5. Romney's a money hoarder.

I know someone like this ...... he believes the tax he's paid to acquire the goods he needs to run and maintain his business is all he should ever pay, and that those who work for him owe him eternal gratitude for the shitty wages they're paid. The gov't should thank him for employing all these people and mind it's own business when it comes to the rest. I just had dinner with him and his wife a few days ago, it was more of a punishment than a night out. Their profits don't 'trickle down', they gets hidden, invested in stocks that help no-one but the rest of the hoarders, or spent on luxury shit that's in turn used as another business expense. I can't stand these selfish, gloating, self-entitled *ucks. He's completely against paying income tax. I asked him why the taxpayers who build the infrastructure and everything else he relies on to run things by paying their income tax, should have to finance his profit, when he does everything in his power to avoid contributing back into the pot? Basically, all I got back was 'do you have any idea how much tax I pay every single day'? There's some sort of mental block there ... it's one I just don't get.
