why would you vote for romney if you dont make 250k?
He is not for the middle class. People wanna blame helping the poor for our problems giving them a free ride blah blah blah. Clinton helped the poor...did we suffer as a nation...NO. Thats not the problem. The problem is republicans only want to help themselves. Tax breaks for the wealthy doesnt help anyone but the wealthy. You really think beause your CEO got a quarter mill that its gonna help you out? How can taxing the rich more than the poor and middle class help? Romney wants your parents to pay for your education. People need to realice that a tiny fraction of taxes goes to welfare!!!!! What about a trillion dollar war bush started...that what im mad about paying for! I work and ive been poor so i dont mind helping people out. If romney gets elected you can kiss the middle class goodbye. We will have ghettos next to mansions.

Sorry, Obama isn't middle class either and never was.
Second, Republicans want to help those that want to help themselves. We don't like paying for second and third generation welfare families. I have met a few successful people who used welfare to get them the education needed to get off of welfare.
Also, you do realize that even if we tax the wealthy at 100% above 250k it will only bring about 100 billion a year when we are borrowing 1.2 Trillion.
Actually, I paid for my own education just like my parents and a lot of the people that I know also paid for college for themselves.
As for the war, we were attacked for 8 years straight, from 1993 with the first World Trade Center bombing to 9/11 yet Bush's was illegal?
Hate to say this, but I started out making $5.25 an hour back in 1994 and now am making a decent salary after getting my mechanical engineering degree.
It is the liberals that will get rid of the middle class and the upper class so that everyone is struggling to make it.
Nice liberal rant though with no basis on facts or truth.

Because I don't HATE YOUR kids with a burning fury.
1- "The middle class" ALWAYS gets more prosperous under conservative policy and ONLY under conservative policy.
2- Clinton signed REPUBLICAN policies.
3- ONLY retards and liars have EVER claimed "tax-breaks for the wealthy" is representative of GOP policy since ALL GOP tax proposals feature lower rates for EVERY taxpayer.
4- I see YOU really think if my CEO gets LESS money he'll still spend JUST AS MUCH on what YOU do for a living. that settles the implied question in #3, doesn't it?
5- About 2/3 of Federal taxes simply go into someone else's pocket. Humans don't see 2/3 as a "tiny fraction."
6- Bush didn't start any wars. NO republican ever has.
7- Bush/GOP fiscal policy had our deficits FALLING.
8- Increasing the number of POOR is core to DEMOCRAT policy. Pay attention. There is NOT EVEN ONE elected Democrat not on record CELEBRATING increased numbers of people DEPENDENT on "government money."

This diatribe shows how ignorant the liberal sheeple really are. You say Clinton helped the poor and it did not hurt our nation. Then you say that the republicans only want to help themselves. You probably aren't aware of this but, the republicans were in control of congress for all but the first two years of the Clinton administration. They passed many measures that helped the poor.
Aaaaaaah.....that just completely blows obama's class warfare propoganda, doesn't it?
@Scott - so you think that a person who was born into millions pays little tax? Yes, that is the propoganda that obama is throwing out there for the ignorant liberal sheeple to feast upon, but is by no means accurate. Overall, you are a great candidate for a nice, permanent overseas holiday...HAVE FUN!

Romney wants to lower taxes for the middle class. Obama fools a lot of people with his rolled up sleeves, no tie on, and pretending to "relate to them." He has great speaking skills, but all he does ot talk and talk. He has no clue how to fix the economy. Obama is interested in giving welfare recipients more handouts and Romney wants them back to work. That's horrible, huh? Whoever controls the money controls the vote.
Romney/Ryan '12!

A tax break is an incentive to hire more people. And he has already said that he is not going to raise taxes on the middle class. And let me ask you something else..why should others get a free education when my parents make only slightly more than their parents and I struggle to make it through school financially? They are getting paid more than the difference of salaries. Does that sound fair to you? He has plans to cut back the grants, that's true, but also has plans to make college cheaper for everybody, not just the poor!

That's the basis of capitalism, hence what the republicans support. They have the money, so in a capitalist "democracy" like America they have the power, and so want to use that to give themselves more money and more power.
Yet at the same time Americans believe that Stalinism and Maoism are actually communism, so are totally unaware of an entire ideology dedicated to the betterment of those who work instead of those who don't.
*Edit: And will you thick morons stop calling Obama communist! He's about as Communist as the f****** tsar was. It's kind of offensive to people who are actually communists.
@Independ: So you think that the fact that a person was was born into a rich family, doesn't work but earns millions and pays little tax helps people? Or that if you give rich people more money they will feel the need to help people who deserve it? Or that the fact Romney (who doesn't work to earn his money, by the way) pays less tax than peole who work back-breakingly hard all their lives is okay?
@Peachy: You think I give a c*** what Obama says or thinks? I'm Scottish and a communist, and he's an American capitalist. I'm just arguing that Romney and the republicans are worse.
And if you wonder why I say anything about American politics whilst I'm Scottish, thanks to capitalist globalisation and American imperialism, your politics now affect us too. Thanks a bunch for that, by the way. And I'll point out that Obama=millionaire, Romney=millionaire, Bush=millionaire.... if there actually were any American presidents that weren't millionaires and more interested in their wallets than people, there can't have been many.

OBAMA isn't for anyone...he has hurt the middle class more than any president ever could..so your logic is really out there.
There are 20 taxes set to hit the middle class just in OBAMACARE, that doesn't include the taxes that will go up under the BUSH tax extension that Obama won't extend..the middle class has lost 40% of their net worth under Obama and new college students who would like to become part of the middle class have no chance with 50% unemployment rate.
IF ROMNEY FIXES THE ECONOMY...which he will it will help ALL CLASSES OF PEOPLE.
BTW, your communist President Obama? Communists don't have a middle class...just elitists and peasants...
Source(s): Why doesn’t Obama just tell Americans the truth...he was born and raised a COMMUNIST, his father is Frank Marshall Davis and when he said he wanted to fundamentally transform this country...he meant it. So the choice this election for Americans, once they know the truth, is a choice between...CAPITALISM and free markets vs. COMMUNISM and top down government control of all the money and everyone...by corrupted government. Obama is not a democrat...The truth shall set you free.. https://quitenormal.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/new-f... obamas-real-father-was-communist-frank-marshall-davis/ http://barackobamawebpage.com/barack_obama_leftist... http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/09/frank_marsh... ! - ?Lv 69 years ago
using 250k as a measuring stick, I'm "no class" ---- but as a retiree that worked for 50 years contributing to SS and Medicare, in no way am I voting for more Obama care and live in the dream that Romney can repair/repeal this travesty and turn around the downward skid of the economy.
- rightstuffLv 79 years ago
were you also mad on 9-11
clinton put in welfare reforms and obama did away with them
romney wants to lower taxes for middle class and get you off welfare by giving you a job if you want one
- ?Lv 59 years ago
It's too bad you libs don't get it. Mitt Romney will help the middle class. Obama is a failure and his policies have hurt everybody. Obama ran up the debt 6 trillion dollars and this is stealing from my children. Oh yeah I'm on disability and Obama is stealing from me.
