>>"Romney said the top people would not pay less as a group!" oh, well i guess that's all we need to know, if Romney said it surely he's not fibbing, just trust him... LMAO! >>"Now almost half of wage earners pay no taxes" oh yes we know, that dreaded 47% of moochers like retired people who worked their entire lives now pay no fed income taxes in retirement... you repeat Romney's lie when you say these people pay "no taxes"... there are all kinds of taxes... do you think people who work for minimum wage and live in poverty should pay more taxes???? ... while billionaires on wall st pay 15% or less??? wtf??? >>"I would cut our military spending in half - so stop suggesting I agree with this part of Romneys plan" okay but we cannot ignore that part of Romney's fuzzy math... it has to be part of the equation whether you agree with him or not... that's his plan as for Medicare it is definitely a problem... SS is not really a big deal, it is well funded for now... as for Medicare that's why we need health reform and a single payer or public option was a better alternative to what we got with the watered down obamacare,, but that is of course the fault of RepubliCon obstructionists... if Obamacare is repealed it will add to the deficit

I would cut our military spending in half - so stop suggesting I agree with this part of Romneys plan. I've said this a hundred times - I shouldn't have to keep saying it. Nope You should be running Unfortunately you cannot square your nonsense assertion that there is enough in primarily middle class deductions to not add to the deficit Sorry, you don't get to mix in your views on military spending to make the painted balloons case Now just where is that 8 trillion going to come from?

this is really a big lie you are repeating "Now almost half of wage earners pay no taxes" you have actually taken the lie to a new level the original lie was that half of Americans pay no taxes,, which is a lie the truth is 47% of Americans pay no "Federal" income taxes because they are either retired, unemployed, students, military personnel, or are employed but don't make enough to qualify for Fed taxes but you have taken the lie to a whole new level, when you even conclude "half of wage earners pay NO taxes" congratulations... no wonder Romney and Karl Rove can work their magic beans on the American public
