98% of taxes is paid by the top 2%....fair???? lol
uh, that is not a true statement. Try this for some actual, you know, facts:

I guess I can't see any fault in Mitt's statement. It is factually correct that a certain percentage of Americans don't pay income taxes so promising tax cuts doesn't mean anything to them. What they want is for the government to take more from the 53% of people who do pay income taxes and give more to them which is what Obama's campaign is all about. It was a good statement, and that one that needed to be said.
Is about to get worse.

Alienates senior citizens, parents of disabled persons and soldiers in combat zones, let alone people working and paying more taxes than he does, and to put icing on the cake he guarantees a Mideast war of biblical proportions. Something for everyone, at least he knows his crowd.
If mitt's having such a bad day, then why this....$35 million Hawaii estate regarded as possible Obama retirement home .
Very quietly, Obama’s chief financier, Penny Pritzker, has entered the Hawaii housing market to buy a retirement home for the president and his family that will be available not in 2016, but in January 2013, according to a confidential source within Pritzker’s Chicago organization

Snippy this morning, are we? You really like Mitt's chances better than Barak's? That's not strange, that's delusional.I think it's stunning that there are folks on here who think things are going just swimmingly for the Obama campaign. Even Obama's advisers don't buy that. Just strange.
Just wanted to say, I love cookies. Hehehehehehe.

He's been President for 4 years. My total taxes are less then they were before he was elected. I'm a damn hard working American.
What part of taxation is not redistribution? As for the 50/50 split, if the polls are within their margin of error in swing states, Romney is in far deeper trouble. Too much time and money spent polling to believe the candidates don't pay attention to them.I think the fact that we have both sides still at 50-50(give or take a little) shows that both sides have a lot of work to do. It wasn't just Obama that got us here, but he certainly didn't help. You can't ignore the 11 trillion in debt we had when Bush left office, no matter what party you support. Mind you, I'll be voting for Rosanne, if she is on the ballot.
As for Obama's video, if you believe that we should help(not hand out) people, then you believe in ssomething form of redistribution. I see nothing wrong with what he said because I believe we should out those that need a little help. I don't believe in catering to those that mooch, mind you.
Didn't he enact some payroll tax cut, though?
Maybe the coal plants closed because they weren't profitable. Been happening with natural gas wells alot lately. Know why? Because there is too damn much and they can't make a decent profit. I think alot of electric plants are moving to the use of natural gas anyway as a method of boosting prices and burning cleaner. And if a coal plant can't do it cleanly, it should close. There are standards for a reason.
