Voters, do America a favor. Confirm that your assessment of Mitt Romney is accurate. Invest time using these Internet search parameters:
Romney and Italian phone directories, Romney's tax-free venture. Romney and Massachusetts 'no tax increases'? Romney raised $500 million in new revenue during his first year in office proposing 33 new fees and increasing 57 existing fees. Result: higher costs for birth certificates, new car purchases, driver's learning permits, firearms permits, professional licenses, and billboards advertising, including $50 fee for tuberculosis tests and blindness certification. Mitt's friendly "bipartisanship relationship" with the Massachusetts legislature resulted in 844 vetoes. A record 3.5 percent of the population left Massachusetts seeking employment elsewhere. Romney and "Personhood" Huckabee interview. Romney and Dade-Behring. Puerto Rican employees who relocated to Miami to save their jobs were laid off within months of relocating. Romney and Delphi. Ann Romney's trust ballooned from the auto industry bailout. Romney and Paul "The Vulture" Singer dubious business partnership (Delphi). Romney and Jeep. Chrysler labels Romney's "China Ad" totally dishonest. Romney and FEMA. He said it was "immoral" to waste money helping Americans during national disasters. He'd rather private companies make "profitable rescues."
Romney's tax avoidance-taxpayer-funded wealth accumulation.
If you ignore this man's documented history, America suffers the consequences. Romney has engineered enormous personal financial windfalls, over three decades and at the expense hard-working Americans. The remedy for our economy? He has proved he's not our savior; he's one of the looters.
