How will Romney Improve this Country?

[SniperFire]

They are night and day different....like extremely different.
Your clueless dude.
Obama and Romney are just alike....

Well go ahead and tell me how then. That's why I started a thread. How will the conduct their business as president differently? They can both make claims of what they'd like to do but in reality what they actually do is a different ball game. What do you expect Romney to actually do that will be different than what Obama has actually done.

Tell me how they are the same...specifically.

He won't. He is a troll.

[RDD_1210]

For those that support Romney, how will he change the direction of America so that we head in the right direction?

I'm looking for specifics and if you feel tempted to respond with any of the following answers, these are not specific and tell me you don't know what he'd do differently -

• He's not Obama
• He's pro business
• He understands the constitution
• He knows how a business works
• He has business experience

If you're tempted to answer using one of the responses above or something similar, please think about specifically what he'll do and what the expected outcome will be. I'm just trying to understand how people can support him and think he'll be that much different than what we have now.

Well not being obama and being pro business, pro original intent constitution, and knowing how businesses work through experience are actually all positives for independants like me with Romney. But I'll ignore those for you.

Hell I'll let Mitt tell you one thing in his own words, lets go for taxes. Tax



What’s at Stake

We are in the midst of yet another great American discussion about taxation. Perhaps no policy area has become more sensitive or controversial. At stake are two vital concerns for the American future: How will we generate sufficient revenue to balance our budget without discouraging economic activity, and will the burden of taxation fall equitably on all Americans?

Tax policy shapes almost everything individuals and enterprises do as they participate in the economy. With bad design, tax policy can discourage economic activity. With good design, it can encourage it. Yet our current tax system is an accretion of decades of patchwork decisions that came into being with no systematic thought for their implications for job creation or economic growth. Every year, individual taxpayers are forced to confront a Rube Goldberg contraption of bewildering complexity that leads to a range of undesirable outcomes, including the fact that millions of Americans have to pay hundreds of dollars to have their tax returns prepared by a professional who understands the rules. Corporations, for their part, are subject to rules and regulations that all too often encourage tax gamesmanship while discouraging reinvestment in the American economy.

Obama’s Failure

In approaching the nation’s fiscal challenges, President Obama has repeatedly called for a “balanced approach,” by which he means cutting spending but also raising taxes. That may sound appealing on the surface. However, the reality is that before President Obama exploded the size of the federal government, our existing tax rates were more or less adequate to pay for the government we needed. President Obama claims now to be offering a compromise. In fact, by undoing only some of the harm he has inflicted on our fiscal health over the past three years, he would ratchet up permanently the size of government and the tax burden on the American people.

President Obama’s proclivity for fostering uncertainty about the long-term shape of the tax code is particularly troublesome. He has embraced one temporary solution after the next while rejecting permanent adjustments that would bring some predictability and stability to investment decision-making. The result is a business climate marked by hesitation. When President Obama complains about banks refusing to lend and businesses refusing to hire, he should consider the impact of his own policies on that state of affairs.

No discussion of President Obama’s tax policies would be complete without a reference to Obamacare and its $500 billion in tax increases. Whenever President Obama discusses the need for more tax revenues, Americans should remember that he already got them and spent them on a health care scheme that is itself proving to be hugely disruptive to the economy.

Mitt’s Plan


Reducing and stabilizing federal spending is essential, but breathing life into the present anemic recovery will also require fixing the nation’s tax code to focus on jobs and growth. To repair the nation’s tax code, marginal rates must be brought down to stimulate entrepreneurship, job creation, and investment, while still raising the revenue needed to fund a smaller, smarter, simpler government. The principle of fairness must be preserved in federal tax and spending policy.

Individual Taxes

America’s individual tax code applies relatively high marginal tax rates on a narrow tax base. Those high rates discourage work and entrepreneurship, as well as savings and investment. With 54 percent of private sector workers employed outside of corporations, individual rates also define the incentives for job-creating businesses. Lower marginal tax rates secure for all Americans the economic gains from tax reform.
•Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
•Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
•Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains
•Eliminate the Death Tax
•Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

Corporate Taxes

The U.S. economy’s 35 percent corporate tax rate is among the highest in the industrial world, reducing the ability of our nation’s businesses to compete in the global economy and to invest and create jobs at home. By limiting investment and growth, the high rate of corporate tax also hurts U.S. wages.
•Cut the corporate rate to 25 percent
•Strengthen and make permanent the R&D tax credit
•Switch to a territorial tax system
•Repeal the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)



Would you like to discuss the tax policies more or would you prefer a different topic obama and romney differ on?

Thanks! Finally someone who can at least answer what my question was. I do appreciate it.

His plan sounds decent enough on the surface, but I wonder how we are not going to further increase our deficit if we are further reducing our tax revenue.

That is the rub for me too.

However, historical data does show that when the federal government has reduced the corporate tax rates they actually ended up taking in more overall revenue. The loss of revenue due to lower rates ends up being more than offset by the increase in economic activity the lowering of said rates stimulates.

But that only works to a point...i personally say we need to freeze taxes if anything (no raising, maybe lowering for some people making 5 figure incomes but that is it) and drastically cut spending on everything from entitlement programs to public sector worker employment compensation to compensation for elected officials and their staffs to the military.

[rightwinger]

Romney will cut taxes which will lead to an economic spurt resulting in more jobs and increased wages for all. He will slash welfare payments which will force the poor to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and work harder and stop having so many babies. He will kill Obamacare and replace it with......um.....um.....nothing

Right, I can get on board with big cuts across the board, but across the board means everything is on the table including the defense budget. I think big cuts with freezing the tax rates or a small increase for the richest among us would go a long way.

See I don't think our opinions are way off from each other. I appreciate that you actually responded to my question unlike the other children who don't want to or are unable to have a conversation with some actual thought involved.
