Unless you make over $50,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year, you will pay more in taxes with a flat tax. Basically, the more you make the more it benefits you, the less you make the more it hurts you. Why on earth would middle and lower income families vote for a candidate who is promoting a flat tax?

me- what would you want? a tax cut for the middle class so you can go and buy something that you've needed or repair what is broken and help the economy here OR do you want a tax cut for millionaires so they can hoard it in overseas accounts and pay no taxes at all???
your choice.

"The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capital this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol. A search for a Virgin continues. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable......." - Janetha Komarinetz
Naomi Wolf
OMG OMG OMG: "The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. Even Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) raised his concerns about the NDAA detention provisions during last night’s Republican debate. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself.The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which will be on the Senate floor on Monday. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing."
me- better start paying attention to this- like NOW!
me- i am not a socialist but i can see why people vote for republicans even as that party continues to take money out of their pockets and stuff their already fat bank accounts- everyone thinks that they will hit the lottery someday and join the ranks of the robber barons!

The author of the Gospel of Matthew contrasted public and private prayer. He recorded Jesus as saying:
Matthew 6:5-6: "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men....whe n thou prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret.... "
me- some pols would do well to remember this.
our political leaders are not and should not be trying to replace or even attempt to co-opt the voccation of any clergy. seperation of church and state
THAT is what keeps us safe from being forced to believe any one brand of a belief system.

The Truth-O-Meter Says:
Says Barack Obama said, "If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose."
Mitt Romney on Monday, November 21st, 2011 in a television adMitt Romney ad charges Obama said, 'If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose
Critics say this ad by Mitt Romney takes a quote by President Barack Obama out of context. Are they right?
On the eve of a presidential trip to New Hampshire on Nov. 22, 2011, Mitt Romney’s campaign released an ad targeting President Barack Obama. In the ad, the Romney campaign used a quote that prompted an immediate counterattack from the Obama camp, which argued that it had been taken out of context.
The 60-second ad, called "Believe in America," is designed to contrast "candidate Obama from 2008 with President Obama of today," highlighting "his failures in between," according to the Romney campaign.
The ad contrasts a 2008 campaign speech by Obama with text on the screen that criticizes Obama’s economic record, including, "Greatest Jobs Crisis Since Great Depression," "Record Home Foreclosures" and "Record National Debt."
The ad then has a clip of Obama saying,"If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose."
The clear implication is that Obama believes that his economic record is so bad that he will lose in 2012 unless he can steer the conversation away from the economy.
But the Obama camp, among others, immediately charged that the clip was taken out of context. Was it?
Here’s what Obama said in the October 2008 speech, which came about two weeks before he defeated Sen. John McCain:
"Even as we face the most serious economic crisis of our time, even as you are worried about keeping your jobs or paying your bills or staying in your homes, my opponent's campaign announced earlier this month that they want to ‘turn the page’ on the discussion about our economy so they can spend the final weeks of this election attacking me instead," Obama said in the speech. "Sen. McCain's campaign actually said, and I quote, ‘If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.’"
So the comment is drastically different than the way it's portrayed in the Romney ad. Obama was actually saying that his opponent’s campaign three years earlier had said, "If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose." That context is not included in the Romney ad -- and leaving it out sends a profoundly different message.
The Romney camp seems to have anticipated this complaint. In a blog post published around the time the ad was released, Romney spokeswoman Gail Gitcho acknowledged that, "Three years ago, candidate Barack Obama mocked his opponent’s campaign for saying, ‘If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.’" She went on to say Obama is trying to distract voters from his economic record.
Our ruling
We certainly think it’s fair for Romney to attack Obama for his response to the economy. And the Romney camp can argue that Obama’s situation in 2011 is ironic considering the comments he made in 2008. But those points could have been made without distorting Obama’s words, which have been taken out of context in a ridiculously misleading way. We rate the Romney ad’s portrayal of Obama’s 2008 comments Pants on Fire.

LET THEM EAT COWPIES — Congress's SuperSized Committee doesn't want to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, the same people whose income tripled over the last 30 years while ours went up 46%. This is according to the Congressional Budget Office. Now, add to that the fact that 1/3 of the members of Congress are millionaires and that over the last two years, the net worth of members... of Congress increased 24%.
It's time to Occupy the offices and bank accounts of or Congressional representatives and to demand election law reform. If they won't do it, we must do it ourselves by electing new representatives who make a pledge to "We the People" to obey the Constitution and NOT Gover, or the Lobbyists or the Plutocrats.

i swear if my granddaughter had been in the car i would have had my first ever episode of road rage directed toward that man!
