for all you voting mitt romney please read all the facts i had posted up and honestly tell me that's who you want running the country
All you did is talk about the bad things romney did and say a couple good things about obama.
And you are right, romney does want to drop taxes on rich but thats not all of it. Romney wants to cut taxes on everyone.
America has a massive deficit, how do you plan to pay it off without any revenue? By slashing programs. Non partisan committees and groups have looked at Mitt Romney's tax plan, although he hasnt provided them with much, it would appear the middle class and lower class will take a massive hit in the loss of essential programs and tax rebates. You cant pull back trillions of dollars from a couple loop holes, more so if you arent going to close those loop holes since they favour the rich.
I hear all this complaint about Obama, but the right wing in the US have conjured up a storm of rhetoric so strong that proper news never comes to light
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/20/us/po ... html?_r=1&Did you know that Obama increased the deficit in his first budget by 2.7 trillion over 10 years? Was it because of Obamacare? Socialism? No. It was transparency and closing the budget gimmick from Bush that excluded the Iraq/Afghanistan war from the US budget, excluded some medicare costs, etc. So he and his party didnt look as bad.
Did you know Obamacare (also known as the ACA, did you even know its called the Affordable Care Act or have you been educated only by fox news?) isnt socialistic left wing communistic muslim takeover of the US. When explained to people, a whopping majority (I think it was 86%) supported it completely when asked if they supported Obama care, the split was more even to 50/50. It closes loopholes, it forces insurance companies to be compliant, it allows for the uninsured to be insured while still being cost neutral. I suggest you actually look into it, as in actually look into it, as in read what is in it not from a news outlet but the actual document and summaries included within. its a good step to modernizing USA's bloated and inefficient medical system.
Whoever wins this election will look like a genius because the US is on course for a vibrant recovery. If it is Obama, fox news will remain adamant that Obama screwed up, repeatedly.
Or you know, give the election to Romney who is rumoured to have not paid taxes for 15 years. That will cut the deficit.
This is like the Reagan praise for ERTA when the Democrat led TEFRA (Largest tax increase in Peace time history) actually righted the wrong and boosted the economy. Reagan's cuts to taxes did nothing with ERTA, it made the recession worse. Stimulus focussed into the roots of the US working industries (Wahhhh, socialism) is what pulled them out of the mess. Reagan was just clever enough to listen to and follow other people from the other side resulting in a huge growth period of half a decade alongside the largest tax increase outside of war. At least Reagan worked with democrats on legislature , something that the current Republican party of Filibustering everything can learn from.
Yes, I am being aggressive, but the current arguments here are pitiful. Absolutely pitiful.
