Mitt Romney’s Binder Problem
We’re having a field day with this. It’s a Liberal’s laugh-a-thon. A three-ring binder circus.
Mitt Romney’s “Women in binders” comment is quite possibly the most memorable tagline of the 2012 Presidential Election. It’s right up there with golden gems of the past. Recall — “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice….” “You’re no Jack Kennedy,” and “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
Apparently, Mitt Romney’s management style pretty much comes down to two things — balance sheets and binders. If it’s profitable, go for it. If it’s unprofitable, eliminate it. But there’s a lot more to what I will term “Bindergate.”
Here’s a closer look at the files:

1# do you under stand that a 14% tax rate on capital gains is the second time the money has been taxed ?
2# Overwhelmingly Democrat Legislature and still trashing the economy.
3# The Art of the talking about Romneys policies when yours have been an utter failure and your plan for the future is 8.00 a gallon gas and to borrow more money to invest in more failed stimulus packages .
4# Obama and Hillary may be the worst thing to ever happen to our national safety . We need a strong leader not some one who evidently has no clue as to what is going on in the world. Really Sept 11, who would attach us on that day ??? a moron could have seen this coming.
GET A GRIP you have no clue.
I really would like to “get a grip.” I desperately want to “have a clue.”
Would you please elaborate on Point #4 above? I’d vey much like to profit from your wisdom. Please do share with us more about how “Obama and Hillary may be the worst thing ever to happen to our national safety.”
Please. Educate me.
capital gains are taxed as they are a result of a gamed system that allows accumulation of assets (cap gains).
