Romney is by no means the ideal candidate to reduce the corruptibility of government, but on every issue his position is superior to Obama's on this parameter. We need a level playing field, not some bureaucrat deciding who must obey the law or be fined, and who will get a waiver.
You're missing the point. I'm voting for Romney because I don't want a level playing field. This is what I want:
-Less regulation on proprietary trading and private equity
-Lower capital gains tax
Romney will do a better job of putting money in my pocket. I care about expensive cars, nice suits and apartments with a view of the Empire State Building. Is it bad that Romney's policies will probably screw over the working man? Yes, but if they're too dumb to see that, then so be it. I care about me and my family having access to vacations, private schools and the Ivy League. I don't care about what's "fair" whatever that might mean.
we need leaders including congress that will stop the debting.
we switched from bush to obama bek he made this promise, he broke it.
its not about skin tone, its not about party affiliation, its about the money show me the money.

More like "Show me the jobs!" Obama has not created a single job in four years!

Wow!!!!
This is what a lot of people fear from the Republican party.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the US Constitution gives Congress the power to levy taxes for the purpose of national defense and/or the general welfare.
I am a policy wonk and I read about what Romney says he wants to do, which include lowering taxes more than the Bush tax-rates on the rich and cutting Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid for everyone else. He also talks about closing "loophole," like the mortgage tax deduction. (Wait, that's not a loophole, that's an intentional deduction for the middle-class.) Romney also talks about "broadening the base," which is newspeak for taxing people who make so little that they pay no income taxes. These people are mostly the elderly and disabled.
So all together, Romney proposes to shift the tax burden from the rich downward and cut federal programs for the poor. I can't see why any middle-class person should vote for this guy. The country will be even more controlled by the elite after he got done with it and income inequality will be shifted even more to the rich.
