A report last month by the Tax Policy Center found that his [Romney's] tax plan would increase after-tax income for millionaires by 14.5 percent while increasing the after-tax income of those making less than $20,000 by less than 1 percent and of those making between $30,000 and $40,000 by less than 3 percent.

Nothing's going to change. The politicians are rich they work for the corporations, for the rich and to enrich themselves. It doesn't matter who we vote for. The important thing, the thing that would bring change, would be to do something to change the way the game is played.

I disagree - not about the rich part, but about it not mattering who we vote for.

If you see something different than business as usual that might have a chance of taking off let me know. Ron Paul is the only one who is not bought and sold by big money and I don't see how he could possibly win.

Take a good close look at my avatar that's exactly how I feel.

I can't figure out how to enlarge your avatar. It's too small for me to make out any details.

I usually don't get involved with politics online, but I agree that nothing will change unless we would keep voting them out after one term. Maybe that way after awhile, they would get the idea and start helping the common man/woman, instead of the corporations and their pork barrel projects. I wish there wasn't such a thing as a political party. I wish it was just people helping the US of America first.

how do I post a photo?

It shows a cow going down a ramp to the slaughterhouse door. One side says "right" the other says "left" but they both lead to "slaughterhouse door". The caption reads "The illusion of free choice."

Hmm. I'm not sure I want to compare myself to a cow!

The point is we're told we have a choice but the two "choices" are the same and are all leading us down the same path.

Yes, I realize that. I was just making a lame joke.
