what do they say redbull? I won't get a chance to read that whole thing for a few days

[jeff O)))]

maybe they'll reveal the stunning revelation that he's a fucking asshole!

[Trotskilicious]

so this is valuable because it's a excellent case study of how the finances of the mega-rich work, and how many special compensations and gifts and tax loop holes there are. It's very amusing to me that the GOP would be forced to nominate Romney since he seems to embody every corruption and privilege that is enjoyed by the JOB CREATORZ

[Future Boy]

yeah but everyone figured this already

[Trotskilicious]

everyone or me and you

having a cross indexed, footnoted and referenced case study of a very high profile person is probably better since you can take it away from faceless class war and instead have mitten's big square face associated with this kind of chicanery and avoidance of social responsibility and his duties as a citizen.

[Trotskilicious]

i mean yeah the amazingly honest mr. buffet has been telling this to us for years but there was no face on it so people dismissed it easily.

[Future Boy]

well, i havent heard about this from anywhere but here so I figured this was another palins emails-nothing here that surprises anyone situation

and yes I think the public generally knows the rich game the system as much as possible, thats why ive never thought the overseas accounts tax returns stuff would play to any great extent

I can't figure this out, either. It's like they're not even trying. Do they have that much faith in divisive politics that they can deny the existence of the middle class while relying on blue-collar conservatives to vote against commies, blacks, women and atheists?

[Future Boy]

i dont know it seems to be doing ok so far

[Future Boy]

what do you peg romneys chances at kill?

the fact that it hasn't been widely analyzed is probably because there is just so much of it, but they are tax and financial records of bain capital and romney by extension so it's a work around for getting his tax records. it's not at all like leaked e-mails from a snowbilly grifter

essentially, like wikileaks, it could take some time for everything to be read, understood and explained by bloggers but i am sure the obama campaign is wetting themselves with glee at this point because you can use these records to clearly explain how the 1%'s finances work with a clear line directly to mitt romney

Its possible

[Trotskilicious]

well the idea that they are "worthless" seems to be coming from the MSM, and not to sound like omega here, but their corporate masters don't want people to get inflamed about all these standard practices of high finance and tax avoidance

i mean everything i'm reading is basically case by case examples of how these guys are screwing everyone legally and making shit tons of cash for themselves while producing absolutely fucking nothing

[Future Boy]

the system works

[Eulogy]

yeah... i feel like most media outlets are like "psssshhhh this stuff is all legal so who cares?" when that is exactly the reason people should care. right?

[Trotskilicious]

bingo.

the fact that the msm is downplaying it is cause for concern as well, obviously the idea that these guys are impartial or interested in burning the lies off souls is an absolute lost cause at this point

[Future Boy]

i understood what he was saying, i still say most people know or figure this anyway, and those who dont wouldnt be shocked by it

[Future Boy]

we are the 99%!
