The problem of the rich taking over the country is very real.The dems are trying to fight it. LMAO Rich republicans are bad, rich democrats and communists are good....... Yeah, we get it koan. Look on the bright side, maybe Putin will invade Alaska and you'll get the utopia you want.

You seem a very smart person, but you did not read that sentence correctly. There is a difference between not wanting to fight them and getting in bed with them. Don't you think? We're all smart people. But you are speaking in support of a person who has moved us away from the Rule of Law at an alarming pace, mostly out of his own ignorance but also out of arrogance. Romney, like me and most people who understand basic economics, understands that economic growth makes money for investors but also raises the standards of living of ordinary people. You pride yourself on being educated and well-informed. 30 years ago, the greatest economist to live since Adam Smith (Milton Friedman) was interviewed by someone who stood politically about where I'd say you do, Phil Donahue. I'm realistic. I know from having read your past posts that you never, ever change your mind about anything. You are an extremist liberal and will be until the country swirls down the drain with you. But I would urge you take the 45 minutes to watch this interview in its totality. And as an exercise, pick two topics from the video and try to counter Friedman's position (as a hint, you may want to watch how Friedman rolled over Donahue, so you can see the approaches to avoid). Seriously, this video says more about what's wrong with your point of view than any other resource I know of. youtube.com
