You must not be doing good if this is what you make a living at and you don't know what the word "lease" means. If Silverstein was the owner, they would be the owner outright, not temporarily.
A lease and a leasehold is not the same thing..

Romney was put in check by the President of the United States and Commander in Chief, and he felt it.

Everyone did.

There was this mayhem, then eerie calm that felt dangerous. He suddenly realized he was talking to the Commander in Chief.

ROMNEY: I — I think interesting the president just said something which — which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror.

OBAMA: That's what I said.

Romney doe not decry the successful, Obama does.
How does returning tax rates for the wealthiest people back to what there were just 12 years ago constitute "decrying the successful"?

Ronald Reagan's administration had similar tax rates. Did he "decry the successful"?

Who is the corporation's? mother and father? You have parents, your dog has parents, does a corporation have parents?

Corporations are not people, but you are more than welcome to believe they are, which if that is the case, I have a beautiful bridge to sell you.
I should be billing you for my time to correct you non stop

The Southern Pacific Railroad objected to the taxes it was forced to pay in California. The railroad’s fight led to a series of Gilded Age court decisions, culminating in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. in 1886.

In this complicated case, the issue was the power of the state and counties to tax corporate property differently than individual property. The railroads contended that they were persons under the 14th Amendment — and thus differential tax rates violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution

If you havent learned this in 125 years, how long do you think it will take before you catch up with the rest of society?

YOU were the one who ignored the civilian deaths and and instead just focused on the property destruction. Don't blame ME for YOUR faults.

Are you HONESTLY stupid enough to simply think the Benghazi attackers didn't mean to hurt or kill the building's occupants?
Seriously?

How does raising tax rates equate to 23 million more jobs, an argument Obama said tonight during the debate?

I didnt ignore the people at all, we were discussing the EMBASSIES.. One doesnt need to go any further to the individuals to know its not a terrorist attack because the embassies are not civilian in nature, and neither are the people that were in them..

Romney well explained job creation....one example was energy. Lefties...check out Fort Murray up in Alberta....do you know who's running the show there and the amount of oil, including the stage and expectations....Romney can't even get into details with defending the lies and the amount of junk Obama keeps dishing out with his emotional cry baby garbage...this is about money...BTW...I know the student population really well and have worked with many many students over the years and Romney did very well here...Obama flunked out...even lefty students will zero in on that little talk....students want a job...50% job percentage after grad and Obama cannot make a suggested viable , believable plan for their future..Romney did....and all Obama can say is the deficit won't add up....Romney says yes it will with all his experience , success and expert financial overview....no way does Obama look good for the under 30 crowd after tonight....there will be a notice by the weekend in the polls...Obama is toast.

I'd rather see four more of Obama. Just to see all the Republicans whine and cry as they always do because THEY couldnt elect a competent candidate.

Why don't you ask Obama? I never said that.
Nice try at deflection though.
Care to actually ANSWER the question I asked (which wasn't even directed at you - but since you butted in...)?
