   • • Good people support Romney? I know there are some people I care about who support Romney. I know there might even be some people who say they care about me who support Romney. But you can tell a lot about a person based on their supporters, whom they support, and what the people they support support... now, don't get me wrong, "goodness" may very well be an ideal, and a lot of people strive to that ideal, but I don't think it is fundamentally necessary for people to be "good"... and of course we all have the right to support whomever and whatever we want. That being said, Romney's policies are aimed at pleasing people who, for the most part, couldn't give a fuck about us or other people in similar situations to ours. Romney aims to please a faction which supports the dismantling of public education, the deregulation of financial institutions and the health insurance industry, the expansion of penal institutions, the established right of women to control their own bodies, the idea that corporations are people, the increased emphasis on religion and religious imposition, the continuance of social, racial, and gender stratification... I could go on. IMNSHO, the people he aims to please - his (and their) ideologies - are not "good" people.

          This week, President Obama called for a one-year extension of Bush-era tax cuts for households earning less than $250,000 a year, and individuals earning less than $200,000, while allowing taxes to rise for the rest of American families and small business owners.

             """""""""""But, for an enterprising national reporter, the next time he/she gets to ask Romney a question, there is a better question, better because it is black-and-white and unspinnable: Did Romney get amnesty from the IRS on taxes owed on his Swiss Bank Account? (For an explanation of "amnesty" for Swiss Bank Account holders, and links to other sources, see my previous article.)
             
             There are three possible answers:
             
             "No" -- in which case the clamor to prove it would be deafening.
             "Yes" -- in which case that would be the end of the Romney candidacy.
             "I have paid all my taxes, as appropriate, and that is all I am going to say" -- is that not "yes"? The reporter just follows with, "Governor, that could be true even if you received amnesty. I ask again, did you receive amnesty?"""""""""""""

             """"""""""Many of those accounts, and the income from them, are now subject to U.S. taxation. Those who had hidden, undeclared accounts first were given until October 15, 2010, to reveal their accounts' existence, pay the taxes they owed and a modest penalty, but are not subject to criminal prosecution.
             
             That is, they received an amnesty.
             
             If Romney's tax returns revealed that he were one of those who received amnesty, he could still properly claim that "all taxes were paid, and that he complied with U.S. laws" on the basis of his not having been charged with a crime after he revealed his prior wrongdoing.
             
             But, if it ever became known that he received amnesty, the American people would utterly reject him for two reasons: amnesty means he had been breaking the law for many years and putting extra tax burdens on honest Americans and that he was accorded special treatment only the wealthy receive.
