Ann Romney: ‘We’re Used To’ Passing Up Multi-Million Dollar Jobs
By Aviva Shen and Annie-Rose Strasser on Aug 31, 2012 at 10:23 am

On Friday, Fox & Friends asked Ann Romney if it was difficult for the couple to turn down a $30 million job offer after Mitt lost the 2008 presidential nomination. Ann, who has been trying to help her husband connect with middle class voters, replied that such job opportunities are commonplace for the former governor and CEO:

BRIAN KILMEADE (HOST): The report is after Mitt Romney lost to John McCain for the nomination, he got an offer from a fund, $30 million a year, go back into the financial world, have all types of success. How hard was the decision not to do that?

ROMNEY: Well, we’re used to kind of passing offers up like that. For us, our life is not about making money. We’ve been very blessed financially. Our life is now about giving back. I always trust that Mitt can always make another dollar. Poor guy, he took no pay when he did the Olympics for three years and no pay when he was governor for four years.

5. "Poor guy took no pay but he sure screwed over the IRS when he paid no taxes for 10 years with

offshore accounts earning 100-1000% in Mitt's Magical Money Fund."

6. best quotes from Queen Ann in this article

“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids.” [Prescott Bush Awards Dinner, 4/24/12]

You love it, Ann? Try doing it and see how much fun it is, especially when your ex gives you no child support. I'll bet you'd love that, too.

“We’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life.” [ABC News, 7/19/12]



"You people," now who is that Queen Ann? The 99% who share this country with you? Show us your tax returns!

[cstanleytech]

9. Sounds like Ann is channeling a little of Leona Helmsley.

You know the women who its claimed said "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes..."

[tomm2thumbs]

10. Nail on the head!

They are both self-involved money horders who don't want to give America any straight talk by releasing their tax returns - this is just about winning the 'trophy' of being President. Another 'conquest' that they hope money can buy.

[Kablooie]

15. And she loves even more the fact that she is not one of them.

[onehandle]

7. Boo fucking Hoo. Go away! nt

[Zoeisright]

8. Just go fuck yourself, Ann Toilet.

You are a clueless MORAN (sic).

[DallasNE]

11. What A Tone Deaf Woman

How is it "giving back" to take away my daughters health insurance, along with another 30 million that would lose their health insurance. Or tax changes that increase taxes for the vast middle-class so the Romney's can get another huge tax cut and only pay at an effective rate of 1%.

And what is with this "poor guy" talk? Every time she opens her mouth it is like hearing fingernails on a chalkboard. She is the modern day Leona Helmsley.

[LynneSin]

14. I hope many more people read your reply

Amen!

[CountAllVotes]

12. Million dollar jobs w/tuna casserole

Ah what a wonderful life eh Anne!?

[LynneSin]

13. Don't we all have that issue in the world?

Seriously, Marie Antoinette wannabe!

[barbtries]

16. she really said "poor guy"

in reference to her husband. okay.

[wordpix]

17. the "poor guy" didn't pay taxes while his magical IRA rose 100-1000% in one year

poor guy is right

[livetohike]

18. She is so clueless. I don't see how anyone thinks she is admirable or likable

Everything she says has that touch of arrogance. I wonder if she has any friends in her life.

[xtraxritical]

24. I think the vast majortiy of 1%ers are her good friends.

Thank goodness for George Soros, Warren Buffet, and most educated people.

[livetohike]

26. They are probably only friends who are friends because they think "What can the Romneys

do for me?" There are good guys, as you pointed out .

[LibertyLover]

19. GOPers keep wanting proof that President Obama was born in the US -

I want proof that Mitt Romney didn't take a salary for those jobs. Show us the tax returns Mitt.

[lunatica]

20. I hope they keep interviewing her a lot

We need to hear much more from her.

I'm series!!!??!!!

[avebury]

21. K&R nt

[Javaman]

22. It's glaringly apparent that she has zero frame of reference for reality. nt

23. Marie Antoinette ...Marie Antoinette ...Marie Antoinette ...Marie Antoinette ...Marie Antoinette

Did I mention ...Marie Antoinette?

27. No income for seven years mean no income tax for seven years

Sounds to me like they are admitting that Reid was correct in that they paid no income tax for at the very least seven years and most likely the ten Reid claimed.

[hughee99]

28. If he had no income, then why should he have paid INCOME tax?

If Reid is correct, not paying income tax because he had no income is possibly the only acceptable excuse he could offer. I don't think most people would be mad about a guy not paying tax on income he didn't make.

[Bandit]

29. I agree, he should step forward and proudly say he did not pay any income tax for a decade.

He did not do that though. He said he paid lots of tax and then called Reid a LIAR...
