No kidding. Businessman? Bishop Rmoney is having trouble managing the finances of his campaign. We're cooked. We should have never nominated a Mormon RINO high priest.

The senior citizens of Florida have worked all their lives contributing to social security. To have Mormon Rich Money write them off as "victims" dependent on government and for Paul Lyin to threaten to take away that security net for them was a reality check for them.

Adding more insult, his "joke" regarding latinos underscore his belief that he thinks Latinos vote based on ethnicity and not on their own personal beliefs and understanding of a candidate's policies.

The choice is pretty clear in November: vote for the party who looks after the 1%? or vote for the party that protects the 99%?

It's us or them.

This is going to turn into a battle for domination of the planet.

Are we gonna go with the 12th Century or the 21st?

The adminstration is trying make a pet out of this rattlesnake called the Muslim Brotherhood.

We're all gonna get bit. It's a rattlesnake.

The fact that Leftist fools don't even realize we are in a war for our very freedom and survival will be the death of us all.

You must be planning on bowing down to the Muslim hoardes. What color burka is your wife gonna wear?

Wealth is either going to get redistributed up, down, or equally. Americans are going to decide in November which direction it should go.

I'll tell you this though....I don't see the rich 1% hurting during these tough economic times. In fact..they're hurting so much that they are shipping their millions of "job creating" tax saving overseas into offshore accounts instead of hiring people. So you can guess how I will be voting.

That the poor and the working middle class need to stop playing the VICTIMS and need to pay MORE in taxes.

Whereas the real VICTIMS are the rich. Since they are obviously struggling during these tough economic times. And therefore need to pay LESS taxes.

Well....I guess I know which party I will be voting for in November.

the truth may hurt but it is their lies that is killing the Romney Republicans. Explain to me how a 70 year old man, living freugaly on his savings, SS, and pension has not taken resonsability for his life simply because he no longer pays income tax. The Republican position seems to be that because they can no longer make a profit off of him he should be thrown on the scrap heap.

they should be hiring people or putting their tax savings in U.S. bank so that small businesses can have access to cash.

INSTEAD of shipping those savings into overseas tax-free interest bearing offshore accounts to sit and earn interest for themselves.

the 99%ers have been sending their money to the 1% for 11 years through purchases of goods and services. and none of it is coming back to them.

Oh! And let's not forget how the 1% robbed the working middle class with their golden parachute payments----rewarding each other for failures while laying off people at the same time:

A golden parachute has been defined as an agreement between a company and an employee (usually upper executive) specifying that the employee will receive certain significant benefits if employment is terminated. Most definitions specify the employment termination is as a result of a merger or takeover[1][2][3], also known as "Change-in-control benefits".[4] But more recently the term has been used to describe excessive CEO (and other executives) severance packages unrelated to change in ownership.[5] The benefits may include severance pay, cash bonuses, stock options, or other benefits.

==========

7 Of The Most Outrageous Severance Packages In Recent Wall Street History

Tom Montag

If you ever need to negotiate an exit from your current employer and have Tom Montag's number - call him.

First he left Goldman Sachs for Merrill Lynch in May 2008. Merrill Lynch bought out his remaining Goldman compensation package for approximately $10 million.

Then, when Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America in January 2009, BofA bought out all of Montag's Merrill Lynch options, vested and unvested, for a value of $29.9 million.

He stayed at BofA, where he is now co-COO.

A little background on Montag: he was once one of the largest individual taxpayers in Japan and he was the one that called that one deal that totally caused the financial crisis 'shitty.'

==========

Peter Kraus

Peter and Tom definitely talked this thing over.

Kraus joined Merrill at the same time as Montag, with a similar buyout of his Goldman compensation package.

Kraus, however, did not stay on at Bank of America and collected his $25 million severance package.

It was rumored that his split from BofA was in part related to his 'flashy' behavior, which included brandishing his bright green blackberry in meetings.

He consoled himself by buying at $36.6 million apartment and later becoming CEO of AllianceBernstein.

==========

Joe Cassano

Technically, the guy who lit the fuse at AIG did decline his severance.

But only after his CEO begged regulators to allow the failed insurer to retain Cassano as a consultant at $1 million per month and public uproar ensued.

The irony of the idea that Cassano was needed for his '20-year knowledge' of credit derivatives after that same knowledge decimated AIG is enough to land him on this list.

==========

Hank Paulson

Wait, he didn't get a severance package, right? Think again.

When he accepted President George W. Bush's nomination as Treasury Secretary, he was forced to sell his approximately $500 million dollars in Goldman shares.

Nothing wrong with that.

The real severance payment?

Because of a seldom utilized tax loophole, Paulson paid no capital gains taxes on this sale. That's right, not a single cent, saving him an estimated $200 million.

==========

Martin Sullivan

Not surprisingly, Joseph Cassano's old boss had a bit of an warped view of what constituted acceptable behavior.

When he was fired as CEO of AIG, Sullivan collected $47 million.

Later, he named as one of the 'Worst CEOs Of All Time' by Time Magazine.

==========

Stanley O'Neal

After leaving Merrill Lynch with an $8 billion write down, O'Neal left the firm with a total of $160 million.

While not technically severance pay, when Merrill claimed that the pay was for performance in previous years as CEO, questions were raised.

The assets that lead to his departure and dragged down Merrill's balance sheet to such an extent that Bank of America was called in to acquire the firm were purchased during those years when O'Neal's performance apparently merited such a massive payout.

========

Chuck Prince

While Citigroup claimed in regulatory filings that it was not technically severance pay, when Chuck 'We're Still Dancing' Prince received $29.5 million in stock options, grants and perks when he left as CEO in the wake of billions of dollars in asset write downs.

He also received approximately $13 million in cash for his performance during the same year when those write downs occured.

==========

AND RICH MONEY'S AND PAUL RYAN'S PLAN IS MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE 1%.

To REDISTRIBUTE more of the wealth up to the 1%.

Exactly - they CLAIM that they need tax breaks because 'rich people create employment,' but their own behavior completely belies that.

Mormon Rich Money is only saying out loud what the Republican RINOs think:

That the poor and the working middle class need to stop playing the VICTIMS and need to pay MORE in taxes.

Whereas the real VICTIMS are the rich. Since they are obviously struggling during these tough economic times. And therefore need to pay LESS taxes.

I don't mind if a 1%-er is buying a $5 million home or $500,000 car---good for them---.....but why isn't he/she using the millions he/she has left over to hire people or put into U.S. banks for other small businesses? Especially when they whined for more tax cuts to "create jobs".

They should at least go out and spend what they have left over to create the demand for good and services which will then create the demand for jobs.
