The same way they were paid for under Bush II, Clinton, and even the Obama debt commission. Are you really uneducated that when you grow the economy, more tax revenues come in, even if you cut the tax rates?

Who cares... Unios have been doing the same thing for decades, but for the Democrats. Vote this way or we stand to loose benefits and pay raises. Prime example public sector unions. They skip the taxpayer and throw their money they get paid by us, behind a candidate who will give them more benefits and pay. Once that's done repeat the step every election.

So how far should we cut taxes? Heck, why not make them as close to zero as possible if cutting taxes means economic growth.

Funny that you use the JFK clip like you are trying to say taxes somehow are magically as high as they were when he cut taxes. Do you know that we have the lowest taxes in history right now? How much lower should we go?

Default Koch Industies Warn Employees

Koch Industries, other CEOs warn employees of layoffs if Obama is reelected | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

The Koch Brothers ( #12 on the Fobes Billionair list) have spent about $50 Million to lobby Washington between 2006-11 and are the most serious backers of some super pacs. Of their many interests, they were and remain opposed to regulation of financial derivatives which brought the banking industry to its knees.

One does not drop this kind of money without expecting a return on their investment. It is impossible to get elected without being obligated to the money.

Regardless of party affiliation , how is it that " we the sheep" don't demand laws to put an end to lobbying and super pacs?

First of all, did he have to? No, he didn't. His charity has been very substantial. It's easy to sit back and be judgemental of someone isn't it. Where is Joe Bidens charity? What about Obamas charity. The only charity these men have given is to themselves. I don't think Romney even knows how much he has given away. He donated his entire inheritance for crying out loud. What do you want from someone? What is the level of your expectation, aside to condemn someone who has been more than generous and done so of his own volition. You have obviously made up your mind and if the man gave away his entire fortune, you would find fault in what he did.. Call it for what it is. It's called bias.. Plain and simple.

Romney didn't give away his entire fortune, he was very, very rich when he gave away his inheritance. Nothing wrong with that, but it is much different for a man with a lot of money to do something like that, and a man with no money.
