Only the rich will survive a Romney presidency. The middle class will become the serfs to those who have all the money.
What Middle Class? The middle class has been declining since the Reagan Era began 30 years ago. The Vulture Chart confirms this.
Only one little thing missing from that chart. Government deficit spending, it follows if not surpasses that vulture line like a hawk. That was why I couldn't vote for reagan a second time, he wouldn't stop spending money we didn't have.
The government takes the money from the middle class, and gives it to their friends. Both sides do it. The bailout proves it. It was all about the cash cow that funds washington, not saving the country, and that is why it failed.
Mitt Romney's the Anti Christ, humanity as a whole wouldn't survive.
Excellent!!!!!!!!!! Humanity would no doubt be in serious danger; the war-mongers would be in charge. However, I think the Anti-Christ would have more charisma than Romney!
Oh but Anna you assume that the anti Christ is a person like you and me, remember when the Mittster said "corporations are people too."
Do I have to explain here I am just kidding?
We will all be Edgar Friendly from Demolition Man if Mitt Robme gets to be President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch the movie this will be 99%'s fate and the Rich l
iving above ground and us living in the sewers
If Mitt wins and the GOP takes both houses it will be the END of the US government and the beginning of the 2nd Dark Ages.
That 7% are stupid.
Hell NO!
NO, NO, and NO. To get Mitt and Co. out of office, Eat your Wheaties on Election Day and RUN to the polls and VOTE. Hope all the Repubs eat turkey from the counter and get run right out of DC. Thank You Shameus. (probably not spelled correctly)
Ed, quite simple. Hell no. And for the very reasons you named at the top of your show from the vulture chart on down.
Hell No !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, I won't vote for either Romney or Obama. Romney is a old school liberal and Obama is a marxist liberal.
You want to know why we detest the Democrats and Obama?
Because I'm sick of the 100 years of incremental marxist socialism.
I want to see the repeal of the 16th amendment and end corporate and individual income taxes, and the Estate Tax. They violate the principles of liberty our nation was founded upon
I want to see end of the Depts of Education, Energy, Health & Human Services, Labor, OSHA, EPA, Transportation, phase out SS & Medicare, abolish the Federal Minimum Wage, abolish the FCC, FDA, FTC, NLRB, return student loan programs back to private lenders, end all Food Stamp programs, Federal welfare, Federal unemployment insurance payments, Obamacare, and a host of other unconstitutional programs. These are all unconstitutional programs that promote a socialist totalitarian state. We need to get rid of the Federal Reserve and take back control of our monetary system.
I want to see an America where people once again take responsibility for their lives instead of demanding that others pay for their needs and wants.
I want to see the end of unionism which is diametrically opposed to individual liberty.
I want to see the disease of liberalism obliterated from our land
Welcome to the Great Depression !
I suppose that's all the Indians wanted too, as well as the Africans who left their Country without a choice, but they had to learn the hard way, you can't always have what you want, even if you're right. This is America, built on the backs of many Nations, and races, and taught from birth to always look out for our fellow man. Get used to it, there has never been a time in our history, where everyone took care of themselves, without the hands of some one else. Ithink you might need to open up a history book.
Larry Robinson, you poor man. What happened to you to make you so full of hate? You need help. I hope you get it.
I have one suggestion for you, move out of the United States!
Wow, I sigh of enlightenment and sanity. Maybe there is hope for the nation. Just hope we don't have another bob barr shoved down out throats as a nominee.
I have no problem being a nation of many races. It is what makes us strong, it is the government dictating that some races are better than others that is killing us.
Keep an eye on repealing the 17th amendment also, if the states had a voice in the federal government a lot of the problems could be solved also. I could live with just allowing the state legislature being able to recall senators who vote against the states interest.
Well said Larry!!!
There is no doubt in my mind that we will go from "bad" to "worse" if Mitt wins in November.
mitt romney would ruin this country for the middle class, poor and college students needing grants and I could go on an on.
Not only no, but hell no
I'm an Independent. Youre right Ed... Obama has not even whiffed a breath for gun control.
I will be voting straight Party Democrat in the next election.
Not only is the middle class in jeopardy... our democracy is as well.
Kudos for finally asking for the independents support... The democrats have mine.
The Congress of NO, needs to be THROWN OUT. We pay their wages and this is what we get, NOT A DAMN THING.
Mary you are right about that. 127 days into 2012 and Congress, the House especially, has only been in session for 41 of those 127 days, while we're still paying them for all of it. And the Republicans have the nerve to harp about deficits and debt as well as try to take a dig at President Obama and the First Lady about vacations when they hardly get back here to their home in Chicago? Give me a break. Hell I'd love the kind of job where I collect a salary for being on vacation where you still get paid for being physically on the job only one third of the time.
What good is hanging around washington, until the senate does something with all those bills they passed there isn't anything left to do.
Please tell us what they need to get done that requires them to stay open?
At least if they go home, all the secondary spending gets closed down. You don't have to pay for limo rides to work if they aren't going.
Mitt doesn't have a clue on what to do as a President! There are some things that should be a no brainer, Mitt has shown America what his concerns will be if elected. He's not worried about the poor, because they have a safety net, while at the same time he endorses the Ryan budget, that will surely put so many holes in the safety net, every one will fall out and drown. How can any one even consider this Man when they go to the voter booth to elect the Highest Official n the World, is a mystery to me.
There will be a middle class albeit a much smaller one than now.
Where is the prosecution of those thieves? Obama promised a real investigation which has let to start.
Absolutely not!!! He will have what's left of America's jobs outsourced overseas to the lowest bidder. He wants American workers to be compensated and paid as if we were a third world nation. Eliminate minimum wages, no medical or dental benefits, elimination of workers rights, elimination of organized labor, elimination of corporate pension funds and zero taxes of corporations. This is Mitt Romney's future for American workers... America stand up and say no to Mitt Romney and the GOP hacks! Obama / Biden 2012.
Well, at least he doesn't use our tax money to hire koreans for green jobs like the current president.
Jobs go overseas to escape the "reasonable" regulations that are pooring out of washington at an alarming rate. The people don't even have a voice because the congress is letting it happen since they don't have to obey them, or go on record voting for them.
Start your own business and don't sell romney any stock, and you have nothing to worry about from bain. Should only take 9 months for a lemonaid stand in NYC to get all the government paperwork finished, then you can sell your first glass. Stossel gave up, so don't know the cost of all those regs, but so what you have a job now, just pay the state, you might even make enough money to get back what you paid them.
NY, CA, NJ, all have minimum wage laws, why are you against letting states decide? How is letting workers decide if they want a union eliminating anything. Unless the workers are being sold a bill of goods from the union.
I work in a union shop, I didn't join, had lots of derision for a while, but they now agree they do not want me in their union. I have no problem with them being in it, don't know what I would do in a strike, depends on what it is about I guess. I know either way, I am safe from violence because they all understand I will defend myself from attack, don't care who or where it comes from. They also know I will equally defend them from same.
we can't allow these sleeze balls to get anywhere near the white house-also we need to get back the house and hopefully the senate.as ed said-come on independents,use your heads and don't even think about voting for the clowns that got us into the mess that republicans got us into late 07!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
