How come Obama's ad that he is trying to "help" the economy so wrong?

Obama's one ad is all about how Romney doesn't want the rich to pay their fair share while ignoring that roughly 50% of workers pay 0 income tax. In the past, when we needed to pay off debt everyone sacrificed to pay more in taxes. The Democrats keep bringing up the 91% for the wealthy back in the 1950's while ignoring the fact that the lowest tax rate was 35%.

Finally, it seems that everyone has forgotten that the biggest reason that we had the Great Recession is that all of the debt spending by the average person over almost two decades caused the average person to rethink their use of debt and how they spend their money.

    His ad is wrong because his agenda is to bankrupt the country and destroy our reputation world wide. Obama hates the USA.

    Bullshit. The reason for the Great Recession is that Barney Frank REGULATED the banks into providing loans to people who expressly could not pay them back. If you experts would OWN UP to that, we could get back on track much sooner. Instead, you people are content to perpetuate this nonsense by continuously denying the real cause.

    Everything about Obama is wrong. he has no record to run on since he is an epic fail. All he has left is class envy and the race card.
