Almost 2,400 people who received unemployment insurance in 2009 lived in households with annual incomes of $1 million or more, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Yes..it matters. Buried in Mitt's 2011 return was his investment into Cnooc..the Communist Chinese National Oil Company. Cnooc is trying to buy a Canadian oil company that bought leases in the Gulf Of Mexico under George WMD Bush in 2005. This puts physical "strategic footholds" of rig platforms for China right offshore of America. This could be a foreign country, that already owns nuclear weapons, just a stones throw from U.S.
Mitt bought shares 3 times in China.
I've seen enough to know Mitt is out of touch with ordinary Americans. Sure, he's a great guy, gives to his (Mormon) church, good family man, but he pays a lower percentage in tax than I do. He claims 47% are on the government dole the vast majority of whom are idle rich with their tax loopholes, retired seniors, and working poor. He just doesn't get it. Vote your pocketbook most Americans and that's Obama.
Today, as I listened to Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limpbumb, and Glenn Bareback, all I heard them talk about was the Communist Manifesto and President Obama. DOES EVERY REPUBLICAN / T-PARTY MEMBER OWN A COPY OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO? SOUNDS LIKE THE GOP ARE STUDYING THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO REAL HARD....ARE THEY THE TRUE COMMUNIST
Mitt Romney says The "48, 49 percent" that supports President Barack Obama are "people who pay no income tax." But the polls and income tax data don't back this up. Obama gets substantial support from people earning more than $50,000 -- and 90 percent of them, or more, do pay taxes. And Romney gets lots of support from seniors, many of whom have no income tax liability. We rate the claim False.

Romney claims five studies back up his tax plan.
We rate the statement Mostly False.

Mitt Romney claims the Obama administration issued an “apology for American values” after U.S. embassies were attacked. Not true.

ALL of the FACT checkers that are nonpartisan say that both sides have told lies but the GOP side has told far more lies than the Dem. side.

Mitt Romney's tax returns are not important to my vote AT ALL. Even tho Obama & his hooligans
said they wld not discuss MR's returns, they've already posted comments on the internet -- another
ORD lie. Let's ask BO to be more honest with America about himself & see what happens, but those
are subjects he won't reveal. BO's background and ideology are more relevent to the American people
in the outcome of this election than MR's tax returns. BO -- what a joker. So scarey for the USA.
You sound hypocritical......it only matters for the Democrat candidate to reveal his background, but the other candidate gets a pass.
So Romney's background and ideology shouldn't matter to the American people?
His "severe" Mormon faith shouldn't be questioned as to how many SisterWives he has had? Have you ever seen his marriage certificate? All of them? You do know why his grandfather abandoned America, moved to Mexico where Mitt's dad was born, right
Sure their past is important. Romney's tax returns are important because I would like to see is IF he supports America and American workers or IF he supports other nations and their workers.
In other words, is Romney WITH US AMERICAN WORKERS OR HE IS AGAINST AMERICAN WORKERS.
Kalp, can you provide a link from a non partisan source to where Obama & his hooligans said they wld not discuss MR's returns? I have never seen any such statement nor heard it on any News Report, not even on fox.
