I am an old, OLD liberal Democrat. An FDR Democrat. I've never voted for a Republican in my many years of voting nor will I.

Mitt Romney's Money: Candidate Will Amend Financial Disclosures Released In August
The returns Romney made public this week represent the years 2010 and 2011, and raise more questions than they answer.
His 2010 return indicates he paid a rate of 13.9 percent, and suggests he paid far lower than that in 2009. The 2010 return reveals he carried over $4.9 million in capital losses from the previous year. That means he paid no taxes on any capital gains in 2009, including no taxes on his carried interest. So how much did he pay in 2009? Zero? How close to zero?
Or how about 2008, the year when the investment market first crashed?
Romney's 2010 return also lists a Swiss bank account. Romney's trust adviser said the account existed "for diversific
We would know the answers to those questions if Romney released his earlier returns.

How much did Romney make and what tax rate did he pay from 1984 to 2009? In this period, he was a corporate buyout specialist at Bain, and he then continued to receive a share of the Bain profits as part of a non-compet

Obama And GOP Candidates Challenge Each Other Over Taxes, Economy
From Obama's SOTU to Congress:

As I told the Speaker this summer, I'm prepared to make more reforms that rein in the long term costs of Medicare and Medicaid, and strengthen Social Security, so long as those programs remain a guarantee of security for seniors.

Sorry, friend, but nothing that you're inferring from Obama, about any difference
Obama talks a good game, but when push comes to shove, Obama's true colors, his treachery, becomes apparent for anyone who cares to see.

Turn off your televisions. Ignore the Newt-Mitt- Rick-Barac k reality show. It is as relevant to your life as the gossip on “Jersey Shore.” The real debate, the debate raised by the Occupy movement about inequality , corporate malfeasanc e, the destructio n of the ecosystem, and the security and surveillan ce state, is the only debate that matters. You won’t hear it on the corporate- owned airwaves and cable networks, including MSNBC, which has become to the Democratic Party what Fox News is to the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party. You won’t hear it on NPR or PBS. You won’t read about it in our major newspapers . The issues that matter are being debated, however, on “Democracy Now!,” Link TV, The Real News, Occupy websites and Revolution Truth. They are being raised by journalist s such as Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi. You can find genuine ideas in corners of the Internet or in books by political philosophe rs such as Sheldon Wolin. But you have to go looking for them.
Voting will not alter the corporate systems of power. Voting is an act of political theater. Voting in the United States is as futile and sterile as in the elections I covered as a reporter in dictatorships like Syria, Iran and Iraq. There were always opposition candidates offered up by these dictatorsh ips. Give the people the illusion of choice. Throw up the pretense of debate. Let the power elite hold public celebratio ns to exalt the triumph of popular will. We can vote for Romney or Obama, but Goldman Sachs and ExxonMobil and Bank of America and the defense contractor s always win. There is little difference between our electoral charade and the ones endured by the Syrians and Iranians. Do we really believe that Obama has, or ever had, any intention to change the culture in Washington ?
