romey has spent more corporate money in Florida than the McCain campaign spent in its entirety.
the new rules remove all caps from campaign donations. Now companies can openly buy off politicians, instead of pretending to hide it.
I used to think that Obama had a done deal...but Romney IS of the corny capitalists. He is one of them, and apparently all of his top 1% friends are going out of their way to get him elected.
His goal, to halve the existing returns tax on stocks.
A typical american pays roughly 30%+ on taxes.
People like Romney who main dividens and gains pay 15%
romney is trying to drop his taxes to 7%.
Romney doesnt give a shit about anyone but romney. The amount of media bought and paid for by the 1% makes me wonder if Romney actually has a chance to win this election. If so, then prepare to watch Americ get much worse in the next 4 years.
Restore Our Future, Romney's campaign and other Romney allies combined spent $15.3 million to air 12,768 ads in Florida....
"They" have chosen him for sure. Media machine at work. Just turn the damn TV and radio off and we can decide for ourselves.
Citizens United case is going to destroy this country.
Spending 15 million dollars to win a primary is Florida... thats just shows how fucked the system is and how fucked it is that money can dictate positive media image or negative media image, matters how much cash you have.

And by that, I mean they have to openly admit to having sex with tons of people (still), occasionally getting high (still), and to find their job funny.
Until that: no votes from me.
I was thinking of running for Congress in Alaska against Don Young and using that as my platform.
