become this group that has contempt for people who work?
I don't remember them being like that. I remember them as the smart/money guys... the ones who kept the 'good-hearted' dems in check and ended up with a balance between the heart and the pocketbook.
I'm flabbergasted that a political candidate can pretend that anyone who doesn't vote for him doesn't pay taxes.
I know i pay a way greater percentage of my income in taxes than mittens.
funny that.
The GOP used to be about fiscal responsibility. Yes, they have always sponsored the idea of smaller government, and in doing so, they have usually held those with more liberal views somewhat in check. Over the last decade however, they have just become the party of protecting the top money earners, regardless of the cost to the deficit. Fiscal responsibility doesn't matter anymore; it's just about cutting taxes. Someone else can pay for it later down the road. Of course, any spending, whether good or bad, is the enemy; paying for things is never the problem. And yes, if it came down to it, they would throw granny out on the street if it would keep them from having to pay any taxes.
i really am flabbergasted.
i think romney's got a huge problem going forward.
I am so sick of hearing Republicans throw out that "47% don't pay any taxes" bullshit. Dems need to jump on that and let the truth be known. I love how cons never ever talk about the fact that they pay so much less as a percentage of income at the state level compared to the lowest income earners who pay the most, but they continue to throw out the stupid crap about 47% not paying any taxes, when in fact they do pay payroll taxes which actually total more than Mitt payed.
Obama needs to bring this up and throw right back at Romney. I hope this comes up in the debates.
