Tell me about Mitt Romney

Doove that's kinda being a double standard don't you think?

The reason I blame that health and entitlement stuff on Obama is because we were told outright, these are ripple effects of the system getting ready for obamacare, and to be prepared because it would only get worse.

I don't care about the obama argument because it's absolutely and completely pointless. I don't believe anyone opinion of that guy will change on either side. If he cured Cancer AND AIDS this week, my opinion wouldn't change. I want to know how Romney is evil in the eyes of the left. Is it only Taxes? That's still all I'm hearing is Tax based. It's ok if that's all there is, I was just curious.

If there is a navy guy out there that knows otherwise please feel free to correct me.

As for Romney's tax plan I have heard about the cuts for the rich from the democrats but they never discuss the reductions in deductions so that they are still paying about the same as a group. Obviously on an individual basis it will effect them differently.

As for the debt increasing, I dislike the slow response Romney has at getting it under control. The only thing far worse is Obama's plan to never balance the budget. So given the choice I will take slowly over never.

Yeah, those are some real credible unbiased sources that you cite. LOL. Sounds like the typical Democratic talking points to me. Originally Posted by NiceGuy53

his budget raises taxes on 98% of taxpayers

YOU.

his budget cuts federal spending and states that allocate $16 to feed their hungry will feel the brunt of the cuts.

thats YOU again.

His budget adds between 16-25% to Obamas already bloated debt ... ya like more debt?

Contrary to what everyone else on this board says [because they don't know the facts] Federal taxes haven't been this low for 60 years, and this is the sole reason why there's a colossal debt which is unsustainable.

Historically Federal taxes have collected about 19% of GDP. But because of all the tax cuts beginning in 1994 and continuing to today the Federal government has been collecting only about 15% of GDP in taxes since Bush took office in 2001.

This shortfall, primarily from the Bush cuts, is the sole reason why the debt has increased in scale over everything that happened until 2000.

The Federal government has historically spent about 20% of the GDP, but since 2009 because of increased spending associate with unemployment it's spending about 22%.

Yes taxes on the public have increased dramatically in the last thirty years....LOCAL TAXES! Not Federal income taxes, which have gone way down.

Most millionaires pay 15% or less.

Half the public pays ZERO......


btw...
In 1962 during Kennedy the Defense Dept. spent about half the Federal budget, and was about 10% of GDP.

The rich are in the process of having a huge transfer of wealth out of this country. That is how raw Capitalism works, it has no loyalty to one's country or fellow citizens. He is no different that the investment bankers that nearly brought down the worlds economy. They look short term and bottom line.

Here in Austin, Texas, tax rates and spending by the city and county are back on the rise after three years of little increase. They're back to throwing around money again like there's no tomorrow.
