In Response to Re: When Mitt Romney Came to town. : I prefer pure history as opposed to propaganda and speculation. I do not fall prey to the Republican paranoia that Rush Limbaugh spews everyday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4dwx0PNZWY I left the party in 2007. Not a conservative party anymore. I have no plans to vote Democrat either. Really no difference between these two parties. I would never consider Romney, simply because he doesn't know where he stands on anything, from one day to the next. 6 individual agencies have analyzed his budget. All have found it doesn't add up, and/or increases to middle class taxes is the only way to make it work any where near the way he thinks it will. His healthcare "voucher" system is a sure increase in cost to us all. The Ryan plan means MAJOR changes to Medicare.  It would eliminate the Medicare guarantee and turn it into a voucher program.  Studies have shown the Ryan plan would cost anyone under 55 years of age an additional $6,000 a year with a slow increase to $12,000 extra out of pocket in later years, and it moves eligibility for seniors to get Medicare from 65 to 67. Of course, he hasn't got a plan to get 20 million people back to work, to rob them of the $6000. ".....because the Ryan plan will literally lead to people dying" http://tinyurl.com/95egjd9 Romney Logic: Increase the cost, delay giving the benefits. That way, some will die before the government has to give you back any of YOUR money you already paid to Medicare. Along with the Republicans plan to move the retirement age to 69, so many will die before ever getting any of the SSI money YOU paid in. But that's OK. Because while adding additional cost to health care, and working people till they die on the job, you get to pay the taxes for the rich, once Romney lets them off the hook. Ann Romney claimed during an ABC News interview Wednesday morning that "we've given all ' you people ' need to know" about the Romney family finances, sparking a social backlash (and U.S. trending topic) on Twitter. Needless to say, using " you people " is pretty much never a good look -- at the very least, it comes across as patronizing and condescending. http://mashable.com/2012/07/19/ann-romney-you-people/ Ann Romney has a " I'm better than you " attitude. Romney.... NOT THE ANSWER.

In Response to Re: When Mitt Romney Came to town. : I don't get what you are so angry about  .....the idea that Obama is destroying America cause he believes everyone should have affordable healthcare ...that  he wants to tax (himself) and the billionaires a little more so  the money can be used for education and healthcare for seniors ?   Republicans like to say "Obama wants to RADICALLY change the United States." Let's examine who REALLY wants to RADICALLY change the United States. Social Security has allowed the elderly to retire with dignity since 1935. Medicare has provided health care for EVERYONE 65 and older since 1964. Women have had the right to choose to carry a pregnancy to tern OR NOT since 1973. Black people have had the right to vote since 1964. Republicans want to turn social security completely over to Wall Street. Republicans want to give total control of health care for EVERYONE to private insurance companies. Republicans want to overthrow Roe v. Wade. Republicans DURING THE PAST YEAR have passed laws to suppress voting for blacks, students and the elderly in EVERY state where they control the legislature.

In response to "When Mitt Romney Came to town.": The video highlights a decaying town, Marrianna Florida. Like many the town was about to experience a revitilization over time and the reduced demand for Laundromats was eminent due to the reduced interest by communities to have Apartments in their town due to their high crime and drug association. Hence the reduced demand on the appliance being manufactured. Our future condition can be determined only by considering any changes that apply to our current condition. And these changes occur with the passage of time. So marginalizing markets in changing times in most cases as they will have an adverse effect on many citizens they will ultimately have a very positive effect on their peers. One may argue the security the employees had and human nature will dictate they are grasping on to the general assumption the company which has employed them for many years will be there for all the generation of their family members and never ever go away is ludicrous. It's human nature to avoid change. But change is good! Healthy in most cases. The seasons change, children change, your Presindent even ran on change. So if Bain Capitol rescued a future failing company and employees lost their jobs the fact that their jobs were in jeopardy anyway. So don't blaim Bain. They should look at the potential for obsolescence in their company's business model.
