Uh; Staples, Wal Mart and so on DON'T do boo; it's PEOPLE who shop there. Sheesh!

1 thing I've noticed is some: NOT all, small businesses DO have an "attitude" so I'd go to Wal Mart to get better service if burned by a Mom and Pop.

I'm a Liberal, attacking Romney for this is wrong, the business world is competitive and arguing one cannot compete with large companies is also wrong, did those smaller companies do anything to lower the cost of supplies to them ?
Or did they stay separated totally and get hung one by one ?

Large companies do get fat and lazy with huge overheads then one can grab a chunk of their business by being lean and efficient.

I'm not a greedy little man like he is. I understand that taxes are the price you pay for a civilized society. What a pity he wants our highest office yet sees no problem that so many Americans pay a lower tax rate than he does!



Oh no it isn't. He only got to make it because of things like infrastructure and the education of workers that others helped pay for. Republicans are complete liars when they imply otherwise.



I want really rich people to pay their fair share. As a Republican you want me to pay more so that Romney can pay less. Republicans have no problem with a handful of people earning so much money they can't even spend it. Worse with arguing that local teacher should pay more to make up the difference.





You guys are the ones who got us into two costly wars and then handed tax cuts to the really greedy. Romney pays a lower tax rate because he has enough money to bribe Republican pols into going along with that.

Tax rates should go up on the Romneys of the world. They serve no purpose at all other than to steal money from most workers and spend it on dancing horses.

Oh my God...this has to be a Saturday Night Live writer!!!!! LMFAO
Nobody is really this goofy.

You had me going there for a few minutes.

But he creates jobs...............for workers in China.

Amazing that millions of poor white trash will line up to vote for him. I wonder how many will be holding their nose when doing so? If anyone deserves minimum wage and no healthcare benefits, it's those folks.

This could be the dumbest post I've come across on CD this week. Good job!

I think we need a country that treats ordinary working people fairly instead of insisting they subsidize the Romneys of this world.

That's why I'm not a Republican. That's what I think.
^yes.

the GOP is now a party of fascists who will do anything for the 1%. The rest of us, meaning ALL Americans, unions, teachers, public and private sector employees, and any people who aren't billionaires, can all be damned.

Anyone not seeing this is either

A. A multi-billionaire like the Koch Bros.

or
B. brain-dead, or a victim of home-schooling and a very poor education.

Nah. You'll never understand that fact.
Oh bull crap. He lives in a low crime area because people where he lives doesnt have a need to run around and burglarize other peoples homes.

All you are doing is making things up, and they arent even good lies at that..

By far the most bizarre post in 7 years I have seen on CD.
And that is saying ALOT.
