Mitt Romney is anti-American...

if you can't pay your fair share of taxes to the United States, you are anti-american. And you shouldn't expect to be president of the United States if you are anti-american.

ALWAYS paid more than his share of taxes and was proud to do so. Said it was the least he could do for his country. A true patriot. Plus he served in the armed forces.

Mitt Romney refused to serve his country then and refuses to support it now.

I can't find anything to back up this claim. It's a good talking point for today.

Will look for which one mentions this, but I remember reading that Col. Parker wanted Elvis to hide some of his earnings from the IRS and he refused.
