CEOs Join's the President on Tax Increases.

"With their votes, the American people determined that governing will now be a shared responsibility between parties," 


          Obama Calls for Revenue-Neutral Corporate Tax Reform


The CEO's, in a statement to be released on Thursday, say any fiscal plan "that can succeed both financially and politically" has to limit the growth of health-care spending, make Social Security solvent and "include comprehensive and pro-growth tax reform, which broadens the base, lowers rates, raises revenues and reduces the deficit." 


The CEO's who signed the 
manifesto deem tax increases inevitable no matter which party succeeds at the polls in November. "There is no possible way; you can do the arithmetic a million different ways" to avoid raising taxes, said Mark Bertolini, CEO of Aetna. "You can't tax your way to fix this problem, and you can't cut entitlements enough to fix this problem."
 
"With their votes, the American people determined that governing will now be a shared responsibility between parties," Obama said, referring to the 2010 midterm elections. "New laws will only pass with support from Democrats and Republicans. We will move forward together, or not at all -- for the challenges we face are bigger than party, and bigger than politics."

Mitt Romney, "Big Business Doing Fine"!

Romney, Big Business doing fine!
This is not a Gaffe, Mitt Romney telling supporters, "Big Business are doing fine" every American knows this, most of us work for these Big Businesses and as Public Companies we see the profits every Month.

The other reality is we also see how those Profits are gained on the backs of the workers most of them part Time employees working 16-24 hours per week without benefits including vacation, sick leave and any of the other relief earned by these employees year after year. Health care relief that is at hand comes from the Affordable Care Act that President Obama singed into Law and takes effect in 2014. 

"Mitt Romney has vowed to Repeal the affordable Care Act but, Mitt Romney will not repeal the health care Bill. The idea if the Affordable Care Act is the vision of Mitt Romney having signed a similar Law as Governor of Massachusetts giving 98% of its residents health Care".      

In his first effort to tack back to the center Mitt Romney has admitted what most Republicans know but would try to hide from the American People saying recently:-


"I'm going to champion small business. We've got to make it easier for small businesses. Big business is doing fine in many places -– they get the loans they need, they can deal with all the regulation. They know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in the places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses. But small business is getting crushed". These are Mitt Romney's words throwing out the core idea of his campaign against the current President.

Mitt Romney admitting that Big business have gotten the loans they need and can deal with the regulations was at the core of Mitt Romney's reason for Running for President. Having now agreeing with President Obama that, Big Business the Private Sector are fine, they have the money, they are capable of dealing with the regulations then the Mitt Romney run for President is now an empty campaign.

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.

Free Stuff Mr Romney?

Depraved indifference is references is reserved for Minority audiences Newt Gingrich used those references  during his failed bid for the Republican Nomination for Presidency his most famous, "Barack Obama is the Food stamp President". When Newt Gingrich made these references Newt Gingrich knew there were more whites on Food Stamp than there were Blacks or Hispanics but he continued to make the point labelling minority including Black Folks dependent on food stamps.

Tell the truth what's in your Heart!


As Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney did not see ant Free Stuff  he would (providing Mr Romney thought at that time Federal Aid was free) what is evident Mitt Romney embraced all that was sent to his State as Pork Barrel Projects and even vigorously pushed for more Federal Funds.

One should not decry Mitt Romney for doing all he could to search for every Federal Aid of Federal Program to benefit his State. Mr Romney's State was his Family and it was his responsibility to fend for the citizens of the commonwealth of Massachusetts and he did that well. Mr Romney did not consider the Money through these Various programs Free Stuff and they were not free. Mitt Romney would argue the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sends Tax Dollars to Washington and these programs and Aid is a repatriation of those Tax Dollars.

Mitt Romney boast one of his proud achievement success of the winter Olympics where Mitt Romney lobbied the Federal Government and received $1.3 Billion dollars to help him succeed in bringing the Olympics to some semblance of success. Those $1.3 Billion Dollars was never considered Free Stuff while Mitt Romney was able to dole out those not free stuff to his friends in contracts.

Mitt Romney's rivals in the 2012 Primary has assailed his hypocrisy on his love for Free stuff,   GOP rival Rick Santorum also accused Romney Saturday of "hypocrisy" for raising the issue of earmarks given his record at the Olympics. The Romney campaign responded that Santorum was "shooting himself in the foot" over the issue. 
In recent weeks, Romney has portrayed himself as an uncompromising fiscal conservative and criticized Santorum for being a “strong defender” of federal earmarks. “Look, I’m in favor of a ban on earmarks,” Romney said during a recent interview on Sean Hannity’s television show. “I think spending in Washington is out of control.” Earmarks "Free Stuff" is what helped Mitt Romney to put a successful face on the Salt Lake City Olympics
In turning around the 2002 games, Romney got a big helping hand from U.S. taxpayers

Free Stuff. The federal government poured $1.5 billion into the Salt Lake games – more than twice the amount spent on any previous U.S. Olympics.
 Republican Sen. John McCain called it a “fleecing” of the U.S. Treasury. Mitt Romney did not see this as Free Stuff.
“The Olympic Games supposedly hosted and funded by Salt Lake City, which began in corruption and bribery, has now turned into is an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs.” McCain said in a Sept. 19, 2000, speech on the Senate floor. Senator John McCain is a current reluctant supporter of Mitt Romney for President.

Dark Rooms

This is what happens in Dark Rooms by administrators, corporate heads and Boards designed to protect the public interest but today are appointed by the people whose interest the public should be protected from therefore the public interest is sold, bartered and compromised. 


What happen in Dark Rooms sometimes come to light
The Rape of Boys by at Penn State and subsequent cover up was conducted in Dark Rooms on the Campus of Penn State by the University Board of Trustees and Heads of Faculty. With knowledge of the various sexual assault on Boys by Jerry Sandusky from testimony during the investigation by the District attorney, the subsequent trial and now the Freeh report is more damming than expected,saying in part, “The most saddening finding by the Special Investigative Counsel is the total and consistent disregard by the most senior leaders at Penn State for the safety and welfare of Sandusky’s child victims.”

This is what happens in Dark Rooms by administrators, corporate heads and Boards designed to protect the public interest but today are appointed by the people whose interest the public should be protected from therefore the public interest is sold, bartered and compromised. 

 The matters best discussed and decisions taken are based on the Sandusky inquiry and subsequent conviction are those of Public interest. Mr Mitt Romney refuse to tell the American people weather or not his investment in Foreign countries of Cayman Islands, Bermuda or European Country of Switzerland met US Tax Laws obligations. Mr Mitt Romney continue to hide those matters in Dark Rooms from Bermuda to Switzerland refusing to level with the citizens of the United States he aspire to lead as their President.

Mr Mitt Romney continue to hide the details of his eventual Economic Policy in Dark Rooms intending to surprise the Nation with its details sometime after his success in the general Elections this November. Having seen the result of hiding and making decisions in the Dark Rooms of Penn State University in the Sandusky case Americans should be skeptical and demand to know what Mitt Romney intend to do if he were to be successful in the November Elections.

Mrs Ann Romney never walked in the ordinary American shoe.

Life Choices
When Mrs Ann Romney decided to become a stay at home Mom, that's the choice she made hopefully with the blessings of her husband Mitt Romney. Most women does not get the opportunity to make those choices in life as  Ann Romney do. She married the love of her life who was potentially rich even if he had inherited his Fathers fortune. Most ordinary American women does not drive a few Cadillac's have houses in various States with elevator Garages or off shore  bank accounts in France and the Cayman Islands. Mrs Ann Romney has never walked in the ordinary American Mothers Shoe.

Mitt Romney claim he did not inherit any of his Fathers wealth, neither did Mr Mitt Romney Graduate from college with not $20. $30. $40 thousand dollars in college Loans. From his speeches along the Primary Election trail I understand Mitt Romney is no ordinary American citizen, Romney was born in Wealth was enabled the best Education while living in luxury. There was no question Ann Romney would not have to work even at the outset of their lives. Through hard work, his good education, and more good luck than bad, Mitt Romney was able to create wealth that Ann Romney would not have to work for a living for the rest of her life Ann Romney knew this when she made her wedding vow.

I do not think most Americans begrudge Mitt and Ann Romney's great success, an almost perfect well balanced family. The Romney's Children inheriting $100 Million dollars from their Father that  the Romney Boys did not even have to pay transfer Taxes on and the interest on any investment is Carried so these gifts From their Father Mitt Romney may never attract Taxes.

The other 99% of Americans does not enjoy the benefits of the 1% like Mitt and Ann Romney and their sons. For the rest of the 99% we are not able to gift our children or Grand Children upward of $10 thousand dollars without attracting taxes and penalties even if we were helping our children to purchase a home or helping them in college.

Choices make us

The conversation is not weather Ann Romney made the choice to be a stay at home Mother! that choice is, does Ann Romney through her various difficult illnesses, affording the best medical care, did not have to feel pain if she didn't want, can she understand the life of  the ordinary woman. Mrs Romney did not have to count the days to end maternity leave or return to work  before she was well enough after each child because her Job did not give Maternity leave to keeping food on her family's table those are real choices! Choosing to become a stay at home Parent is Luxury any woman or recently man choose to stay at home and rear their Kids and wait on their spouses reality 99% of us cannot afforestation those Luxuries and it is Luxury.

It is Mrs Romney's right to speak about her husbands character but while doing so she must also imagine what life is like for those women without planned Parenthood, those women who still want to enjoy the pleasures of sex and love making but cannot afford contraception life's necessities her husband Mitt Romney Says he would deny women who need them or Mitt Romney's support for all the Vaginal Probe Bills . Mrs Ann Romney would not understand the plight of those women who does not have a few Cadillac's but have to take the bus to the Train layered in clothing winter to get to work, or maybe she does, her Maids may have had to take the Bus at some point or her Maid's drive Cadillac's too.
Ann Romney was not an ordinary stay at home Mom she married into a lifestyle one that she has lived for all those years to tell us that's a choice is so Phony. Ann Romney married into the life she knew exactly what it would be like, to tell the American people otherwise is dis-ingenious.

Target Great Place to Shop

Chaos after close, no Team Members 
Target Stores is a great Place to shop prices are some of the best in retail the team members are well trained and for the most part fun and helpful.Target Team members work extremely hard but are worst paid in Retail.Not only they are paid the worst hourly rate some of these Target Team Members get only 4-12 hours weekly hours.

Team members have to rely on Taxpayers through the unemployment system to compliment their income. This is one of the hidden Corporate welfare that Company's like Target Corporation benefit from. These Target Team Members also have to depend on the various BENEFITS through the Department of Social Services like medical and Food Stamp compliment their living standards.

If Target Stores and Target Corporation increase these Team Member hourly income to a Living wage they would be able to relieve themselves of the Public BENEFITS PAY THEIR MEDICAL AND DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON TAXPAYERS for survival.

As a TAXPAYER you are PAYING TAXES 3 times now for Target Corporation to keep its Team Members. If you support the Team Members in their recent Action TO be UNIONIZED YOU WILL BE HELPING YOURSELF and the Team.

Result you may Pay a little more while Shopping at Target Stores

but as a Tax Payer you will only be Paying once.Remember Target Stores is a Great PLACE TO Shop the Team need your support.
