Tell us how you really feel Rom! I would've had some respect if he just said outright only N****s and S***s vote for Obama. Let's not act like Cacs don't agree fully.

For what it’s worth, this division of “makers” and “takers” isn’t true. Among the Americans who paid no federal income taxes in 2011, 61 percent paid payroll taxes — which means they have jobs and, when you account for both sides of the payroll tax, they paid 15.3 percent of their income in taxes, which is higher than the 13.9 percent that Romney paid. Another 22 percent were elderly.
So 83 percent of those not paying federal income taxes are either working and paying payroll taxes or they’re elderly and Romney is promising to protect their benefits because they’ve earned them. The remainder, by and large, aren’t paying federal income or payroll taxes because they’re unemployed. But that’s a small fraction of the country.

Part of the reason so many Americans don’t pay federal income taxes is that Republicans have passed a series of very large tax cuts that wiped out the income-tax liability for many Americans. That’s why, when you look at graphs of the percent of Americans who don’t pay income taxes, you see huge jumps after Ronald Reagan’s 1986 tax reform and George W. Bush’s 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. So whenever you hear that half of Americans don’t pay federal income taxes, remember: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush helped build that. (You also see a jump after the financial crisis begins in 2008, but we can expect that to be mostly temporary.)

Some of those tax cuts for the poor were there to make the tax cuts for the rich more politically palatable. “Do you think we wanted to include a welfare payment to people who don’t pay taxes and call it a tax cut?” A top Bush administration official once asked me. “No. But that’s what we needed to do to get it done.”

But now that those tax cuts have passed and many fewer Americans are paying federal income taxes and the rich are paying a much higher percentage of federal income taxes, Republicans are arguing that these Americans they have helped free from income taxes have become a dependent and destabilizing “taker” class who want to hike taxes on the rich in order to purchase more social services for themselves.

His campaign is a disaster:

*Barely any bump from the RNC
*Acted like he was the President when the U.S. embassy was attacked when he didn't even have the facts.
*America Loved Michelle, Bill and Obama at the DNC.
*Everyone talked about Clint Eastwood Chair Speech more than anyone else's at the RNC
*Leaked video showing everyone he is who he thought he was.
*Losing ground in all major swing states


The "I hate Obama" folks aren't enough to win the Presidency Mitt. You know how I know? I was apart of the "I hate Bush" folk in 2004 and voted for Kerry, but he still lost cause he wasn't a strong candidate. Is the Economy Bad? Yes, Are people hurting, Yes but that still isn't enough for Obama to lose cause most people know The Bush Administration is to blame for the hole we got in. Plus Romney spent most of his campaign attacking Obama instead of telling people what he will do. We are now in the 4th Quarter of this game and Obama is up by a lot. It's going to take more than some Hail Mary's to win. Obama just have to a few solid debates and it's a wrap. I'm not saying it's over, again anything can happen in politics but the news just keeps getting worst for Romeny.


:dwillhuh: had to read that four times breh...all good tho:youngsabo:
