Yup. He had $360,000 left before taxes.

Romney, on the other hand, was left with over $18 Million after his charitable deduction.

Sounds like Romney is a smart guy!

[-] 2 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

Smart enough to rip off lots of people. All you Reptilians are schmucks.

[-] 0 points by uncensored (104) 12 years ago

In your mind, the only way to get wealthy is by ripping people off?

[-] 2 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

That's the way Romney did.

[-] -1 points by uncensored (104) 12 years ago

Really? Show me your proof.

[-] 2 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

He made his money by buying up companies, and making them profitable for his buddies by firing thousands of people and shutting the businesses down. He helped other companies (like Staples) too. All in all, he contributed nothing, zero. The money he made was by virtue of shuffling jobs, hurting thousands of people, creating nothing, sucking millions out of the economy and adding nothing. That's a rip-off.

His company bought companies that were about to close and ALL of the employees would have been out of jobs. Some of the ventures didn't work out while others went very well. These are things simpletons like you will never understand.

[-] 1 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

Many of the companies he bought were viable and in the process of restructuring. He made money by throwing the people who worked there out in the street.

Then why were they for sale at bargain basement prices?

[-] 1 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

Because the CEOs wanted to make a quick buck. Think Gordon Gecko.

You watch too many movies.

[-] 1 points by epa1nter (4650) from Rutherford, NJ 12 years ago

Possibly.

[-] 1 points by freewriterguy (882) 12 years ago

yes that is my belief, id love to see an example otherwise: is there a man who got rich by not ripping someone off?

[-] 0 points by uncensored (104) 12 years ago

Did Lady Gaga rip people off? Ok, bad example! How about Harrison Ford?

[-] 1 points by buphiloman (840) 12 years ago

Did you see Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

I felt pretty damned ripped off

He's a cheap ass hypocrite loser. 1%? I know people that give more than big ears and make blue collar wages. He's a tight ass loser.

Actually I was wrong: the Obamas reported an adjusted gross income of $1,728,096, about $3.78 million less than the year before (thanks to lower earnings related to book sales). They paid $506,297 in federal, state and local taxes. And they donated a little over $245,000 to charity- about 14 percent of their income.

That's 14%, in case you missed it, you lying asshole.

Koch sucker? That actually sounds like a tasty meal.

i don't think obama is a cheap ass

[-] -2 points by Kirby (104) 12 years ago

Well he is and his pal Biden is an even cheaperskate.

[-] 1 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

No mention of wages. Not sure what exactly he thinks income inequality means. Income is that thing you get paid Mr Obama. Working class folks usually make a wage. You would need to increase that to address "Income Inequality". It just doesn't sound like the type of math that is out of his reach.

I knew a vacum cleaner named Kirby. I belive the translation is one who sucks!

[-] 0 points by Kirby (104) 12 years ago

Yes, in fact they suck really well, as I do own one.

[-] 1 points by truth2p0wer (135) 12 years ago

Romney gave 10% to his church which means he only gave 4% more then Obama did... considering he is worth 10-20 times as much I'd say that's pretty even.

[-] 1 points by nobnot (529) from Kapaa, HI 12 years ago

I think the higher ups have to give more.I would not doubt that he cycled the whole bundle to them.Gets him and his more Glory etc.

[-] -2 points by Kirby (104) 12 years ago

It's not even whatsoever. 1% is a disgrace for someone who wants to,"spread the wealth around". Obama loves charity as long as it is someone else's money he gives with. That is your money.

[-] 1 points by truth2p0wer (135) 12 years ago

Correction... Our money. His included. Remember a tax increase would increase the amount he pays in taxes as well. And I would rather pay a little more in taxes and fix this country then reduce taxes so the rich can get richer while the rest of us bugger off and die.

[-] 0 points by Kirby (104) 12 years ago

Spending must be drastically stifled as well. Departments and uneccesary bureaucracies must be banished. Pain, yes, but it is a must.

[-] 2 points by truth2p0wer (135) 12 years ago

and Obama has proposed this more then once. more GOP obstruction

[-] 0 points by Kirby (104) 12 years ago

Obama is a Marxist ideologue. Obstruction is necessary to save the republic.

[-] 2 points by truth2p0wer (135) 12 years ago

You know if a true marxist heard you say that they would laugh.

Fox news douche. Link on drudge. Check out the awesome link to the northern lights too while you enjoy your visit.

Fox news?? I can see Kirby likes his news stations like he likes his women, dumbed-down and willing to do anything for a buck.

[-] -2 points by Kirby (104) 12 years ago

They are fair and balanced. I don't like the slobbering leftists on MSLSD. Bullshit aside, my favorite is BBC world service.

Who cares? They're both Wall Street tools.

They're on the same team. Don't get distracted by the theater.

You sir make make the right point.

Not only is he a cheapskate... But his politics ultimately hurt the poor... While Michelle spends $$$$$ on fancy clothing.. Obama is pushing his socialist agenda that is spiraling black Americans into the depths of economic ruination. His unyielding mantra of “tax the rich” is just a smoke screen for his desire to punish job creators, mostly small business owners, who produce the majority of the jobs in this country. Hurt most by Obama’s failed socialist policies are the poor and middle class
