2012 Elections in the USA

[QUOTE=Toymann;424630]You need to go away dude. The past 90 days in BA? The gift that keeps on giving! Even esten will not come to your rescue! You are nothing more than entertainment dude. Keep rolling! Please site the high level CPA conference that is going on in BA right now? Please! Enquiring minds want to know! Happy Mongering All. Toymann[/QUOTE]I have never said anything about the private conversations taking place at a "high level CPA conference" or any other sort of conference. Ernst and Young has an office in Buenos Aires; Ernst and Young staff from NYC fly down quarterly to train / supervise the local staff. That's as detailed as I will get.

I think Earnst and Young needs a little discipline. Not only are they blabbering about clients confidential tax returns at the home office. They violate client confidentiality throughout the world. This must comfort Earnst and young clients worldwide. That everyone from the receptionist to the guy who delivers pizza to Earnst and young is given detailed reports on the tax returns of Earnst and young clients.

Anyway, this is b***s***. Every quarter accounting firms, including earnst and young, have access to every companys quarterly results before they are released. A heads up to this information is invaluable to investors. Knowing the quarterly results before they are released could easily make you a fortune. Does that information ever leak from the accounting offices to investors. Never as in never, never, ever.

My guess is that some wantabe nobody is claiming to have access to information which is more tightly guarded than the gold in Fort Knox. Why does anybody listen to this nonsense. Patently absurd. Whoops, patently absurd to everyone but an Obama supporter who has a 1 in 50, 000, 000 chance of becoming a human being. Same as a spermatazoa.

[url]http://www.ey.com/AR/es/Home/Article[/url][/QUOTE]AP is letting me post today. Couldn't log in yesterday, no matter how many times I tried.

Just because the E&Y may be saying it doesn't make it true. Unless MR's return is done out of the NYC office, the information you would have gotten is at best 3rd or 4th hand. I wasn't impressed with the higher ups when I worked at the company. My favorite example of big company idiocy was when they decided that reviewers were taking too long on tax returns. The new policy was to look at the totals at the bottom of each page and if it matched the amount on the tax return, send it on for processing. No exceptions.

Not too long after that, I was given a return prepared by a sophomore in college (intern). The return had oil & gas property and other complex tax issues. The totals matched so I sent the return on. The partner comes in to my office wanting to know what in the hell was going on. Told him the new rule. They had a meeting and the rule was no longer enforced for our office.

Closing out the UBS account was likely done for political reasons. I read the first page of the MR article yesterday and didn't see anything useful. The guist of page one was that it would have been smarter to overpay his taxes. Since MR ran for president in 2008, does anyone really believe he would have kept undisclosed funds in a Swiss bank account at that time? Considering that he already had other legal offshore trusts set up elsewhere, what they are insinuating is insulting to our intelligence.

I can see the confession from MR:

"Yes, even though I could have legally sheltered my income in my other offshore accounts, I hid money in a UBS account to evade taxes. Why did I do it? Just for the hell of it. If Tim Geithner can openly commit tax fraud, why can't I?"

Snakeoil is another Obama propagandist like Move-On. At least there was proof that Esten is a real, however delusional, human being.

The US action against the Swiss Banks emanated from the findings of the Volker and Bergier Commissions, of the mid-late 90's and early '00s which were charged with piercing the Swiss banking secrecy, as it related to accounts that could have potentially belonged to victims of the Holocaust. The US has always wanted to find away to tear down the secrecy of the Swiss Banking industry (except as it relates to liberal members of Congress, Hollywood and the media). What the US saw was that if enough pressure was brought to bear upon the Swiss, they would eventually crack like a coconut. Further, they (the Swiss) were at their weakest (politically) on the heels of the Commissions' findings (they were two separate commissions) , because they showed that at best, the Swiss were complicit in institutionalized graft from the victims of genocide. The US didn't start pressuring the Swiss in 2010 or 2009 or even 2007. The pressure was a continuation, although realigned, of the Commissions' (I. E. From the 90s).

I think that Snakeoil can concede that Romney was an international financier, with fiduciary responsibilities to many constituencies, and therefore probably had more than a passing familiarity with this enforcement movement, which the government did not keep secret. Further, this same Romney fellow ran for POTUS in 2008 and as a candidate would have been made acutely aware of the depths of depravity of Opposition Research. No one (except liberals like Ted Kennedy, Gary Hart, John Edwards and their ilk) , expects to get a pass or to be able to keep anything secret. All you have to do is look at the abuse of IRS powers in auditing Obama's opposition or the main stream media's embargo of the information about John Edward's love-child, to see what can happen. Therefore, it is unreasonable to expect that a relatively intelligent individual, who was aware of the risks, would have preceded to put himself in the white-hot spotlight with the sole strategy of whistling past the graveyard.

As for Snakeoil's 'inside info' from E&Y...I just have to laugh. I think that the BS-factor of this canard has been nicely exposed in the prior posts.

What is most glaring is the absolute hypocrisy of virtually everything that Snakeoil posts: transparency, tax evasion and criminal innuendo. If you were on the shrink's couch, he'd be jotting down the word "transference" over and over again. Obama has provided little to no transparency on many issues of great importance. Being a tax cheat was a requirement for his cabinet appointees and he and/or Eric Holder are complicit if not directly culpable in more than 300 murders. You know what? Now that I think of it, if I was an Obama supporter (I'd have to be lobotomized, first) I don't think that I would focus on the 'achievements' of my candidate. Just as the Alinsky/Obama/Axelrod/Emanuel-doctrine states "when you've got nothing, attack the opposition with lies."

He must have been referring to his ability to bend over. We've not been in a position (since about '00) to do much regarding Putin meddling in the former republics looking for "Chechen Rebels" or other boogey men. With Afghanistan and Iraq on the front burner, we have been in no position to commit to anything other than a stern warning. With Obama in office, we don't even do that. Obama is intentionally doing to the US, what the US did to Russia when Reagan was in office. Causing the country to implode upon itself do to its runaway spending. I guarantee you that the team Obama was rooting for, didn't win the Cold War.

Like radical Islam, Putin will never respect or fear weakness. Obama bowed to him before he was even elected, so Putin has known all along that the US is not a factor in his foreign policy (Russian naval base in Cuba?). If Obama gets a second term, the missile shield is toast and Putin will be free to expand his sphere of influence.

Nothing new here. Hungary in 1956 and Prague in 1968, and much more before that. Why? What happened? Too much bear there, no profits.

Laos, the most bombed country in world history. Discarding bombs every 8 minutes for years. The secret war that nobody talks about. They were shooting at the jets with sling shots. Lots of profit here. Hands stained with blood in Washngton is nothing new. Now with the defense cuts coming into play if there is no budget agreement, Cheney has dragged his drugged body to Washington once again. His face is the face of the military industrial complex, the face of war & profits.

According to Robert Gates, the US battle fleet is larger than the next 13 navies combined. 11 of whom belong to our allies and partners. Our geography is part of our defense. Imagine if China was as close as Hawaii, then we would be wetting our shorts.

The USA, while one of the greatest forces for goodness that mankind has ever seen, MUST prioritize its best interests above those of all other nations. That doesn't relieve anyone (almost anyone) from their responsibilities to God and Country (I. E. The Law). If bombing the sh*t out of the Ramen Noodle Valley is key to an imperative national interest (in my opinion, it needs to be crucial security interest) , then bombs away and may God have mercy on their souls (both the bombees and bombers). The US government exists SOLELY to protect and ensure America's best interests.

PS: I have been a US citizen for over a decade now![/QUOTE]That's right, you have been confused since you came to America, but you did not know it. Give yourself a few more years. Right now, you are a kid in a candy store.

America is the best place in the world to fulfill your dreams. It is a rich country, it is young, it is big & free, and it is democratic. But it does not mean that it does not have any problems. Sometime, not too long ago, it started to have it's values confused by money big time. Money, even lots of money is not bad or evil. It is when you become a slave to money, and it begins to interfere with your values of decency and honesty that it becomes a negative issue.

I do not hate America. Hate is a extremely negative word, I rarely use it. But we are talking about elections issues here. There are alot of lies, half-truths, mis-quotes, rumors, exaggarations, slanders, insults to scare the "ignorant & undecided". In reality, whoever becomes the president from either party will be similar in about 80-90% of their policies. For example, every president will emphasize education, health and family, yet, we have been going downhill in those issues.

So Toyman, it is good that you acknowlege your confusion. I like your humility. You will go far.

This is a new low. More likely a sign of desperation. People are voting against Obama because they are racist?

About 10 million people who voted for Obama is 2008 will vote for Romney this election. Did all 10 million become racists during the last 4 year.

Almost all blacks will vote against Romney, even though Obama has eliminated any prospect that blacks, or anyone, will find jobs. Do you think this may be racism?

Let's face it. It doesn't matter whether Obama is green, yellow, blue, white or black. Obama has been a total disaster for our economy and our country in general. That is the reason people want that shiftless moron Obama out of the White House.

I love the way Snake likes to harken back to the Nam, which he knows nothing about and was probably before he was even born / hatched.

Partner, they were not using sling shots in Laos unless you consider something called SAM's or SPAAG's and made in either China or the old Soviet Union a "sling shot".

This, like so many of your posts demonstrate, you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about.

Maybe you should Google the two listed items above and get some idea of what our air crews were facing, God knows the ground troops had it much worse.

By the way you sound, your closest candidate to your views might be Libertarian Gary Johnson (better than BO social liberties, and better than MR on pocketbook issues)

Fred

You are libertarian- for small government for both social and economic policies. The opposite would be populists- large gov interventions both in social and economic policies. The party / ideology of the president is unlikely to be related to the economic performance. Budget and fiscal bills must be passed by both the chambers of Congress and signed by the president. Most of the time, the government has been divided government. So nobody can significantly change the content of the budget from the previous year's budget. Monetary policy is run by the Fed, an independent agency insulated from the chief executive and Congress. Plus, the Federal govt spending only accounts for 25% of GDP. How could they influence the whole economy? We just need competitive labor force and innovative industries.

Article explains why we are talking birth records and tax returns instead of the economy. I like Brooks. He is fiscally conservative but moderate on social issues. I am actually fiscally conservative but liberal on social issues. Too much God in the Republican party for me. And wierdly I have done better financially under Clinton and Obama than I did under Reagan and the two Bushes. Sometimes I think I am out of synch with the whole fucking world.[/QUOTE]

Snake you can not possibly be that stupid.

The bombing campaign of Cambodia and Laos from 1965 to 1970 was to counter supply and support facilities located in those countries during the war in Nam. Those interdiction sorties were flown in direct support of the war in Nam and are one in the same with that conflict.

Again your posts display your lack of knowledge and ability to address the topic in an intelligent manner.

Clearly reading comprehension is not your strong suit, as I have never mentioned Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos in this thread or any other on this forum.

Obama leads Romney in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania:

I guess those working class voters in these states really DO care that Romney utilized (now) illegal tax avoidance schemes, offshore bank accounts, and shorted his own national currency.

That Conservatives are religious zealots is a deliberate distortion built upon Soviet style disinformation. I am a hardcore Conservative and God has nothing to do with my politics, excluding, of course His role in guiding the Founders (as described by them, not me) and that whole concept of God-given rights imbued upon us by our Creator (understanding that different folks believe in different creators) thingy. In fact, never in my life have I encountered a true Conservative trying to force religion on others. To the contrary, uniformly across all of the Conservatives that I know, they are for religious as well as personal freedom, even if that means having no religion. The best example of who is for religious freedom and who is against it can be found in Obamacare denying religious institutions and individuals their First Amendment rights to practice their faith. True Conservatives believe in upholding the Constitution, which stipulates the LIMITED role of the federal government and is incompatible with institutionalized discrimination against any Americans (gay, black, trans, latino, even people from San Fran).
