Why? He pays taxes on its earnings. What does it matter that the money is "parked" there?
Where did I say that I cared if he parked it there?

So you waste time and effort to tell people what it "is about" because you don't care so much? Yeah.![]()
You're an insufferable buffoon, Damo. Once again, you jump in late on a thread, think you know what I'm talking about, and don't. And you can't even admit you were wrong.
I said a few times on the thread that it's a BS issue. But Yurt was saying the OP was about something it's not. I was correcting him. That cool with you?
Stupid hack.
Okay, jump in late... reading at least two posts on one page from Onceler about how it is important that it "is about" where he parks his money. I ask one question and I get this... When you ask when you said it was important... I point out how much effort you are putting into something you pretend doesn't matter?
And you think I am "insufferable" for that? Do you ever step beyond instant hack attack?
I put in "the effort" because Yurt was so adament about it. If you read back a few pages, he's repeating questions about it, with his usual "where is Onceler" routine. His reading comprehension just bugs me; what can I say.
As for you, this is becoming a tired pattern. How many times do you have to mischaracterize what I say, or jump in w/ some knee-jerk response because you think you need to defend some rightie?
It's annoying.
Which "rightie" was I defending? I came in, and read about four posts, two of which were you telling people what it is "all about"...
So I asked you why you thought it was important. To which you became defensive and acted like a fourteen year old who was caught saying something stupid.
Why do you think it is so important? I'd also like to know why you think it is so important that I never ask you any question so you go into immediate hack attack mode?
Why do I think what is important? I don't think it's important where Romney "parks" his money, and have said so repeatedly. I could care less.
If you took the time to read before knee-jerking all over the place, you'd realize that. Spare me your 'hack attack' projection. I didn't "say something stupid"....you did.
unless he's Obama.....that's why we haven't had a budget in over 1000 days......
The OP isn't about him having his money; it's about where he parks his money, which is in a place that doesn't add to the American economy.
Personally, this does not bother me - it's symbolic sort of BS. However, it's not bashing him just for being rich, which is something almost everyone in politics at that level is.
STY is the only one I see who laments that we are always electing rich people, because they tend to look out for rich interests. There is probably some truth to that, but that's a pretty non-partisan critique. It has nothing to do w/ saying it's "bad" that Mitt is wealthy.
You're preaching to the choir, SF. I said I didn't care, and that it's symbolic BS.
Here's another, Damo. Guess you missed this one too.
Yup.
As I said 187 posts were a bit much to pay that much attention to. This is basically what I needed to know. If you care so little why is it so important that it is what others think it is "all about"?
Yurt made it a big deal, not me.
But, since you're asking, it does bother me a bit that whenever a liberal criticizes a corporation for a specific action, they are portrayed as "against corporations & profit." Similarly, whenever a rich guy is criticized for a specific action, as the OP is doing, they are "against wealth" and saying it's "bad."
Which is what Yurt said. It's just inaccurate. I may not agree w/ the OP, but that doesn't give others a license to misrepresent what it's saying.
It's wonderful how frantic you are about this. 3 posts in a row - and a wiki search to boot.
I said it's not about him having money - it's about where he parks his money. And it is.
Ooooops.
bush is worth over a hundred million dollars? what is your point btw?
Maybe this will help, he is not breaking the law just using avenues to avoid tax available to him because of his vast wealth. The charge is rank hypocrisy not illegality.

Read your post, which I responded to, until the point sinks in.
