The best part was when Gingrich said his investment in Freddie and Fannie was like a small mouse compared to Romney's huge elephant, and Romney nodded in agreement about his richness.

Also I find it hilarious that they're still going with "Romney worked hard for his money" when we just learned he made $42million, almost his entire income in 2010, from investments, which he just now said he doesn't even do himself. Where's the hard work in just having money and having someone else grow it for you by investing it on your behalf?
 
Some news station reported that Romney got a debate coach. He really got his money's worth, and I'm sure it was a lot of money.

Now that we can once again be back to Reality and see Mitt as the nominee...

Thursday afternoon, the LA Times reported that Romney’s tax returns listed 23 funds and partnerships that did not appear on Mitt Romney’s personal financial statements — the disclosure forms candidates are required by federal law to file with the Federal Elections Commission.

“This is the form that Mitt Romney has been using for months, and years in fact, since he ran for the Senate, as an excuse not to release his tax returns in the first place.” It’s a potent argument; why trust that one year of Romney’s tax returns are sufficient if they revealed new information? That’s the crux of Democrats’ argument that they now need all returns corresponding to past disclosures.

I am surprised Newt hasn't brought this up yet.
 
Newt attacking moderators and gotcha media instead of answering questions he fucking raised. Now they are booing questions. Fuck this audience.

Limit wealth? Paper nor gold are wealth. They are representative. If you doubled the amount of gold or paper money, you don't double wealth. You double wealth by scientific innovation to double the productivity of the economy.

I know, paper and gold are not wealth, wealth is the total producing power and property of the region, however using a gold standard as an intermediary between money and wealth has no positive benefits, only negative. It is a limiting factor. The amount of gold available to us is finite, however our wealth increases, that means gold has to be bound to the value of the producing power of the country, and small amounts of gold will being to represent great amounts of wealth, going back to gold would greatly increase inflation. A fiat monetary system is the only system that makes sense as we move into the future.
 
Romney even when he's successfully defending himself and attacking Gingrich can't help but sound like an out of touch rich guy, talking about how his trustee manages his blind trust to diversify overseas.
