He is going to repeal the Bush era tax cut's. That means when you vote for him it is a vote for every American to pay $2000 to $3,500 in taxes. That is one expensive ass vote.

True, but it's worth it to give more to the government to waste and to redistribute to the least productive members of society.
Fair share!

A complete and utter lie. Only true if you make over 250k

Wrong ass-clown. If you make over $50,000 you pay $2000. Over $200,000 you pay $3,500.

Taxes on over $200K/$250K joint for payroll and cap gains and dividends are going up in January as a result of Obamacare anyway. Just thousands more. No biggie. Fair share and all. Gotta pay for those $1 million dinners at the White House somehow.

Romney was raising mine anyway. In his original plan anyway. Who knows what he proposes now. Can't keep track of that guy's positions. He still doesn't like the gays though, so the nutjob "base" will vote for him.
Meanwhile in numbers land, where the GOP doesn't dare to go:
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-07-03/why-obamacares-tax-increase-isnt-the-biggest-ever
"Individuals earning $200,000 or above and couples earning at least $250,000 will pay a 0.9% Medicare surtax and a 3.8% surtax on investment income."
Unrelated to the tax rate, I had to laugh at this:
"Notably, Mitt Romney wasn’t one of the ones making noise. Attempting to save himself from the accusation that he raised taxes during his tenure as Massachusetts governor, Romney has been sticking to the argument that the Supreme Court wrongly decided the case and that the Affordable Care Act—along with his own state health-care mandate—was really a penalty, not a tax. (UPDATE: On July 4, Romney changed his position, saying the Supreme Court’s “final word is that Obamacare is a tax. So it’s a tax.”)"
Now we'll see the claims that "Business Week" is nothing but a liberal rag.

Yes, except politico called this complete bullshit.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82055.html
Tax rates will remain the same for everyone below 250k. That is something Obama has said over, and over and over and over again. Unlike romney he says actual numbers instead of hiding behind vague words like "middle class" which doesnt define a income bracket.
Any other lies you wanna spread?
Pants on fire from politifact btw

Man the stench from the GOP is really wafting now. Lying about something that is outlined in specifics all the while their candidate keeps saying "Just trust me, I'll tell you my plan after you elect me".

Expire Not Repeal

Those "Temporary" Bush Tax are a decade old and Obama extended them in light of the Massive Bush Recession.
Obama isn't going to repeal them. He is going to let them expire. And expire they should.
Seems like a wise move considering they did not do shit for the economy and have increased the debt and the deficit.
Look at what happened after they went into effect. The economy tanked. Unemployment went up. Debt skyrocketed. Deficits increased to an unprecedented level.
Fucks sake. Bad enough you can't get your facts straight but you want to re-write history too. And that is Romney's problem. He is running on hot air - not facts. He wants to institute the very policies which fucked up the economy.
This is very simple. Obama Wins and America Wins.
Romney wins and Americia loses.

Read the CRS report on tax rates and growth of the economy. It debunks the biggest piece of the GOP platform. There is no relation between lower tax rates and growth.

Tax rates do not affect hiring. Businesses hire people when they need to hire people.
If they can get away with the same or fewer employees to sustain the same (or growing) revenue, they aren't going to hire more people even if their effective tax rate is 0%.
