Romney Tells NH Crowd He Wishes He Were a Resident So He Could "Save Me Some Tax Dollars"

[kpete]

At a town hall-style event in Manchester, New Hampshire on Monday, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told supporters that he could “save me some tax dollars” if he became a resident of the state, which doesn’t have a tax on W-2 reported wages.

“So many friends here in New Hampshire,” Romney said at the beginning of his remarks. “I feel like I’m almost a New Hampshire resident. … It would save me some tax dollars, I think.”

2. yeah Mitt like you need to save some tax dollars.....

3. Poor Mitt has to pay 13%, you guys!

He doesn't even know, does he, how out of touch he sounds? Does he literally not know that most of the people he's addressing pay more than 13%, even in NH, even though they have much less money than he does?

4. I think he actually thinks he's being folksy

He must think 'regular people' think like him because his friends think he's funny. Too bad for him he doesn't have any who aren't millionaires.

5. Save some tax dollars?

Paying for military adventurism in Iran?

Putting money over seas as opposed to putting middle class tax payers to work?

So they say that tax collector is the second oldest profession in the world. It has survived through every form of government imagineable.

Why is that?

Are we going to be the first large society in history that can function without them?
