1. Anybody, of any income level, who plays by the rules, and by the rules does not have to pay taxes is okay by me.
2. Should we relook the tax rules? Yes.
3. Should people who earn more pay more? Yes, on a dollar amount basis, but not on a percentage basis. I very much support a flat tax rate for federal income tax.
4. Are there people who don't pay taxes and are constantly on welfare and taking advantage of city, county, state, and federal assistance programs, when in fact they could earn atleast some part of their upkeep? Yes, that's why their entitlements need to be reviewed, and that's why sometimes "we do need more government to police programs with good intent that are being abused"
5. Was Romney attacking those that don't pay taxes? No, he was commenting that those folks would not be likely to vote for him just because he wants tax reform. Makes sense.
6. Were his words taken out of context for political reasons? YES.
7. Was he filmed and recorded without his consent or knowledge? YES
8. When do we get to see the video of Obama's pillow talk with his wive that he didn't know anyone was filming? Oh, that would be an invasion of privacy.....so let's not go there as fair minded Americans. But on teh other hand, lets not fail to publicize video we take without a person's knowledge or consent.


But other than that, I'm not really losing any sleep over it.
AWESOME.

And here is the thing.......this view, is pretty much my view. I lean much more right that that I think but I don't want to hurt anyone trying...

If you earn a wage but still cannot make it, then some help may be necessary, and I understand there are a whole lot of folks that fit that mold.

I will also tell you this......take anyone under the poverty level here, and compare them to real poverty.....or WHAT I grew up in. We don't have a poverty issue here, not if you can own a car, own a tv, own a cell phone, own an XBOX.

Later,
