If Mitt Romney becomes Vice President, will he tithe his salary to the Mormon Chuch?

Question

Will Willard Mitt Romney, a Mormon, tithe any potential salary he will get as Vice President, should he be elected, to the Church or Latter Day Saints, better known as the Mormon Church? Is he really gonna give tax payer money to people who believe the Garden of Eden is in Missouri, that God wrote the bible on Golden plates found in upstate New York read out of a hat by seer stones and believe that you should marry 10 or more women?

Answer 1

By the beliefs of the LDS church, Mitt Romney makes the decision to pay 10% of all his income to his church.  Does it really matter whether it's taxpayer money?  Teachers are payed through taxes, and I'm sure most Mormon teachers pay 10% of their paychecks to their church.  A salary for Vice President is no different than any other salary paid by the government, and I think most people would agree that it would be better for him to contribute to his religion than to use the salary for cigarettes, video games, or a nice sports car - things that will benefit no one besides himself.

Answer 2

You do realize, following your line of reasoning, you are saying voters and government should be able to dictate to all people that recieve paychecks from the government what they can and cannot spend their money on, don't you?

That would include military, postal workers, teachers, judges, etc.

A government that dictates to you how you can spend your own money is not a free society - it's called the USSR.

Answer 3

Religious bigotry is still bigotry.

You are as bad as those against Obama because of his skin tone.

Answer 4

When Mitt Romney was Governor of my state, he did not accept a salary because MA was having financial difficultys. Yes, he is this pure of heart!

Answer 5

this my friends is the new face of the democratic party.  Hateful, intolerant, clearly a bigot.  This is why Obama has to explain everything he says, even when it is just a slip of the tongue.

Notice how this socialist/communist feels that Mr. Romney's personal money is somehow the governments money?  This is what is wrong with the liberal left.  Its just so filled with hate.

Answer 6

So is it that you are really this dumb?

Or really that hateful?

If he so chose, he would pay 10% of HIS SALARY to the church.  Which would be nothing compared to the income he makes from his various business ventures.

Answer 7

You really lack understanding of finances and salaries that badly?

If Romney is VP, he'll be given a SALARY for his service.  That's  called a PAYCHECK.  Your PAYCHECK is YOUR MONEY.

You are FREE to do WHATEVER YOU WISH with the money in your PAYCHECK.

Does that help?

Answer 8

Seriously, how is that anyone but Romney's own business what he does with his money?

Answer 9

Why should he?
