Romney, Romney, Where's Romney?

In last week's Presidential debate Gov. Romney continued his trip down the path of no identity.

He was the very moderate conservative governor of Massachusetts.

During the campaign he became the self professed 'severe conservative'.
Whateve the hell that is.

Then last week he swerved back to the moderate middle.

In the vernacular of the texting world, WTF?

Easy explanation. Like any good chameleon, or person with no conviction, he adjusts his views to those of his audience.

I'm sure if he had been speaking to a group of nuns he would have been saying Hail Marys!

He has alternated between being pro-choice or anti-choice(aka pro-life) depending upon the audience.

Gov. Romney created a successful healthcare system, now he wants to abandon Obamacare which is a veritable copy of his RomneyCare plan.

He stated that 47% of the people won't vote for him no matter what so he won't even address them, then days later he is assurring everyone that he would be a 100% President.
Oh, wait 100%er in public, 47% in private.
Different audience, different point of view.

He said that he plans on maintaining the Bush tax cuts and cut everyone's tax rates by 20% and increase defense spending by $2trillion.

All of these reductions in income and he will keep the budget 'revenue' neutral by eliminating deductions, loop holes, etc..

But the middle class won't pay more.

The bean counters have calculated that 20% equals about $4.7 trillion

The deductions and loop holes will make up about $2.7trillion leaving a $2% tril. difference.

Oh, and don't forget the + $2 tril for defense.


That puts us back to $4 tril.

Where will that come from?

That's right, you and me.
The middle class.

I hope you weren't planning on using your tax refund for a vacation or new car.

Without a mortgage and property tax deductions, kiss that refund good by.

Oh, and that $20 you put in the collection plate and the pile of old clothes you took to Goodwill?
Those are out of the goodness of your heart, since that deduction will go too.

I wish I were the owner of my own business so I could have it own my home and then take it and all expeses as business expenses.
Or go on vacation to explore new business opportunities with my wife, the VP of the company.
And don't forget the kids cars, owned and maintained by my company.
I sure hope my Mom enjoys the house at the beach the company owns.
Lucky I can cover her on the company health insurance plan.

If Gov. Romney becomes president, I won't have to worry about the tax changes at all, and I know he'll take care of me.
And I'm not even a 1%. Yet.
