So let me get this straight, even if you were a "freeloader" you would still vote for the guy who wants to cut you off....and being a "freeloader" isn't the same as taking responsibility for anything, right? So basically, you are a walking contradiction?

Actually I do take personal responsibility for what I do, I am working to pay off my college loans that helped me get my degree. The tax breaks I enjoy are what help me pay for food and housing, so getting all my money back each tax season isn't the same as being a "freeloader" now is it.

If 90% of your programming is these "contributors" saying that Obama sucks, what difference does it make?

So, tax breaks for you but nobody else? Yep, that's what you are alluding to. If you get everything back plus some each year, you are not contributing you are taking.

Oh, so you are saying you don't do any tax breaks when you file your taxes? That is very noble of you.

Don't you complain about "rich" people taking tax breaks? PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE! Isn't that what your messiah wants YOU to do too? Or is that just for everyone else?

And when I am as rich as Romney, I promise to not use tax breaks that are only available to the richest people and will do my part to pay my fair share. Until then, I am doing my fair share by paying back my loans and working my way up into a career.

Maybe you should stop listening to Fox News so much, Obama isn't my "messiah" he is my president and a man I voted for in 2008 and 2012. There is a huge difference. Besides, you should never believe in false prophets, and trust me Mitt is no messiah for you.



Oh and from the famous Ronald Reagan.
Quote:
When President Reagan urged the passage of the 1986 tax overhaul, he said that ”millions of working poor will be completely dropped from the tax roles,” which he said would make the tax overhaul package ”one of the best anti-poverty programs this country has ever seen.”

The fact is that these people are working for the Romney campaign, so what is your point?

That professor is wrong.

How old was bush/cheney when they manufactored a series of lies which resulted in over 5000 American and over 500,000 Iraqi citizens death?
They didn't manufacture a series of lies so your question can't be answered.
