| Democalypse 2012 - Bain Damage - Romney's Blind Trust | ||||
| ||||
Jon Stewart was on vacation for two weeks, but he came back with a bang, didn't he?
Republicans are faith-based, so they expect that we'll take Mitt Romney on trust. He's supposed to be a businessman, but he's keeping all that behind a curtain.
The Senate won't even confirm a Cabinet member without seeing his tax returns, but we're supposed to pick a president on faith?
Note that John McCain did see Mitt Romney's tax returns, when McCain was looking for a vice-presidential candidate. As James Carville said, "The only person who has seen Romney's taxes is John McCain and he took one look and picked Sarah Palin."
Mitt Romney gets tax breaks for taking his horse to the prom, as Jon Stewart puts it, and he thinks that's just fine. He thinks the rich should pay a lower tax rate than you do. And he thinks that shipping American jobs overseas is the kind of business experience a president should have.
But it's really hard to imagine how the Republicans can convince anyone else that's true. On the other hand, they've got a lot of money from billionaires to push their guy night and day (not to mention all of Fox 'News').
PS. Here's Stephen Colbert's take on the same issue.
