Romney's Tax Returns

The liberal media marches on this morning. My local newspaper reported Romney's release of his tax returns like this: "His returns...represent an extraordinary financial accounting of one of the wealthiest U.S. presidential candidates in history, with his annual income topping $20 million."

Wow. $20 whopping millions. Is that it? I actually expected more.

The newspaper article continues: "It remains unclear how the details of Romney's fortune will play among American workers, who on average earn less in a lifetime than Romney paid in taxes in 2010 alone."

Class warfare, anyone? A staple in the Obama administration and his liberal media parrots.

"One" of the wealthiest presidential candidates? Let's look at John Kerry. His worth (including his wife's estate) in 2004 was estimated upwards of $3 billion. That's billion, folks. Anyone remember the media going after the "wealthiest senator" in the U.S. Senate? I remember it being mentioned that he was rich, but he was not vilified for being rich, for marrying wealth, or for creating wealth.

$20 million? Really? We're making a big deal out of $20 million earned dollars a year? 

Thank God for people like Romney. I'm not supporting him right now for the nomination, but if he wins, you bet I'll throw everything I can into his race. Any Republican is better than Obama. But the point here is this: it's not how much he makes, but that he can make it rich in this country. He did not inherit his wealth. HE MADE IT. And he created jobs for over 100,000 people. He gives to charities. He "spreads the wealth around" by spending and investing and giving.

His message is this: capitalism works. And it can work for you and me. God bless Mitt Romney.
