Mitt Romney claims $370,000 earned from speaking fees is 'not very much'

Richard A. Viguerie: Romney’s Real Bain Capital Problem is His Hypocrisy ....."Among the insiders who received the no-strings-attached cash were Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Deutsche Bank AG, Merrill Lynch, Societe Generale, Calyon, Barclays Plc, Rabobank, Danske, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Banco Santander, Morgan Stanley, Wachovia, Bank of America, and Lloyds Banking Group.

Not surprisingly, just a cursory examination of Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports shows Romney banked over $798,000 from employees of TARP recipients.

How can that be? We’re paying 35%?

So? I work for a bank, therefore I am an "employee of a TARP recipient." Does that mean I, as a rather lowly employee of a financial institution who is simply working whatever job he can get to feed his family, have no right to participate in the political process?

I'm not a Mitt guy, but c'mon.

Mitt will get the nomination and THIS issue will torpedo his campaign. Independents will view Mitt as part of the problem and not the solution. Basically another Obama with an R by his name.

Obama will get another 4 years unless an alternative party comes in now. The Republican race for the White House is done. Tea Party where are you at?

Step One: A flat tax RATE system.

Step Two: A per capita flat tax AMOUNT system.

Why do “the rich” owe any more in pure dollars to support the government?

I don’t begrudge Romney for only paying 15%. He invested well.

I am 100% against the income tax. It needs to be abolished.
