ROMNEY – A Man With a Terrible Track Record?
All indications are that Romney would be a terrible leader.
When Romney governed MA, that state was the 47th out of
50 states in the US for job creation. And he imposed numerous
new fees upon MA residents that he refused to label as taxes.
Romney raised MA’s debt by $2.6B over 4 years as governor.

So what do we have in Romney?
• A man with a terrible job creation record.
• A man who increased expenses for the residents of his state.
• A man who raised the debt of his state by $2.6 billion in 4 years.
• A man who lowered taxes for only the richest residents of the state.
(All of the above occurred BEFORE the Great Recession set in,
unlike the disaster Obama was left with from Bush Jr.)

What on Earth would ever give you faith in Romney?
GORILLA
I think you just copied and pasted that info without analyzing anything.
But for entertainment have some of this:
_1.What is a ‘Charitable Hospital”?
_3. Whatever that is, liquor is a luxury like cigarettes and a stereo
_4. Drug Companies are the middle class; really?
_5. Health providers don’t have to increase fees upon a tax hike.
_6. Tanning is a luxury as well. BTW, only the middle class tans?
_7. This just sounds ridiculous devoid of elaboration.
_9. Do you dream this stuff up?
_10. Oh the middle class hit again…
_12, Those unfortunate middle class manufacturers.
_16. My heart goes out to these executives.
You make a fundamental mistake of assuming that cutting into the pockets of
the rich automatically causes them to increase prices of products. Wrong.
They can’t raise prices through the roof because exporters of products to the
US keep pricing down due to competition. You learned something today.

You state that “Families' Wealth Dives 39 Percent in 3 Years”.
Wonderful; now explain to us how Obama is the cause of this.

Thanks for the advice. People have limited attention spans and my link
is a way of getting through to them. Not everybody likes to read.
People who like to read can do so without my urging. At times I do post
more informative links however as you have recommended. It just depends
upon the topic and the moment.

The man has plenty you can attack him on. It would be great if you used facts though. It adds credibility to your argument. Instead, you have helped everybody to identify you as a political hack without the intellectual honesty to state facts.
