I try to stay away from msnbc and fox. Ill watch them both sometimes and try to sort out fact from rhetoric. But I read most of my news. NPR isn't to bad either, but I find that even NPR seems to be developing a liberal slant.


A news person shouldnt ever be a celebrity.

I would like to know when "fact" and "truth" will be inserted in this race. Romney's numbers dont add up. And Obama just don't have a clue. As someone who has the ability to look around the corner and see what opportunities lie ahead, I get what Romney is saying about cutting taxes. But without the economic growth he is predicting his plans will destroy our already weak economy and explode our debt even higher.

I know what Romney is going for. In the past during the 1920's then during JFK's admistration and later in Reagans administration these presidents got taxes lowered from around 70% to 28%. This in time expanded the tax base and increased economic activity and led to the govt actually getting more revenue.

Whats different now is our rates arent 70%. Our economy is in the shitter because we all spent more money than we had, and now we have had to lose some stuff and pay our debt back. Its not taxes this time. We don't have 40% we can afford to cut out of our tax code. Or 20% for that matter. And then boost military spending by another 2 trillion over 10 years. What for?

I hope I am wrong. I hope cutting taxes by 20 percent works and does expand our tax base. I just don't see how we are going to be able to make the investments other countries are making in the economies and their people by cutting the taxes.

But we are a capitalist country. Capitalism is about risk and reward. But the question now is is the risk worth the reward this time. There is so much at stake.
