Apparently, last week, the meme from the White House was to beat up Romney about not releasing his returns, <a href=\"http:\/\/vetvoice.com\/diary\/4908\/vets-to-romney-release-full-returns\">now his returns weren&#8217;t enough for the White House\/Soltz&#8217; likings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Particularly disturbing are all of these off-shore accounts.  While it seems that he and his accountant decided to pay taxes on those in 2010, what about the years before this campaign?  While men and women were putting their lives on the line on the battlefield, and military members and retirees were paying a higher tax rate, was Mitt Romney trying to weasel his way out of paying taxes that care for those troops when they are in the field and come home?&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s a veterans&#8217; issue again. He cloaks his language in the DNC&#8217;s approved words like &#8220;contributions&#8221; for &#8220;taxes&#8221;. Where are Soltz&#8217; tax returns? How much money has he weaseled out of paying. And let&#8217;s see how much he&#8217;s &#8220;contributed&#8221; to the war effort. If people are sheltering their money overseas, that means the tax rates here are too high. If you want to bring that money home, cut taxes and spending.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Will he cut veterans benefits to pay to lower his taxes even more? Given Mitt Romney would like to lower taxes for him and other multi-millionaires like him, it&#8217;s a fair question.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how Romney will be able to cut veterans&#8217; benefits any more after Obama gets through with them. Where is VoteVets on the hikes in Tricare instituted by the Obama Administration? And why haven&#8217;t we heard VoteVets complain about the lack of a COLA increase for military retirees for three consecutive years?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, my breath isn&#8217;t bated waiting for an answer or REAL support for veterans from Soltz or VoteVets because that might result in a reduction of their &#8220;contributions&#8221; from MoveOn and the Soros Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to TSO for the link and the title of this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Soltz, the executive director of VetVotes, freshly bathed from his tour of the war against &hellip; <a title=\"Solz doubles down on teh Stupid\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=28466\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Solz doubles down on teh Stupid<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-taxes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28466\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
