I do have a question regarding Romney. He is suppose to be a real hotshot in business.

Since this is rapidly becoming a global economy, if not already; how will the American workforce fit into it. We are rapidly losing jobs here due to lower and cheaper wages overseas. We are losing jobs even in America with the influx of immigrants; illegal or otherwise. Will the American worker have to take lower wages to compete.

Also, will this global economy only benefit the rich. Will small companies here be able to benefit and compete.

Also will he favor those of his faith first. That is a fair question; and not meant to be in any form racist or whatever.

That sounds like a Texas hillbilly type of question. Are you a Texas hillbilly?

We are at full employment in the US; far beyond the average of the 90's and 80's. Stats are our friend.

When the US is no longer price competitive in a given industry, the jobs follow the money and most people switch careers. Some sit home and whine and demand free money. Those people are called democrats. Get rid of Unions and frivolous lawsuits,(institute loser pays rules), and those jobs will return to some extent.

*business resume*

If that is what it takes, lets go for the gold and have Donald Trump

All this nice if we wern’t attacked by the IslamOfascist
and will be at war for a long time.

Me, I want a candidate who has military, National Security, and foreign Policy experience.

If you think if the IslamOfaschist win, they will let you keep your 401Ks and stocks, guess again.

Can you name a president that favored members of his faith first? Didn’t think so....it is a not starter question.

If you can name one president in history who played favorites with his religion, I will answer your question.

Are you thinking that those of his faith will get a bigger economic stimulus package than others, or that businesses that are owned by those of his faith will get bigger cuts for capital equipment?

Please explain your thinking.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

A presidential candidate offering tax cuts and rebates. This is great! Bill Clinton only offered cuts, no rebates, and at that only to the middle class.

Does everyone remember what they actually got?

Another thing I’ve been looking for and have not seen yet is a promise to fix soshacurity.

Not now. Would have to do some research to see if I can answer.

On your FR page; you say your strength is one on one and verbal communication. I hardly think so. I think intimidation and humiliation is more like it.
