You can not dismiss the bias in this article. Notice the reference to how wealthy Romney is. The journalists must all be going into panic.
I saw rhe ad on TV this morning.
Romney Campaign needs to use some of the campaign funds to keep punching harder and not let up! The more that people get the message that those that are still working are doing so to keep their families afloat.... and lazy asses as well, then we can stop this nonsense. I do not mean those that are truly seeking help for the short term either. I mean those that use EBT cards to purchase fun stuff and sleep late, while we work our butts off.
Reuters is pathetic.
Then we have the real porkers...
Effective ad aimed at independents. Short, sweet, and to the point.
Romney needs to get the true figures of how many previously ‘unemployed’ whose benefits ran out are now being put on Social Security Disability Income.
Then he needs to show the drain on SS funds because of such.
Romney also needs to show the drain on SS funds because of the 2% ‘reduction’ Obama signed off on a couple of years ago to ‘stimulate’ the economy.
IF there are 50 million people working & making only $10 per hour & working full time, the 2% reduction on Soc Sec taxes not being paid by each employee adds up quite auickly.
40 hours a week X $10 per hour X 52 weeks = $20400.00 annually.
50 million X $20,400.00 per year gross= $1 TRILLION, 20 BILLION in Gross wages. $1,020,000,000,000.00 !!!
That amount X 2% = $20 Billion, 400 million dollars NOT going into Soc Sec funds each year. $20,400,000,000.00 !!!
I fully realize that there are many more dollars being earned & subjected to FICA withholding, but I wanted to show the folly of this with simple numbers.
Meanwhile, Obama puts more and more ‘unemployed’ onto the SSDI rolls.
