Hmmm....Did Romney Pay ZERO taxes in 2008? (This Guy May Be Onto Something) [View all]

In 2008, Did Romney(the taxpayer) lend himself(the politician) $45 mil? And pay ZERO taxes that year 2008?

Read it for yourself?

"I think Mitt Romney didn't pay any taxes in 2008.

Not 35%. Not 15%. Zero.

Between February 2007 and February 2008, Mitt Romney made a huge financial blunder. He lent Mitt Romney $45 million to run for president. (In July 2008, he wrote a letter to the FEC, informing them that Mitt Romney was "forgiving the outstanding loans" to Mitt Romney and that the loans should be "reclassified as contributions.&quot Where did successful businessman Mitt Romney get the $45 million to lend politician Mitt Romney, loser and clod? If he got the cash by liquidating stock, he did at least some of it during the Dow's 200-point decline in the winter of 2007/2008.

I'm not saying that's what he did -- and it's impossible to know without his returns -- but if he did, isn't possible that he took a substantial loss?"
