In fact Mittens gave more to charity, than Obamba, Joe foot in mouth Biden, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi AND Hillary Clinton combined. Actually, in looking at just 1 year of his tax returns, he gave more to charity, than the 5 mentioned above did in SEVERAL years combined.

Says a lot about their character, doesn't it. Oh that's right, they don't believe in charity, they think the government should take the money away from people and give it to the people THEY think should have it!

So true.

Here is who Mother Jones is registered to:

Foundation for National Progress
222 Sutter Street
Suite 600
San Francisco, CA 94108
US

Any organization with "Progress" in it's name is suspect. You know they are socialists (Progressives are socialists).

Obama is more shrewd and shifty..Romney is less so. YES Romney is that stupid..so you have a choice- the stupid slightly more honest guy or the clever and shrewd Obama who at least has the skill to make the lies less painful. It's like going to a dentist for an extraction...One dentist will do a bad job but use lots of pain killer...or the cheaper dentist who will do a poor job and use less pain killer...Both are going to rip the teeth out of your head...Who is available on the block who will repair the tooth painlessly? Looks like everyone is in for an extraction rather than a repair.

He understands that people need and some want to work. Business people are not hiring and there is good reason for that and Romney understands why they are not hiring and wants to make changes so they will hire. What is so hard to understand about that?

It was just announced that there are yet another 1200 who will lose their jobs with the closing of 8 more coal mines. Why is that? Because Obama put too many regulations on the coal mining companies and is putting them out of business. By the way, the electric bill will also go way up. Last week there was an announcement that a company in South Carolina is closing up and moving their operations to Puerto Rico and all these employees will lose their jobs. And the list goes on and on. If this keeps going who is going to be left to pay the bill for those who do collect government checks?
Too many people are getting government checks? Most 'government checks' are entitlements. Paraphrasing Ronald Reagan, who once said, "I paid for that microphone," those getting Social Security and Medicare paid for that entitlement.

I turn to today's New York Times editorial:


Quote:
When you think of class warfare, you probably think of inciting anger, resentment and jealousy among the have-nots against the haves. That’s what Mr. Romney has accused Mr. Obama of doing, but those charges have always been false. The truth is that Mr. Romney has been trying to incite the anger of a small slice of the richest Americans who need no government assistance but get it anyway, against the working poor, older Americans, the disabled workers and veterans, and even a significant chunk of middle-class Americans.
...
By his definition, those undeserving freeloaders include workers in low-paying, menial jobs (sometimes more than one job) who don’t even earn $9,750 a year, the amount at which they would start to owe federal income tax. Also included are older Americans whose Social Security pensions are too low to be taxed, disabled veterans and people who were maimed on the job.
...
But, of course, Mr. Romney was not talking about the Americans who make so much money that they are able to avoid paying any tax at all or who, like him, are able to shelter their incomes in overseas banks or tax loopholes that permit them to pretend that ordinary income comes from investment and thus pay lower taxes. Mr. Romney has been paying, by his own account, about 13 percent to 15 percent of his enormous income in federal income taxes. Just compare that with your own tax return.
So, in America, according to Mr. Romney, the rich don't have enough money and need tax-cuts, while the poor have too much money and deserve tax increases -- and you agree with that view.

Seniors do pay income tax if their AGI is above a certain level. I would wager most who are homeowners have their property paid off and use the standard deduction. Any retiree with mulitple income streams from investments, pensions, SS,etc. do pay income taxes. I write this as one is a family member and makes as much retired as when employed.

And here is some of Obamas friends:

Frank Marshall Davis, Communist mentor to Barack Obama and sexual deviant.
Sohale Siddiqi is identified as "Sadik" in Obama's memoir, Dreams From My Father, and is described as "a short, well-built Pakistani" who smoked marijuana, snorted cocaine and liked to party

Graham-Felsen ran the Obama campaign's blog. He spent time in France taking part in labor riots, has written for a socialist magazine, hung a communist flag in his home, and was a fan of Marx while at Harvard.

Jeff Jones is a co-author of Obama's Stimulus Bill. He used to be a terrorist.

Yep the president at work

No they aren't and good luck proving it with this twisted form of logic.

You'd have done better to simply plagiarize an econ textbook.
