You are correct Playbilly!
Punished? How about paying your fair share? Why do people who make more money feel people who do not should pay more taxes then them?
Do you really think I need fox news to prove a point? Here's a clip from Jimmy Kimmel on ABC, not a conservative network by any means, interviewing people before the debate asking them who won, everyone said obama, not one person said Romney won. These people blindly support obama and have no idea what is going on.

They pay more than there fair share! They pay 60% of all income taxes to support the people who don't pay any! Isn't that enough?!
Here's another example of a brainless liberal on MSNBC of all places saying LAST WEEK that the Benghazi attacks were because of the video, after everyone finally admitted it was a terrorist attack
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2012/10/22/chris-matthews-romney-supporter-benghazi-was-all-youtube-video-read-ne
Here's what it boils down to, in very loose terms.
If I make 100 a year and pay 15%, then I only pay $15 in taxes.
If I make 100,000,000 a year and pay 15%, then I should be paying $15,000,000. But because of tax cuts and loop holes, I'm not.
You're probably right that they pay 60% of their income tax, but what about investments, capital gains tax, etc, which is where they get most of their money from? Shouldn't that be taxed at the same rate, since the money is still going in their pockets?
Abby, B fing s! Romney paid 14% on his income, (what some 200 mil plus?) at least on the one year he actually fully released. I , on good watershed yeat paid 35% 0n $200,000. What freaking math are you using? How the F#CK do you justify that?
There were protests at consulates and embassies because of that tape, on the strength from word of mouth (even newscasts didn't show it over there, they just talked about it). It was used as cover for the Benghazi attack BY THE TERRORISTS and it undeniably caused tensions elsewhere.
The one comment I find hysterically apt, is the person who says that the USA has become the laughing stock of the world. They haven't (if anything Obama has helped them not), but comments like those might, unfortunately, make them become so.
Yes there were protests, but that wasn't the cause of the attack at all, and I can't believe you seriously believe that. The attack lasted 7 hours and they had plenty of time to send in back up troops to save the ambassador and the soldiers guarding it, and there is evidence coming out about what really happened, but I doubt any of you will believe it.
And snafu you are wrong about the 13%, he paid 30% or more according to Forbes. Get your facts straight and don't just believe everything MSNBC and CNN tell you.

I said it was cover. It was a distraction for people working in the consulate and on the ground.
Since the attack was so important to you, AbbyNormal, was Romney's whole press conference on the attack appropriate or presidential with that ****-eating grin on his face? The ambassador was not even reported dead at that point but since you pointed out the attack went on at that length, would you want that kind of attitude when such a situation happened in a hypothetical Romney situation?
What is your view on foreign policy anyway? Don't you think the defense budget can lead to some of the most wasteful spending in this country? Are you a hawk or a deficit hawk? You cannot really be both. Are you into nation-building or letting countries take care of themselves? Do you even believe in the UN or NATO or find both hopelessly outdated? Is there anything in Romney's foreign policy platform that makes him an attractive candidate? By the way, what is the Romney foreign policy platform?

Anyone else find it funny that Abby said people were "blindly" supporting Obama when everyone in the video said Obama won the debate?
Abby...you're an idiot. Obama won the last two debates. Everyone knows it. Romney walked out looking like the coward he is.
Answer these questions for me Abby.
1) Why is it that Romney cannot keep his stance on policies for more then a few weeks? How can we trust someone who flip flops on a regular basis to run our country?
2) Explain to me how his we can let a man with this ethic's run our country. How can you deny some of the shady crap he has pulled off?
3) Why is it unfair for people who make A LOT of money each year to pay their fair share of taxes?
I would ask more but I doubt you will even answer this post 'cuz like the rest of you mindless Romney supporters, you will run away when faced with questions you can't answer.
I'm an idiot? If you actually watched the video these interviews took place FOUR HOURS BEFORE THE DEBATE STARTED! So if anyone is an idiot it's you, it wasn't the Romney supporters who were prematurely saying their candidate won, it was the Obama supporters. I don't care who they said won the debate, but saying obama won before the debate actually took place doesn't exactly make them look like the brightest people around.
I do apologize for that. I didn't read the full post. I was under the assumption that it was filmed afterwards. But I don't change my views on the rest. Would you mind answering those few questions I posted? Because I have asked several people I know who are avid Romney followers and each and everyone of them failed to answer them. One actually told me "it's liberals like you that are making the election process harder."
I failed to see his logic.
again, people, bailey d. is in the 9th grade. dontcha just love know it all 15 yr. olds?
First of all, every politician flip flops, including your precious obama, I would be shocked. And Romney isn't nearly as shady as obama. I'm not sure if you're aware, but both barack and michelle both lost their law licenses, or surrendered it to avoid charges on ethics violations. Do you consider that shady at all? Or because it's obama do you look past that?
And I've already answered the question of paying their fair share, they already do pay their fair share, isn't 60% of all taxes enough? Do you want them to pay them all so people who don't make as much don't have you pay any?
Once again Abby you fail to do any actual research.
The whole "Law licence" incident was proven false. Its a internet rumor that is being spread around. They made it inactive which means they don't have to pay hundreds of dollars in annual fee's, but they can in fact practice law any time they wish too. Do some ACTUAL research instead of repeating crap you hear from your parents and Faux News.
Secondly, your saying that since ALL politicians "flip flop" we should excuse Romney of doing so?
You're kidding me right? You know how stupid that sounds?
First off, hardly ALL politicians flip flop. Their are a lot that do, but not all. And if you go back in time, you will see Obama actually still stands on the same ground on many issues as he did years ago. So nice try, but once again your argument holds very little logic.
And lastly, no. That is not a "fair share". When a teacher has to pay more out of their salary for taxes then a billionaire, then yea, there's something wrong.
Abby,
Are you even old enough to vote?
For the Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards.
Actually I'm pretty sure it's fingerlakes who isn't old enough to vote. He isn't even old enough to know how to spell license, if you can't spell basic words I don't think you should be allowed in the voting poll. And yet he thinks he knows everything about politics. And Obama surrendered his law license to keep from being charged for lying on his bar application, Michelle surrendered hers after a Federal Judge gave her the choice between surrendering her license or standing trial for Insurance fraud. You can choose to believe it or not, that is on multiple websites I checked, not one of those sites being Fox News.
And Romney hasn't flipped flopped nearly as much as Obama has, there's a whole thread on here about obama's flip flops, but you ignore it and instead choose to bash people with different views than you and call them trolls.

Methinks Abby doesn't know license can be spelled license or licence.
Phyillis is your only purpose on this board to correct peoples grammar whose political views don't agree with yours? I think, at least on this thread, you are the definition of a troll. No one will agree with me, but you never correct other users grammar if they are on the same side you are politically, but whenever I make a mistake you're all over it. Why is that? I guarantee everyone else doesn't have perfect grammar. But you ignore that, just as you choose to ignore obama's mistakes.

Do you really want to vote for a president who doesn't know how to pronounce Corpsman? And a president who can't make a decent speech without a teleprompter? That's why he did so bad in the first debate, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT!
Hey, BAILEY ("Hockeygurl12345" - on your public BWW Profile until the other day when you decided to "revise" it)..too late.. we already googled you.
Just like Romney, you're a big, fat, know nothing LIAR. I have no problem discussing politics w/a 15 yr old, IF they ADMIT they're in HS). Not only are you a liar, but at 15, 16, you have zero life experience. Yes, we were all teens at one time, but I'm guessing none of us were as pompous and entitled as you appear to be. Sometimes you just have to shut up and learn something from other people instead of parroting FOX NEWS hate propaganda.
I would post your FACEBOOK, but I don't want to totally humiliate you. BTW , Feel free to Google me, I have nothing to hide.
.G'day!

I wasn't correcting your grammar. I was correcting your incorrect assertion that fingerlakessinger couldn't spell, which you brought on yourself.
That video is cool. Remember how George W Bush used to say "nukular"? Drove me crazy!
Guess what?! Bush isn't president anymore! Obama is! Why do you ignore his failures and only look at his successes? Which are very limited in number.
Obama doesn't work with republicans to make things happen like past presidents have. An example being Bill Clinton, he worked with the other side which is why he had successful presidency when it came to unemployment rates. Obama hasn't done that which is part of the reason things are still as bad as they are.
