The Senior Senator from Nevada had this to say in an interview with HuffPo:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has what he says is an informed explanation for why Mitt Romney refuses to release additional tax returns. According a Bain investor, Reid charged, Romney didn't pay any taxes for 10 years.
I just.. I mean.. how did he…. SAY WHAT???
Those of you who have followed politics and especially the Senate will not have to go back too far to remember Senator Robert Byrd. I'll not go into the KKK membership of his youth, what I want you too remember that at the last throes of his career, every time he got up to speak the other members of his caucus were on tender hooks waiting to spin whatever bovine excrement that was sure to come out of his mouth. Point in fact, anybody remember this one (skip to the 1:10 mark for the money shot)?
My point in bringing up Byrd is that he added nothing to the Senate at that point in his life. Likewise, Reid is now clear of the proverbial shark by a good mile and a half. In his interview, he claims that Mitt Romney who has been in the public for more than 20 years and has a ton of money hasn't paid taxes for 10 Years? Really? And, Reid's 'informant' is an investor? What the hell does that mean.
Exit Question: What does Reid do all day? He hasn't passed a budget (required by law by the way) in 4 years. What are the people in Nevada paying this guy for?
So we're supposed to believe that someone who's served as a Governor, has had other political aspirations and has run for President before is going to knowingly skip on paying taxes for ANY period of time, let alone claim ANY questionable deductions?
ReplyDeleteRiiiiight. And I've got dis sweet little bridge youse might be interested in buyin'....
Poor little histrionic Harry was traumatized as a child by that vicious kick in the head from an errant butterfly and just hasn't been the same ever since. (Not that the change was ALL that discernible anyway!)
And how's it going, Harry, with those last three year's worth of Constitutionally-mandated budgets that have been delivered, awaiting the President's approval, hmmm???
While I don't for a minute believe anything Harry Reid says, If Romney is smart enough not to pay taxes for 10 years, he is my man. The tax code is garbage anyway. Cutting out the waste, fraud and abuse could cut the taxes in half. Harry Reid wouldn't know a budget if it slapped him. What idiots we have sent to Washington.
