Happy, happy, joy, joy....
I am assuming you like the Ryan pick?
Happy, happy, joy, joy....
I vowed to never comment around here anymore, but I just have to. First you do realize that he is going to decrease the budget first by giving another big tax break to the wealthy & covering this extra reduction in income by cutting medicare, medicade, the department of education, the department of transportation, the EPA, veterans benefits & food stamps among others. In other words, a tax break for the wealthy balanced on the backs of the middle class & the folks that really need those benefits he is willing to cut.
And you are no doubt aware that this policy wonk that has been so involved with balancing the budget & pushing all these cuts, still won't balance the budget until the year 2040. That is 28 years of suffering for the folks in need while he & his rich cronies cop yet more tax benefits.
And, I have no doubt that you are aware that if his budget plan were in effect now, that Mitt Romney would have paid .89% in taxes this year instead of the 13.9% he did pay. Is there any wonder why "I've got mine, the hell with the rest of you" Mitt Romney is on his side?
Oh & here is one other little tidbit. Mitt refuses to release his tax returns but even according to the lady that was doing the vetting for VP, they "Mitt & The Committee" required all his candidates to release multiple years of their tax returns to him.
This pick by Romney was nothing other than an attempt to pick up more support from the far right wing nuts that have put this country's best interests aside while they have done everything possible to stop anything that would have helped. In the words of Mitch McConnell, 2 days after the election..."Our major effort will be to insure Barak Obama is a one term president." And he & the Republican caucus have set out to do just that no matter how much it negatively affected any attempt for this country to move forward.
The Republicans continue on this path of trickle down economics. It has never worked & there is no evidence that it ever will.
Even Fox ( the mouthpiece of the far right) News just last week, had a new poll out that showed Obama ahead by 9%. I expect that when the public gets a face full of what Paul Ryan is bringing to the table, this % is going up!
Ryan is going to have to really sell himself to the indy voters who will decide the election and I don't know if he can do that or not, it will be interesting to see if he can.

Paul Ryan qualifications? HA!!!!!
I'm never the kind to label myself (or anyone else), so I stick away from Dems-Republicans / Liberal-Conservative / Left-Right descriptions, because I don't believe yu can group all people of similar ideologies into one monotonous badge. Also, I'm not American, so my opinion is mildly irrelevant
That said, I can't see how anyone would feel secure voting Romney into office when he's SO diligently avoiding the release of those tax returns. The man who hides typically has something to hide. His reputation is obviously taking a bludgeoning because he's being so secretive about them, and it's making his already-weak chances of getting elected fade into impossibility. And yet he still shirks away from releasing them? That says something to me.
Also, as someone who would surely vote Obama-Biden if I were old enough, or a citizen, I gotta say, Carrie Country, take it down a notch! Also, crying "Bush was a mean ole mister", while that may be the truth, helps no one. However, this post did make me laugh

You do realize that Obama's plan steals $700 BILLION dollars from Medicare and Medicaid do you not? Probably not, because we were not allowed to know what was in his plan until it was snuck thru a Congress that Obama said on MULTIPLE occasions that he was going to TELEVISE? Remember those words?
And Presidential candidates are not in any way obligated to release their tax returns. He's released the past two years. Obama still has not so much as released his transcripts from college! What is he hiding? Maybe it's the fact that he should not have been given a pass way back then to even be in college????????? In the US?????????
Have any of you ever read Michelle's thesis in college? It is so outrageously full of hate of the white women that it is almost sickening to read. And often of late I find that racism is what a democrat will turn to if you criticize absolutely anything Obama does.
I have voted democrat in the past and I have voted republican in the past. I can tell you right now I will not be voting for 4 more years under this president.
As we all know, Florida is heavily populated with Senior Citizens & Ryan’s budget is going to effect them more than almost any other socio economic group. So Florida is going to be an incredibly important state when the election comes down. Here are the headlines from Florida Newspapers since the announcement.
St. Lucie Tribune….Will Ryan Be Liability In Florida?
The Miami Herald….Ryan Could Hurt Romney In Florida
The Palm Beach Post ….With Ryan In, Medicare Key
Indian River Press Journal …Ryan May Be Liability In Fla.
The Sunday Tampa Tribune … Romney’s VP Move May Be Risky In Swing State Florida
Now, here is the strange thing. Romney is in Fla. today, but he sent Ryan to Iowa. Wouldn’t one think that if this plan is going to help Seniors in any way, then Ryan should be there to explain it? Romney obviously can’t do it. But instead, Ryan is kept far away from the fray.
PS: Smokeyiis...there was no more "Good Old Boys" choice for Romney than the ultimate Washington insider Paul Ryan. Romney was thrown against the wall by the more conservative members of his constituency & over & over again told to pick Ryan, He folded to pressure. You may see that as standing up for what was right, I see it as caving in.

People who are saying that Mitt Romney is hiding something in his taxes is old news he pays less than we do because he can take advantage of our tax code, but noone is talking about the 4 millions dollars Barack Obama spent to keep his transcrips hidden amomg other things. This presidents hides more things and stomps all over our constitution every chance he gets. You want to know what he thinks go back to all the comments he's made to other foreign leaders when he thought the microphones were off. Worst presidents ever and that say alot since Jimmy Carter was real bad.
Exactly what I expected. Are you from California? The state that is so far into bankruptcy as to almost be non existent? The state run by democrats? Sorry Ron, can't see your point when the left has led us so far into bankruptcy that not even my grandchildren's grandchildren could help. I need someone in office that will take some fiscal responsibility and I wouldn't give a dime to Pelosi, Reid or Obama. I'll just let the actors and actresses do that. (you know, the rich people)
True Becca, but what I do know very well is that the Pelosi run Senate put is so deeply in debt that we even lost our A+ rating.
This is Obama's tax plan (I'm an accountant) as posted by the Wall Street Journal:
Current Obama's
35% 39.6% Income Tax Rate
37.4% 52.2% Income/Payroll
15% 28% Capital Gains
15% 39.6% Dividends
0% 55% Estate Tax (2010)
I would be working solely to pay taxes with nothing left over to feed my family.
And as far as I know it's not the poor people that have job openings or provide jobs....it's the wealthy that provide all the jobs. So for heaven's sake, lets give those people the opportunity to employ some of these people sitting on their butts that COULD be working instead of collecting every penny from a broken government.
Okay, enough for now.
you think the tax thing is old news? how about the birther talk?
