Romney: Palestinians do not want peace

Quote:

A video clip emerges showing the Republican US presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, saying that Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel.

Quote:

A secret recording of US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been released in which he appears to condemn millions of Americans who cannot provide for themselves.

The recording, made in May at a Florida fund raising dinner, was released on the internet by the Mother Jones website which has a liberal perspective on US politics.

After it became public Mr Romney organised a press briefing in which he described his remarks as "inelegant" but he did not retract the points he had made.

Uh, where's the part about the Palestinians? He never mentions them.

Well, it's not in the video, the article, or the expanded article that it links to.

According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, about 46% of Americans paid no income tax in 2011. However, nearly two-thirds of households that don't pay income tax pay payroll taxes. Of the people who don't pay income or payroll taxes, more than half are elderly.

Mr. Romney would do better than to disparage one of his larger voting blocs if he wants to have a chance in this race.

There you go. Without that, your headline and your article don't match.

Are there any instructions as to how to get into the 47% that don't pay taxes?

Instead of giving the Jews Palestine, we should've split a piece of Germany. The Christian concept that the Jews are some special people of God, that if you go against them, God will curse your nation, causes a bias in the West towards the situation.

Ahhh, good ole dualistic worldview. Gotta love Romney! That's exactly what the US and everyone needs: easy answers to complex questions. :yeah:

Just ask Mitt - he knows some pretty good loopholes to avoid being taxed...

I believe you will find not more than a handfull Americans who don't pay taxes: you gotta be self-sufficient, but own no property, no car. You have to buy everything from the black market or acquire anything through bartering. Not even sure about the latter: in Germany "non-cash benefits" also get taxed - the friendly IRS probably has a similar law in their drawer.

I have a friend that moved to Mexico in 07. He was a commerical realtor and web designer. When the economy went, so did his business, etc. His model wife left, lost everything. I think the IRS may have been after him as well. He lives very well in Mexico off $1,200 a month. He finally started a website for Americans listing all the Brothels in Mexico, names of good call girls, etc...I think now he is a pimp so to speak....and getting rich.
