And Reid makes a mockery of the Senate when he uses his position in the Senate to make a speech that, if he made it anywhere else, he could be considered to be committing slander. The fact is, like most wealthy people, Romney most likely simply gives his documents to his accountants, who then do the best job they can to make sure that he neither under nor over pays his taxes. If it's now a sin to take advantage of the tax laws written by our Congress, I don't want to live here any more.. Plus given the way our government wastes our money right an left, I really feel like it would have been wrong for him to give them a penny more than the law required him to do. Better that he gives to charities that he believes in, in my not at all humble opinion! But Reid has no basis for his slander, either. He claims he was told this by "someone who was an investor with Bain Capital". Please tell me how just investing money with a company would give you access to the personal tax records of an owner of the company? http://newsbusters.org/node/8287 http://hotair.com/archives/2012/08/07/wapo-fact-checker-gives-4-pinocchios-to-harry-reid/

The principle remains the same, and it is disgusting that the tax code allows this extremely basic travesty to exist. Shame on us (AND our forebears!) for not tossing out of office any and all congresscritters who allowed this "prove you are innocent" standard to creep into the tax regulations.

Some real "shining lights" at the bank that processed the "check," as well.

HEAR HEAR!!!

In todays world if you are not "political" you are ignoring what is happening and should not be allowed to vote in elections. In years gone bye citizens could mostly go about minding their own business and not be affected by what happens in government. Today, if you want a job, want to keep a job, or want a future for your children, you best pay attention to what is going on! I am so damn old that nothing is going to change for me by whatever happens, but younger folks are fools, or don't have any common sense, if they don't take a serious look at our current federal government and its policies.

Wow....

Catherine, I of course understood that as I am sure did Jack. We folks sort of overdocument with belt and suspenders to cover all sides of us! I'm still in the pause mode to see if anything shows up by week's end then will begin other actions. I really don't feel rushed, just confused!
