I would like to see where Obama has ever signed the front of a pay check.
He has taken most of the green stimulus cash and given it to foreign companies.
He has taken the money intended to bail out home owners and has given it to his foreign bank buddies who helped him get elected.
This whole mess started with the housing crash.
In 1995 the progressives forced the banks to loan money to the poor folk who really couldn't afford those payments. Affirmative action.
The attorney who set that up was Barack Obama.
He inherited this whole mess from him self. Never really knew fuck about how the private sector economy works, never ran so much as a candy store.

ASTONISHING VIDEO EVIDENCE FOUND!!! the Clinton administration admitting their policy of "BANK AFFIRMATIVE ACTION". Secretary Cuomo admits they forced banks to make BAD LOANS. Video also shows Obama's tie to all this.

Obama is seen discussing his legal and community organizing career. See how it ties in to ACORN and the Clinton administration enforcement of the Community Reinvestment Act.

Steve, I think Romney paid more taxes into the system then you did. Poor people pay very little if any into the system.

Mitt Romney's income, $21.7 million in 2010 and $20.9 million last year — virtually all of it profits, dividends or interest from investments.

Romney and his wife, Ann, collected millions in capital gains from a profusion of investments, as well as stock dividends and interest payments.

The couple gave away $7 million in charitable contributions over the past two years, including at least $4.1 million to the Church of Jesus Christ

He paid an estimated $6.2 million in federal income taxes. According to his 2010 return, Romney paid about $3 million to the IRS, for an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent.

The question is whether you tax income on investments in a similar way that you tax income from actual hard labor. Using the World Financial system, playing tax structures one against the other, and other such "dodges", provide a formula for those who have money to accumulate more of it without having to actually invest in the local economy. I also view charitable contributions very skeptically and would eliminate all tax advantages to prevent discrimination that develops. Do you really think that Romney has any answers, other than the generic dribble he's been putting out along with his attack ads? I'm not saying that Obama is the best thing since sliced bread, but Romney continues to prove himself to be the "Alturnative" with solutions and answers that harken back to the poor economic decisions of the previous two Presidents. With this kind of selection it's no wonder that many are waiting to see how they feel the last two weeks of October.

Take a look at Gary Johnson! He's a better canidate than Romney. Yes Clinton and THE REPUBLICAN led congress[ remember Newt] did make a mistake, but the Rep.s had years to correct that and instead they doubled down so don't blame this whole mess on the Dem.s.

In rereading this thread I noticed I'd let myself be led away from the topic Romney Should release his tax returns.

He did but left wingnuts keep saying he didn't or else how else would we have this information?

He already told us what he will do and it is simple,a permanent low tax rate for private sector business to thrive and grow.
Those tax dollars will help pay down our massive Obama debt.

Progressives have reduced drilling permits on public land by 40% in order to make us all buy those peice of shit GM voltmobiles.
Romney will increase drilling back to where it should be and it will create jobs ,lower the cost of energy.
Hopefully he will reverse Obamas patent reform law that kicks in 2013. The new law will allow any big company to come fuck over any small inventor with the first to file because they are rich.
How many garage inventors will dare show their ideas now in fear of losing them?
America was founded by first to invent and that is what made us thrive.
Obama believes America is the bad greedy problem to the globe and needs to be cut down to size.

Yeah, simplistic bumper sticker solutions are going to resolve decades of problems . . . .

Not to mention that most of it would never pass Congress in the form he wanted it in. From what I've seen, Romney hasn't shown any more leadership ability in obtaining a consensus than Obama. Neither have any good answers, but voter options are limited.

Romney has taken many failed companies on the brink and made them thrive! Have you ever been to a Staples? they now have over 96,000 employees collecting a paycheck and paying into the system.
We can all try to "George Bush" the guy with lies and maybe say he is a big dummy bit his track record is going to get him elected as opposed to Obama who has never created a single private sector job in his whole progressive life.
