[quote=briansd1][quote=CA renter][quote=flu]Side note… I wonder how much this is really hurting our city, in terms of lost revenue.[/quote]
No, no no!!! It’s the pensions and the union goons, I tell you!

Actually this shows that pension promises are not flexible enough to match fluctuation in revenues.
That’s why a 401k type system is better. The employer only pays a matching contribution now. That takes away future risks.[/quote]
Gee, maybe if we fixed the tax laws so that a$$holes like Mitt Romney were forced to pay *at least* as much in taxes (as a percentage of income) as those darn union thugs, we wouldn’t be in such a financial mess to begin with!
The dude claims he “doesn’t even know” where his overseas investments are??? And some people want him to hold the highest political office in this country?
If what he says is true, he is so out of touch with regular working Americans…he poses a huge threat to any working person in this country.

“In an interview with Radio Iowa tonight, Romney claimed ignorance of his exact foreign investments but insisted his financial managers adhere to all applicable laws.
“I don’t manage them. I don’t even know where they are,” Romney said of his portfolio of overseas investments. “That trustee follows all U.S. laws. All the taxes are paid, as appropriate. All of them have been reported to the government. There’s nothing hidden there. If, for instance, you own shares in Renault or Fiat, you still have to disclose that in the United States.”
