Is Janna Ryan’s Name on the Missing Romney Tax Returns as His Tax Attorney?




As I am a timeline historian of sorts, I have to wonder when was the first time Mitt Romney met Janna Ryan, wife of buff U.S. Representative Paul Ryan? 

Was it at Norfolk Virginia ten odd days ago in front of the U.S.S. Wisconsin floating museum?

Or was it in 1998, in the Washington DC office of tax attorney Janna Little, with Mitt looking to hide cash offshore to avoid taxes?

Of course Janna is now a stay at home mom and no longer dabbles in the tax thingy even for friends and or relatives out the family home office mentioned on tax returns?

But knowing cautious, paranoid, secretive Mormon Mitt Romney, it is likely he wants to keep the Vice Presidency in the family, tax family that is?

How Many Billions is Mitt Romney Really Worth? – Is he cheating on his tithe to the LDS Church?




If you do not file taxes for ten years and a big thing about your religion is tithing 10%, then the LDS has to take Mitt’s word how much he makes and what he says is their 10% of what.

My personal gut reaction to Mitt’s supposed 240 million dollar fortune is like if he is so smart, why has his fortune just leveled off since he left Bain ten years ago?

How many billions is Mitt really worth?


But the source coming to Harry Reid for these revelations adds a level of intrigue. Reid just happens to be the highest-ranking member of the Mormon Church in the history of this nation.
It is likely that Senator Reid’s source shares the Mormon religion with Reid and Romney.
That message will not be lost on Romney. If the Bain fortress is not a fortress; if people are talking, Romney knows that trouble lies ahead.
And the motivation for this leak may not be political. It is likely personal and tied to the Mormon Church.
Specifically, if Romney was hiding money from the IRS he may have hidden money from his church.
It is expected that members of the Mormon Church tithe a minimum of ten percent of their incomes. But if Romney was not paying taxes and hiding money, then his disclosure – which itemizes deductions, including to the church – would tip off his actual income to the IRS.
Even more telling, Senator Reid specifically says that Romney’s father, George, would be ashamed of his son.

Vatican to Pay Taxes on its Commercial Properties in Italy




Prime Minister Mario Monti has announced the Vatican must pay taxes on non-religious property, from which it previously enjoyed an exemption. 
The annual cost could be up to 720m euros ($945m; £598m) according to municipal government bodies. 
Italy's Catholic Church has 110,000 properties, worth about 9bn euros.It includes shopping centres and a range of residential property. 
In December, the government reintroduced a tax paid by anyone who owns land or property in Italy - which the Church does not pay. 
But a growing wave of Italians are opposed to what they see as special privileges in the face of a tightening economy 
Following their government's latest austerity measure package, more than 130,000 people signed an online petition calling for the Church's tax exempt status to be revoked. 
Since 2005, church-run groups and organisations have not been classed as official commercial bodies and have been exempt from paying property tax. 
According to the Corriere della Sera newspaper, tax authorities will calculate how much of a property is used purely for religious purposes and tax it proportionately. 
This means a church would remain exempt but a chapel which operates an hostel would pay tax accordingly.

Facebook Co-Founder to take his IPO money and run away from America - Billionaire Deadbeat

Tax Dodging Billionaire Deadbeats - Zuckerberg and Saverin


Okay so this guy born in Brazil was raised in the U.S.A., educated here and found golden opportunity here.  But days before the overpriced IPO offer of Facebook to rob America's Pension Funds, it has been announced that Eduardo Saverin has renounced his American citizenship to save on taxes.  


My taxes have been supporting this billionaire deadbeat all his life. Fuck him and good riddins to his new country of tax free Singapore.  


So much for loyalty and humanity from yet another billionaire.


Has to make you wonder what country Zuckerberg goes off to hide in once this Facebook IPO Ripoff scam is complete?


http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-eduardo-saverin-20120512,0,5844322.story


But many in the online world this week are outraged at the perception that Saverin is trying to dodge the tax man. Americans feel personally ripped off, according to comments posted across a variety of social media platforms. Saverin made his riches off Facebook-loving U.S. taxpayers and is now defriending the country that made him rich when it comes time to add some of that money back to U.S. tax coffers.

Kiosk Government USA – Carne Ross



I ran into this independent thinker and doer on Colbert tonight called Carne Ross, a transplanted Brit that got caught up in America’s energy flow.

Without going into too many details and the little bit of research I have done some reading. His ideas, based on Occupy among others, flows of thought energy that favors leaderless democracy. And surely with the internet participation in town halls and decision making on a micro local level is possible right now.

It is like it has taken democracy something like two hundred years to come to the impasse and the realization that central control, central king like decision making is not needed in perhaps 80% of the things and needs of everyday people.

They want to do away with the post office when the P.O. is the ideal place to become the focal point of local and federal government, not as a stand in line, hand me something center, but a place where paper tax forms could still be had both for state and national government. 

The Post Office from the very beginning was designed to be the glue of our republic and keeping the paths of communication open in a vast land mass. 

That the Post Office like in some European governments could be the center of micro-banking to offset the behemoth monster banks and brokerage houses that feed on the blood of the masses these days.

And the P.O. could serve as an information center of computerized government for other needs.

This flows along with my idea that we must return to local control of creating and servicing mortgages on Main Street and ignore the capitalist vampire mantra that all good comes from mega capital.

There are creative people and ideas left in this dying old world.  

A new world of ideas and accomplishments are yet to be discovered.
