Of all the fines levied against him, how much will Donald Trump actually pay?

I’m convinced that the taxes are not going to be released because they would be horrible. So..will Romney get points for “sticking to his guns” on this?
Preview from ABC interview of Ann Romney airing tonight:
Of course, many of those people are out of work because of her husband.
Nonetheless, Romney may get some traction by milking the DNC horse apology, and possibly distract from the tax returns, especially if the press cooperates by portraying the horse ads as a full-fledged gaffe and running with it for the next week or so.
Also, isn’t this the time of year when the news is usually taken over by a missing blonde girl?
Please be aware of this event today and try to attend.
Notice from SEIU 32BJ that rally will be held today July 19, 2012 to protest unfair treatment of workers by OPTIMA
Meeting at 1000 N. West Street Wilmington De. at 3:30PM. I apologize for the late notice but hope you can join me to express your outrage at this mistreatment of working people. Below are some details of the situation.
Respectfully,
John Kowalko
• Optima Cleaning Systems (“Optima”) is the largest non-union cleaning contractor in Delaware, cleaning approximately 2.2 million square feet in just over a dozen buildings, according to calculations by SEIU Local 32BJ.
• Optima workers earn as low as $7.50 per hour with few, if any, meaningful benefits.
• Optima has violated workers’ rights to organize by discriminating against them in hiring and discouraging membership in labor unions.
o In 2009, Local 32BJ filed an unfair labor practice against Optima with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that Optima had violated section 8(a)(1) and (3) of the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) by discriminating against employees in terms of the hire, tenure or conditions of employment of its employees, thereby discouraging membership of its employees in a labor organization. The case was settled and although Optima denied wrong doing, Optima agreed to post a notice about employees’ rights under the NLRA, and to pay seven employees back pay totaling nearly $25,000.
o At the beginning of July, Optima Cleaning took over the cleaning contract at the Christiana Corporate Center, owned by Atapco Properties. Optima supervisors told cleaners if they wanted to keep their jobs, they could not talk to the union. We believe that Optima also refused to hire workers who previously supported the union. Workers report that after Optima took over the contract from Bravo Building Services, their personal and vacation days were taken away and their wages and hours were reduced. Paystubs show that they are now earning $8.40 per hour.
• Five building owners in Delaware use Optima – Atapco Properties, M&T Bank , Delle Donne & Associates, Pettinaro Enterprises, and the Buccini Pollin Group, Inc, according survey data compiled by SEIU Local 32BJ. Optima Cleaning Systems is owned by Thomas Delle Donne, who is the nephew of Ernest Delle Donne, owner of Delle Donne & Associates.
I thought it was really hot out there this week running my landscape business until I realized that I wasn’t even out there making it happen.
Funny, that’s what Mitt said about running Bain.
Good one : )
But seriously, your guy really should stay on his prompter if he’s really that clueless.
Obama spoke a great American truth. Nobody builds a business in a vacuum; not in America or in any other developed nation. It takes a matrix of public services and infrastructure funded by taxation, plus regulation to keep your competitors honest.
Republicans have just ginned up a fake gaffe with some clever editing topped by a truckload of bullshit. I guess you fell for it.
The only way to misunderstand what the President meant is to apply willful stupidity. Luckily for the GOP, willful stupidity is not in short supply among teabags.
Republicans are building a strategy based on faux outrage, and trying to convert it to real outrage among the rank and file. Rush says business owners are offended, so they are offended. FOX says Ann Romney is offended, so the clueless are offended for her. Both of those are actually pretty clever maneuvers on the part of Republicans and they might score some short-term points, but they are still basically reacting to Obama defensively. It’s still a losing strategy.
God, these people are so clueless they think if you don’t get a Federal check made out to your business, you aren’t benefiting from the government.
If you want to build a business without government assistance, you have to go to the Libertarian paradise of Somalia.
Just like a racist George Zimmerman believes he was enacting “God’s plan” by murdering a black person. What a pig.
Please disprove this statement:
Private companies run on public infrastructure.
GOP filibusters the Bring Jobs Home Act, voting against American jobs.
The bill would have taken away tax breaks for companies moving jobs overseas, while providing new tax breaks for companies that bring jobs back to America. I guess Grover Norquist gave them the stink-eye.
Please let this start showing up in Dem candidate ads soon.
Stupid Republicans. They should be telling their outsourcing corporate donors that they’ve got to vote for American jobs so they can get re-elected, but they’ll repeal this law when Mitt gets elected and they get rid of Obamacare.
Like I said, he should have stuck to his prompter. His gaffe will be the gift that keeps on giving, and he will eventually say that he misspoke, or something to that effect.
I agree Republicans may be able to make some hay out of twisting Obama’s quote. That doesn’t make it a gaffe.
I think it may be time for Romney’s “I like being able to fire people” to start making appearances in Dem campaign ads.
Pires in TNJ: “I am following in the footsteps of a Delaware candidate who questioned the health of his opponent, and even went so far in drawing a contrast between his relatively young age and the opponents octogenarian status as to adopt the slogan, “a Senator for Delaware’s future.” That candidate was Tom Carper- when he made Sen. Bill Roth’s health an issue in the 2000 campaign.”
@puck- It’s no twist. He said what he said. It’s not even taken out of context.
“I agree Republicans may be able to make some hay out of twisting Obama’s quote. That doesn’t make it a gaffe.”
I agree that it wasn’t a gaffe. It’s obvious that our president actually believes it.
I certainly hope he believes it. We can’t afford another president who denies it.
Pires=asshat of the year. He has no platform, no ideas. This guy is a clown, and an IPoD clown at that. How long before he starts wearing dirty khakis like his new mentor, Wolfgang.
MJ – It certainly does seem like he has something personal against Carper, rather than any sort of positive platform. I wonder if TC voted for some anti-trial lawyer amendment that cost Pires some bucketload of cash or something.
SW – Could be. I still think this is some sort of stunt for another one of his TV series ideas. The last one about his new bar fizzled. And you had the blockbuster hit Mayor Cupcake. Hey Alex, keep pissing your money away.
