Romney looks like a kid in school who just realized he can get all the answers from the kid next to him...

"To make America more competitive" Competitive with what? Somalia?

Those are 2 issues that need serious addressing, and I'll add another, the bank bailouts; the banks get bailed out during their hard times, but none of us do during ours. But, it does not change the fact that we need a stronger wealth distribution system. The wealthier a person or company is, the easier it is for them to accelerate that wealth and become even wealthier. We need a system that redistributes wealth to offset that advantage.

Taxing the rich won't change anything. If you want to find what truly isn't fair, you have to look at our monetary system. In a system where banks are given a governmental monopoly on currency, it is unfair for a few reasons. One, the poorer people use and save money, and when the money supply swells (inflation) they lose as the currency loses value. Two, easy liquidity mostly goes to the very wealthy companies and individuals who the banks trust, and both make money making real investments.

Those 80% are making almost nothing compared to Romney. That's kind of the point - rich people should pay more taxes.

Rich people can just invest their money and sit back and watch it grow grow grow. The vast majority of us have to scratch and claw for every dollar we get.

[WeTheBanks]

Oh they do that. Even Mitt's super low percentage was more than the percent 80% of Americans pay. I just don't like rich bastards

[KillerBee256]

How is stating the truth bad monthing?

[KillerBee256]

Stable, that's a good one, I seem to remember a crash not too long ago... when was that oh does 2008 ring freaking bell!

[KillerBee256]

No but how about they pay their share of taxes?

[DrCAS64]

To think that the rich "write off" BILLIONS of dollars is just pure ignorance. How do you claim this? To write something off you need a qualified exemption or deduction. The only way a single person could write off billions is if he personally funded the war in IRAQ (or something at this level). You could then write it off as a business expense. Get real people. Most of you need to take an economics course.

But, what makes you think that I am not rich? wealth like Romneys is do to billions of dollars in tax write offs, if he was such a good model, then let him run everything he does with out writing anything off to the tax payers, he would fail quick, so would others, they write billions off to us and still want more, that is a poor model, talk about redistribution of wealth, talk about something for nothing, talk about wealfare to the rich, we need to end write offs! I do value your reply, thanks!

You make me sick. Always wanting something for nothing. Why don't you prove that you're worth paying more than $7.35 per hour. It's people like Romney that built the wealth of this country and provide jobs for people like you. If you want the benefits of being wealthy, get off your sorry ass and earn it!! The smart, hard working and dedicated people should not be punished, if it weren't for them you would have nothing.
