So...I guess you're a perfect example of why trickle-down economics don't work...
Kanzen. you deal in facts...bravo...RMoney will likely win the election however because racism has returned like crazy since Obama was elected. RMoney has no platform...just lies...he has no position at all. The last presidential debate he agreed 100% with everything Obama said. RMoney was like, "see I'm just like him...but white.
The GOP hammering away at Obama being Kenyan, Muslim, "not like us" yada, yada...was purposeful. It worked. Where I live, the racist whites have now started to openly use the "n-word." It's all good again.
23% fewer whites in America...in every age category...are voting for Obama than they did last time. They just can't stand a 1/2 white man - 1/2 black man in the White House. They want a white guy...they really don't care if he has any plan at all.
Bain, which was created by RMoney had a 5-point plan created by RMoney...that's why he keeps talking about his "5-point plan" for America, which he did call a "company." And Mitt has never stated what his 5-point plan is. All you have to do is follow his 5-point plan for companies he Bain-ed.
1) Harvest any profit centers. (In America, that means find all the areas where the government does work very well then privatize each one...sold to whom do you suspect.?)
2) Any manufacturing jobs a company has...layoff those workers and out-source those jobs to China (In America that means end any medical care and retirement funds of Federal workers...cut wages drastically...if they won't take them...fire them. End any unions)
3) Take all retirement and medical account monies (In America that means end Medicare and privatize Social Security)
4) Any viable profit center left in the company after 1, 2 and 3 above...saddle with huge debts by using what's left of the company as collateral. The company usually limps along...but can't pay it's new ginomous debt load. The company goes bankrupt and disapears...YOU make a killing becaus YOU shorted the company...the very company YOU purposefully caused to die....WIN, WIN, WIN for the vulture Bain. (In America, this means doing the same thing...created a ginormous debt load...exactly as the GOP did during Reagan's term, G. H Bush's term and G. W Bush's term...then you can claim the national debt has to be delt with...it's an emergency! Of course, you created the emergency)
5) Sell off all assets of value. (In America, that means Mitt will sell off all federal and public lands to corporations to mine and drill and cut all the trees down. End the EPS so they can do what they want without any concern for the environment. Keep in mind America is the ONLY country in the world that gets NO money from companies that mine and drill. NONE. All the mineral rights are sold to the companies...in other words, the rich get rich while the actual land gets raped and the "common man" gets nothing but loses the open land)
THIS is RMoney's 5-point plan. If you aren't super rich already, you will NOT do well at all. He will cause middle class taxes to go UP $2000 more per year. He will end ObamaCare. He will voucherize Medicare which will cause those over 65 years of age to pay $6000-7000 more for health care every year WHILE being forced to buy private health insurance...BUT WAIT...they won't be able to get it at all...because with ObamaCare ended, pre-existing conditions again will dissallow you from being able to buy health insurance.
All Mitt's side needs to do is 1) stir up white racism. Check...done. 2) screw up voting in "swing states." Check...doing that...only the GOP has been caught doing massive voter and registration fraud in Colorado, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio. Interesting no? The GOP controlled legislatures in those states are doing voter suppression (which magically only really affects Democrats) while doing massive voter fraud themselves...which, of course, is the very reason they sited in doing voter suppression.
Tagg Romney bought the electronic voting machine company that will do the OHIO votes...hummm...will there be a repeat of 2004 when 350,000 Ohio votes for Kerry were changed to be votes for G. W. Bush after they were funneled into a supercomputer in Tennessee run by Dick Cheny's #2.
I completely agree Paradise_50 and Kylecook.
One thing I forgot to mention is that, both Romney and Ryan have stated in public avenues they want to dismantle the EPA. And just recently, as Hurricane Sandy hits, Romney said he wanted to close down or make huge cuts to FEMA (and possibly NOAA). Now, I think FEMA is a bloated organization that could use some serious reforms, but they don't need to be closed down as they are out there right now trying to help people.
But of course the, "mainstream-liberal-media" hasn't said a fucking word about it on any station.
I should clarify that my first post, I am not a vehement supporter of Obama. His record on Civil Rights and Domestic Spying absolutely disgusts me; but again in a FPTP Voting system will always fuck us over. So yeah, I have to vote for the lesser evil. Obama isn't perfect, but he sure as hell less likely going to hand over the remaining national wealth to the top 1%. Romney is like the manifestation of what is wrong right now. Buying companies, firing off people, sending jobs overseas in droves, selling off the companies for cash, and then hiding his money in foreign banks and tax havens so that he doesn't give back. People that seriously think a man that has spent most of his life accumulating his vast fortune (estimations up to 250M) has their backs have to be insane.
NO BULLSHIT bustMall...how old are you? Did you live through the Civil Rights and Women's Rights era? I'll bet $10,000 of Mitt's money you didn't...AND, if you won't accept FACTs...you are nothing more than an ego with an attitude...true dat.
Here is another FACT about Willard...brought to you by Calvin Johnson (yep...that Calvin Johnson...tax expert):
"Romney's main asset was his partnership interest in Bain Capital. Bain Capital was a leveraged buyout fund, which made its money by buying all of the stock of target companies and replacing most of the stock with debt. The replacement of stock with debt got rid of almost all the corporate tax of the acquired corporations because the interest on the debt was deductible. Getting rid of corporate tax by the acquisition typically meant that Bain Capital would increase the value of its investment in the small residual stock it held by two to nine times, just by taking over the target company. The big multiple increase in value was immediate. The subsequent growth in value of the acquired stock would be more modest and losses were common. When Romney made his contribution to the kids' trust and his retirement trust the enhancement had already occurred. It is likely that the partnership interests were worth $25 million to $75 million when contributed, judging by what a smart buyer would pay for them, which is too large to fit under the $1 million gift tax exemption or the limitations on contributions to the retirement trust.
Misvaluation of that order of magnitude is subject to a penalty of 400 percent of the tax at issue, without regard to the subjective state of mind of the contributor. For Romney, the misevaluation penalty would be many tens of millions of dollars."
I'm certain Mitt's your guy bustMall...fact free zone...and I'll also bet $10,000 of Mitt's money that YOU are having NO trouble whatsoever in voting...
Bullshit...he said bullshit...like that works...like that is how you shut down reality...just call it bullshit (project GOP's ways much bustMall?)
Sugarpie..I'm extremely involved in politics...I'm working on two campaigns this cycle. The 23% difference in white voters this cycle is a true fact. I don't put out bullshit...just facts. The reason I do so is to allow those who are still conscious, rational and reality based to learn the truth and then decide for themselves what they want to do.
I believe still in "critical thinking." I was brought up in the USA during a time that was how it worked. Interesting that the state of Texas recently passed a law making critical thinking illegal to teach in public schools...geez, I wonder why?
