Yes.
Romney knows that by pandering to the ultra-ultra-ultra-wealthy he will win the election.
They make up the majority of voters in swing states like Ohio, Indiana and New Mexico.

The spin keeps on spinning. Now, it's Obama saying Romney will raise taxes on the middle class to keep the tax breaks going for the super wealthy. Sounds fishy to me. Is Obama right, or is it true that Mitt Romney is planning to raise taxes on the middle class?
ABCNEWS.GO.COM reports:
ABCNEWS.GO.COM reports:
AKRON, Ohio – President Obama today pounced on a new report that found Mitt Romney’s economic plan would raise taxes on the majority of Americans and give tax breaks to the super wealthy, telling supporters in the battleground state of Ohio that his opponent wants them to pay more so that “people like him” can get a tax cut.

The private sector, mainly.
Now, what happens when they stop hiring because business dried up? Should we give more money to those that already have it while taking away from those that do not? That has never, ever worked. Ever. My last link, a very good book, explains the issues with this in detail. Our nation does VASTLY better when our disparity is less... instead of the now #1 disparity in the Western world, and half of this nation wanting to make it worse, as a fix. *sigh*
Respond to the points before going off on rhetorical rants, please.
Thank you!
That is socialism, in the wrong direction!
The largest corporations are the biggest freeloaders and I hear nothing but take from the small business owners.
That will destroy America, they already have to contend with one of the biggest tax increases on the middle class and small businesses, known as ObamaCare. Did my small business get the exemption like wal-mart and mcdonalds? Are you gonna help me pay?? For what? Most of all tax collected is paid to derivatives, or paying back china for our bombing.
This presidency has added 4 trillion to the debt in three years. That's for our children i guess.
That's a fallacy. Many, MANY people who make 250K a year are not business owners. The GOP is relentlessly beating the drum that they are, but that doesn't change facts...
And do you even read your own links? You claim that Obama is "The REAL OUT-SOURCER", yet the link you provide about an ad claiming Obama has outsourced tons of jobs states that:
"According to the ad, the stimulus included:
■ '$1.2 billion to a solar company that’s building a plant in Mexico.' Actually, the loans were to finance a solar ranch built and operated in California....
■'Half a billion to an electric car company that created hundreds of jobs in Finland.' Actually, the first round of government loans to Fisker Automotive went toward design, engineering, sales and marketing work done in the U.S....
■'And tens of millions of dollars to build traffic lights in China.' Actually, the traffic lights were assembled in the U.S...."

Give me a break...
Why don't I hear anything about the muli national conglomerates that walk away with BILLIONS? Maybe because they are pulling the strings?

Hmm, seems like a liberal attempt to twist the facts
How many of those individuals live in a HOUSEHOLD full of family where they are the only wage earners? How many homes have NO income due to the recession? Are you using median, or mean average?
*sigh*
Provide your source, please.
Lastly, 250k is still 5x larger. Anything else?
Average US Household has two wage earner. Yes you have single parent family and single worker families, but taxation of the $250K and above families will only hurt the economy.
Sorry!
They will be there just to keep the ''status quo''... In fact, no matter who wins, things will become worse and more expensive for the people, not for banks, huge corporations, nor wealthy!
It's all about money, the more the better, is the dark side of unbridled capitalism.
Have you heard of Gary Johnson?
t would be nice to check it out, about what he did for NM. Personally, I believe in people organized to watch over the politicians, I don't believe in them, the politicians.
Even when a citizen does not vote for anybody, one has the right to demand
the fulfilment of his promises while on campaign, and watch as the people's money is being applied, and put pressure on elected candidate. I may not have voted for who won the election, yet he will put his hand on my money ...
Any way, voting for a man with no chance, but who represents our desires, it is a best way. There's no only two chances, there are two big lions fighting for the power, but are a cat who is really our ''seems to be'' the most honest man. If you like him, try to convince your familly and friends vote for him. Vote for the candidates of ...

Forget about Democrats x Rep.
Good Luck!
Romney and Obama are only debating for power.
I just want the country to go in the right direction and most of the politicans, I feel aren't right for the country.
Only God knows who is going to win.
