Media Endorsements of Presidential Candidates

RE: Las Vegas Review-Journal Endorses Romney

Another unsupported assertion.

The source of all this isn't Romney, it's the Las Vegas Review-Journal's endorsement of Romney.

(October 10, 2012 at 2:46 pm)DeistPaladin Wrote: The point is what he said.

What he said was "If you've got a business – you didn't build that." I think you're better off arguing what he meant, but again, we don't agree on what he meant. I do think that what he said is what he meant.

Earlier I tried to get you or someone else to clarify what you think the term "trickle down" means, with no meaningful response on the subject. Romney isn't offering something he calls "trickle down" so I can't comment on it until you define what it is.

(October 10, 2012 at 1:12 pm)festive1 Wrote: For what it's worth, I'll throw this in too: I support a cap on how much one can leave in inheritance to one's family/dependents/children. I'd allow for leaving one's wealth to a charitable non-profit organization, but surely Gov. Romney's kids (and grandkids, and great-grandkids for that matter) would be completely financially comfortable and secure if he were only allowed to leave each of them, oh let me pick a number out of thin air here, $5 million.

Our unalienable rights in the US include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If Romney's pursuit of happiness includes leaving a very large inheritance to his heirs, then it is his business, not anyone else's. I don't want to give up my rights in this area, and I don't want anyone else judging what is right for me. If we did I'm sure there would be lots of people with opinions on all sorts of things, like whether parents with three kids should be able to be completely comfortable and secure with, oh let me pick a number out of thin air here, two kids, and give the other kid to some couple who find themselves infertile. No thanks.
