20 Babies Murdered Not enough to get Sen. Marco Rubio Support!

Senator Marco Rubio please stand up for something!

Politicians without courage, A thoughtful Senator Marco Rubio join the throng of Politicians who believe loyalty to the NRA is more important than protection of our children. Not even the murder of 20 babies in Connecticut can shake the hold the NRA have on Sen. Marco Rubio. If one of these children were Sen. Marco Rubio's child, would that make a difference? that the standard set by certain Senators on progressive issues, if you are gay it is immoral and against the conscience of the political right unless that child is Sen. Rob Portman's son.Once on the short-list to be Mitt Romney's 2012 running mate, Republican Sen. Rob Portman reversed his opposition to gay marriage while revealing that his own son is gay.

Marco Rubio filibuster gun control legislation.

Is the Republican and some Democratic opposition to Gun Control a matter of Principle, protecting a right under Second amendment or lack of courage and will to protect the American people?.Since the murder of 20 Babies  and 6 adults in Connecticut there have been over 3000 other murders by gun in the United States +355 in California alone.

Gun deaths by homicide, suicide or accident peaked at 37,666 in 1993 before declining to a low of 28,393 in 2000, the data show. Since then the total has risen to 31,328 in 2010, an increase of 2,935, or eight more victims a day. The FBI estimates that there are over 200 million privately-owned firearms in the US. If you add those owned by the military, law enforcement agencies and museums, there is probably about 1 gun per person in the country.

 If you want to get a rough idea of how many guns there are out there just look at how many people you see out there then multiply by a factor of estimated ownership. The last best guess was about 350,000,000 Total. That would be 1 weapon for every man woman and child. The average gun enthusiast owns several firearms which includes pistols, shotguns, and rifles of all makes and models. It is often estimated that about 1 in 4 people own any firearms and on average firearms owners own 4 guns each.

Fairness in Taxes

Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running Mate in the upcoming Presidential Elections. There are visible similarities, the most obvious is both are men, white, and each have beautiful families which until 2008 when Senator John McCain chose 1/2 term Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate temporarily changed the mentality of the Republican Party.

"I want to be your President but my Taxes is none of your Business'!

For Months Republicans and Democrats have encouraged Mitt Romney to release multiple years of his Income Tax Returns to allay concerns he may be hiding something with earning upwards of $20 Million annually but consistently pays less percentage on this income than the average American who earns $33 Thousand Dollars per year.

Mitt Romney from all account is a wealthy man and may be generous, he claim to donate 10% of his income to charity, without disclosure of his Tax returns the assumption is that the majority of those charitable contributions go to the Mormon Church. From the little disclosure so far the American people learn Mitt Romney pays 13% on his $21 million dollar income in 2010, the average American Pays between 28-38% on incomes from $33 Thousand to $600 Thousand Dollars. Most people under the $33 thousand income level today depending on their deductions could pay no Taxes due to several temporary tax cuts since 2009.

Have more Money pay less Taxes

To re-enforce the Income Tax disparity conversation Paul Ryan this week released his 2 complete years 2010 and 2011 income tax returns. We learn in 2010 on an income of $215 thousand dollars the Ryan's paid 16% Taxes and in 2011 on an income of $323 dollars taxes were assessed at 20%, the Ryan's paid more Taxes on less income than his Presidential Candidate who earned more income in one day than the Ryan's did in a year.Ryan's income of $538 thousand dollars in the last two years is Paltry compared to the $42 million Mitt Romney reportedly earn in the last two years.

"President Obama as part of his economic plan would raise Taxes whatever Americans earn over 1 Million Dollars per year. These income earners would pay the same taxes and enjoy the same benefits as everyone else up to that  million dollar and then the Taxes would be imposed".

Mitt Romney as part of his Economic plan would cut Taxes for all Americans by a further 20% that means Mitt Romney would pay even less on his $20 million income from early estimates this would bring Romney's Tax Bill to from estimates 0-2 1/2% Taxes and his running mate Paul Ryan Tax Bill to about 15% a not so bad deal.

"There is one fundamental problem with the Mitt Romney Tax reduction plan, the American Economy cannot afford another 20% Tax Cut including the richest Americans at this time if we did this the deficit would explode". 

Recently we found out that Americans and American Company's are paying less Taxes than any time in our history regardless of what the Politics insist. Secondly American and International Conglomerates who invest in America have more money ( cash in the bank) than any time in history.
