Do you really think my 91 year old father should get a job so he`ll have enough income to pay taxes? I think a WW2 vet who worked in a steel mill for 43 years has done enough.My wife is a care taker for a 5 year old with Cerebral Palsy. You want him to get a job too? Apparently you have no idea whatsoever who the 47% are.As clueless as Romney and that`s nothing to be proud of. No doubt you`re unaware that 8 of the 10 wealthiest counties voted for Obama which flushes your right wing talk show hosts talking points right down the crapper.

How much did Obama actually talk about tax increases? Very little. He talked about closing some loopholes, which is an idea that Republicans have given lip service to for the last several years.

Rubio's speech was out of touch and full of the usual empty rhetoric that we've gotten used to from the GOP.

Don't forget about the Hispanics. Since he illegally and unconstitutionally altered immigration law to accommodate their illegal alien relatives they fell for the Hope & Change sales pitch.

Yep he borrowed that idea off of Mittens and like him will not name the loop holes, when he identifies the loop holes let us know. He did not have to talk about tax increases the Senate did that for him with their new proposal of a minimum tax of 30% on millionaires.

Maybe if we legalized marijuana we wouldn't need to increase taxes so much.

If more people were working and less sitting on their butts draining the treasury, revenues would automatically be increased.

You increase revenues by growing the economy.

Thank you for playing.
