[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1042340, member: 18225"] Originally Posted by [B]moreluck[/B] The old double standard is in use every single day!!! Mostly by the media and it's so obvious they are not good at it !!! No. Romney's manipulating the system using quasi-legal 'loopholes' in order to stash about $100M in an IRA. A frikkin' [B]IRA[/B]!! Oh, sure, he'll have to pay taxes at some point on this money, but [I]that's[/I] not the point. [B]Please explain to me how one could legally get an IRA account up to $100M in the first place.[/B] There are very good reasons Romney doesn't want to disclose his full financial portfolio/tax history/ etc. Y'all can say what you want about media bias, or lefties hating on/being jealous of the rich, but Romney (like many of the Uber-rich) plays by an entirely different set of rules than you or I. This whole '[B][I]you can make it like Romney made it, don't be jealous[/I][/B]' argument is just so ridiculous. As the rich become the super-rich and (more and more) determine policy for the US (through lobbying, campaign donations, or, hey - why not - running for President), the more solidified their position becomes and REAL opportunity for average Americans declines. More, contact your financial planner and ask them if you can stick $100 million in your IRA. Lulz. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
