Hard to think of something that would benefit the Obam campaign more than that...
Maybe actually having accomplishments of his own to run on instead of relying on the failure of someone else to boost him. Its f'ing sad that we are literally stuck with two god awful candidates and its a race to pick who sucks the least. People are content with this BS and its pathetic.

If you earn the money (or inherit it, legally win it, are given it as a gift, etc.), it's your money. When the government takes others' money (involuntarily) and redistributes it to you, it's not your money. Simple as that.

O noez! A bunch of righties are calling in a liberal talk show! That logically means Romney will win the election. Conservatives just get stupider and more deluded the more they see Romney crash and burn

Yes, and while the wealthy get these tax breaks they are usually very helpful in giving back through foundations and other charities...... you Libs never even acknowlege these things do you or thank them for their generosity?

The Libs just call them names and belittle them with this blind jealous hatred

These charities and foundations are also a choice.... not the stealing through taxes that hardly ever go to their intended purpose

Bill Gates's Charity Work, Events and Causes

History / About Us / Ford Foundation

Warren Buffett's Charity Work, Events and Causes

Just a few of those evil wealthy in the nation and what they do with their wealth......so horrible .... guess the only way they could be decent people to the mostly hateful freeloading Libs would be if they gace ALL their money to the government instead right?

Except apparently for the 47% of the people who, we are informed, will vote for Obama to express their sublime joy. So when you say "people", you really just mean you, your friends, and Rush.

Actually not. It's a fact that giving the wealthy doesn't help anyone, just hurts the country and the taxpayers.

The wealthy are the cause of most of the problems in this country. Just read your bible in the chapter marked GREED.

Romney is one of the most tone deaf campaigners I've ever seen. They don't call the GOP the "Stupid Party" for no reason, nominating Thurston Howell III

Maybe he's in the magic 2% above 100% of those 47 percenters...
