Your talking about the American Jobs Act thats suppose to do the same thing as the last stimulas of 800 billion that didn't work. Why keep throwing money down the same empty pit only for Obama to use it to buy more votes.
You're telling my 40% tax cuts didn't boost the economy?
Are you saying the thousands of teachers, policeman, and fireman that weren't laid off didn't help the economy?
Have you ever seen a bridge or a road that fixed itself?

Obama is doing a AMA on Reddit. Holy crap...lol
https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/240903767350968320
I am Barack Obama, President of the United States -- AMA : IAmA (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/)
Hi, I’m Barack Obama, President of the United States. Ask me anything. I’ll be taking your questions for half an hour starting at about 4:30 ET.
Proof it's me: https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/240903767350968320
We're running early and will get started soon.
UPDATE: Hey everybody - this is barack. Just finished a great rally in Charlottesville, and am looking forward to your questions. At the top, I do want to say that our thoughts and prayers are with folks who are dealing with Hurricane Isaac in the Gulf, and to let them know that we are going to be coordinating with state and local officials to make sure that we give families everything they need to recover.

Romney Party Yacht Flies Cayman Islands Flag - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/romney-party-yacht-flies-cayman-islands-flag/story?id=17105028#.UD7BaaOt2nD)

The floating party, hosted by a Florida developer on his yacht "Cracker Bay," was one of a dozen exclusive events meant to nurture those who have raised more than $1 million for Romney's bid.
"I think it's ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn't even pay its taxes," said a woman who lives aboard a much smaller boat moored at the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina.
Romney's Cayman-based investments have come under fire during the campaign.

He's only been calling on Congress to pass the American Jobs Act for over a year now. And he actually did speak at length about this during is State of The Union address.
Obama calls on Congress to quickly pass his 'American Jobs Act' - CNN (http://articles.cnn.com/2011-09-08/politics/obama.jobs.plan_1_president-obama-deficit-reduction-political-circus?_s=PM:POLITICS)
Jobs act...doesnt do enough. Has a couple good things, but he really hasnt pushed enough and sold it. Talk of stimulus and raising taxes on the rich is what I hear alot of. The raising tax on the wealthy (which I do support) does zero for jobs, like another round of stimulus.
Simpson and Bowles commision had alot good stuff in it, Obama and the congress ignored it.
Our nation tax code needs to be over hauled big time, this is a move with support on both sides and Bernanke and the Fed agree as well. Obama coulda really made an impact if he woulda at least pushed considerations from Simpson and Bowles debt commision and took an active approach at tax reform. Obama sat on his hands too much for me with his approach on the economy and our country's debt.

Great speech by Romney. Also Marco Rubio with a very good speech say one gaffe.
"Let’s make sure they write that we did our part. That we chose more government instead of more freedom."

I dont want a cut and dry flat, but something similar. Just the same rate for everyone wouldnt work.
I do know we need to get the corporate tax rate down below 25%...its just insane where it is now. insane.

I think the game just changed. Mittens got exposed for going after cheap child labor. Such a shiny beacon that our country should look towards!

This has been out for days. Not sure how big of a deal it is. I think it ought to be.
