Only if you believe the cooked polls commissioned by the state-controlled media branch of the DNC.

Even Rasmussen says it's tight. Are you intentionally both so obnoxious and obtuse?

Romney may win despite himself, but it won't be because people want him to be President. Most believe, as I do, that he'll take care of his corporate cronies at the expense of true free-enterprise. This is exactly what Arnold did in California, for which Bush and Rove were largely responsible. They paid off the very folks who play both sides of the aisle, in fact, the big winners under Arnold play mostly to the left (Berkshire Hathaway investments).

Worse, in the process of taking over the Party apparatus, what you get is RINO apparatchiks. Once Rove set Gerry Parsky in place in California, conservative nominees in statewide elections never saw another dime of Party money. So if you think the GOP-e is bad now, you ain't seen nothin' yet. It's what RINOs do.

RINOs are horribly destructive to the cause of conservatism because the people, rightly, see them as corporate crooks. What they don't see is that the left is even worse in that regard because those corporations own the media. Somehow, in their need for both party and corporate money, conservative candidates never seem to make that case.

Since Wed night, there are 2 NEW ads about Romney’s tax cuts & they are beating the same old drum with the same old lies.

One ad actually starts with a clip from Wed night of Romney saying he isn’t putting out a huge tax cut. That is followed by a clip of Greenspan’s wife —Andrea Mitchell—saying how nothing Romney says is mathematically correct. Between numbers swirling around Obamacare & the unemployment numbers, how can I think that ANYONE in the Obama administration can do math? Even his Treasury Secretary could not prepare HIS own taxes correctly!!!!

BUT—OBAMA’s campaign is spend money running this ad and another one like popcorn popping in the hot skillet.

On Friday night on KOLO, ABC affiliate in Reno, that one ad ran 3 times between 5 PM and 5:49 PM.

I think every member of Obama’s campaign is a crazy person- they continue to tell lies on the one hand & then squirm until forced to say it is a lie on the other. But they keep running the ads.

Meanwhile, the media gets paid millions of dollars to let these ads bloom like red algae. They are poisonous.

Cutter: "One plus one is four hundred.”

Host: “No. It's not. See, here's a pencil. Add one more: that's two.”

Cutter: “Okay, stipulated; one plus one is two. But, one plus one is four hundred.”

I don't really understand who you think has a chance to defeat Obama at this point, other than Milt?

Seems to me you're the hand-waver here.

By population, yes, by money, no, and it seriously depends upon how one defines "wealthy." Four of the top ten are Waltons. Packard, Pew, Jones, Rockefeller, MacArthur... the big foundations that exert the most political influence almost all represent inherited wealth.
The folks who build the companies that hire the people - they are the folks I am talking about. 90+ percent are self made. BTW, the Walton family was just plain old middle class working stiffs before Sam came along. You appear to begrudge his children and grandchildren the fruits of his labor, or am I misunderstanding your attempt to make a point?

I think there are a good many rich people who inherited money and invested overseas. That doesn't create a single American job. So let's quit with the fantasy that all we need to do to create jobs is cut taxes, because it just doesn't sell, as is confirmed by the polls. The leverage in decreasing regulations is far greater in terms of both net revenue and GDP.

The US does not tax wealth -it taxes income. As such when money is inherited it is with few exceptions already taxed once -are you suggesting it be taxed more or that wealth be redistributed if inherited?

I would suggest that reducing taxes is always good.

The death tax does tax wealth. It hits small business and landowners, not the wealthy, and is thus ultimately regressive.

Given your knowledge of our current tax structure, I'll give your opinion all the consideration it is due.

You seem to have an issue with the "wealthy" as you intentionally differentiate them from others -that is what drew me to your comments that premise a LEFTIST class warfare meme. You can not have class warfare without at first dividing up into classes.

REGRESSIVE -you no like? translates into PROGRESSIVE -you like?

Again there is no wealth tax -ONLY if one takes an inheritance as income is it taxed. AND as I stated -I would suggest that reducing taxes is always good.

Given your knowledge of our current tax structure, I'll give your opinion all the consideration it is due.

Given your objections and your arguments it appears you think income taxes are good, they should be progressive; and the wealthy should pay more. You promote leftist redistribution probably without realizing you do -you sure as hell argue for it.

What part of equality under the rule law do you not get and why do you dislike the "wealthy"?

Another idiot incapable of seeing outside the Hegelian dialectic to which he has been conditioned. You said there were no wealth taxes. I not only showed you one, and a biggie, but a wealth tax that hits conservatives disproportionately, allowing the super-rich leftists (fascists actually, you know, the people who sponsor the regulations squeezing landowners and small business people... those guys, but I digress) allowing the super-rich leftists to clean up for pennies on the dollar (which they always do after a collapse they've engineered). Simply because they have money, you come running to the rescue, blathering the usual class warfare crap. I'm talking legal inequities that are structured by wealth level. They are regressive. You don't get it.

So the rest of your drivel is equally senseless. It is neither politically nor economically sound, but scads of metrics. Unless you shape up, I'm done with your stupidity.

An idiot huh?

Actually it is YOU that don't get it. You want your big government king and argue for him against their big government king. I say tear down the castle e.g. cut up the credit card.

Balancing a budget does nothing to limit government --tyranny is tyranny no matter the why.or the fair and or balanced approach to finance it...
