    Do you think he consults his accountant before each time he pays his tithing to ensure he has an accurate gross/net number to base his donations on?

      If Romney is paid income between say 12/24 and 12/31, does he ensure his tithing is paid during the same calendar year as his tax filing for that income?

        Let me see if I understand you. You are saying that Romney paid 10% of some number in between his net and his gross. IOW, he paid more than 10% of his net, yet he didn't pay 10% of his net? Strange line of argument. Also, who gives a flying ....

          If you wanted to be president, thought it might come up and had limitless resources at your disposal, would you?

              If I wanted to be president, I would realize early on that there are insincere wankers like SoonerCoug that aren't really interested in voting for him to begin with.

                You don't even know what % of his donations to the church were to tithing, fast offering, to BYU, or whatever.

                      Tithing on carried interest is only 5%, duh. It creates jobs that in turn create more tithing, Bensonomics.

                          Why does that make your opinion any more valid? You don't even live in Michigan!

                              Sooner, until the Romney's write hand-written notes to your grandparents every 2-3 months, your opinion is no more valid than anyone else's.
