I'll tell you what's insulting. Romney & Ryan going in front of the American People, insulting our intelligence and lying just to get elected, so they can push their own agenda when they get into office.
When you listened to the debate, they pretend to protect the poor and middle class when actually they just want to protect the wealthy. Trying to convice the people if the 1% do well, then everyone will do well. Really? It hasn't worked yet.
It's okay for people like Romney, to get more of a tax break. Romney and so many 1% are NOT job creators, they just have their money stashed away in investments. How is that supposed to help our country?
How does that help the poor & middle class? And what does the wealthy Bosses say to their employees? "If Obama makes me pay higher taxes, you may not have a job". Greedy people who want all the wealth to be concentrated only to the top and using threat tactics to scare people.
The wealthy complain about Obama wanting to redistribute the wealth. It was okay, when the top tax rates were in the 90%'s over 50 years ago and have been going down ever since to the lowest number ever. These all time low tax rates were only supposed to be temporary, but instead of them being temporary, the wealthy are not only fighting to keep them, but they want to reduce them even more!! And if Obama disagrees with them, it is called Class Warfare, Redistribution or even Communism. Nobody is saying to increase the top rate back to where it once was, just to bring the rates back to the Clinton Years!
Romney also wants to do away with the estate tax. There is already a $5 Million Tax Exemption before you have to pay any estate taxes. Again, it's all about protecting the wealth of a few. The wealthy have been protected more now than ever and the wealthy have more wealth now more than ever!
