  How would you like to be extradited to Gitmo and held there for the rest of your life, on no charges?
