I mistakenly doubled posted this picture however...this man it double trouble as he has an agenda to omit many rights thousands have fought years to have.
You do know there is a politics forum?
...and mistakenly put in in the general discussion category. My apologies.
We already know what he stands for...
Why won't he release his tax returns? Here i a nice thoughtful piece from the new Yorker - as even leading Republicans askwhy the candidate is being so cagey.

Four main possibilities.
1. He has had extremely high levels of income
2. it will reveal he has even more big offshore accounts
3. He has made lots of deeply embarassing investments
4. He has managed to avoid paying much tax at all.
What a splendid President he will make!
He's extremely secretive. We don't know how much cash he has in offshore bank accounts. Is it $300 million? $400 million? Is it a billion bucks? But we should remember who this guy is. His background. I mean, he isn't, say, a professor of public ethics like Clive Hamilton.Quote:

The sole goal is: maximizing money. Not jobs. Not being good stewards of the environment. Not a deep concern with morality. Not concern and care about future generations. Not concern about the 30 million other species on this planet. Those are externalities. And you have to avoid thinking about that "stuff" otherwise you couldn't do your job.
And Romney has come out of this world. Is he a bad person? No. His training and thinking come out of this.
Is he a moral person? Yes, of course. As in everyone has their own internal morality.
But its a morality I firmly disagree with -- :))

The simple fact is he won't divulge more because he's a pussy.
He rides bitch on a jet ski. Someone tell me how this guy isn't a complete pussy.
Ben - I simply don't buy the notion of an individual and private morality. That way total chaos lies. I think there are measures of ethics and morality which are universal - and Romney falls way short. But you're correct - in the world he was bred in the creation of private wealth is the be and end all. He is a shapeshifter.
