The dumbnuts who follow romnuts have very little money because of taxation. They can't afford to pay their taxes. They seem unable to make the connection that if they can't afford to pay the small amount of extra taxes they pay, they damn sure won't be able to afford squat when they need medical attention or living expenses. I mean these people are as dumb as rocks. At this point in my life I pay 30% of my income (profit) in taxes. Now lets say a person makes 60k a year and pays 18k in taxes. A drop of 10% will be an extra 6k in taxes not payed. If a person is already struggling to pay the 30% because they can't manage their money or they are living past their means, where is the tax savings going to go? I'll tell you where, food, shelter, clothing, kids, entertainment etc. etc. They still will have nothing. It's not what you make but what you spend. Now granted anyone living off of less that 40k a year (couple) and more is some places, will never have anything. The cost of living is too high for them. It's unfathomable most of the dumbnuts don't have a pot to piss in or could loose it at anytime. It's mind boggling.

Has Romney flat out said he will abolish it? LukeFL Oct 2012 #11
Yes. He said it in the second debate and Obama didn't challenge it at all. BlueStreak Oct 2012 #14
