Veterans and senior citizens are apart of the 47% that do not pay the “income” tax but receive government benefits. According to Mitt Romney, veterans and senior citizens are “victims” that dependent on on the government, don’t take “personal responsibility,” or “care” for their lives. Let us remember that senior citizens paid taxes all their lives and veterans risked their lives for our country.
Who else is apart of the 47% that don’t pay income taxes? Americans who have jobs and pay the payroll tax, or those who are in poverty. This man is out of touch with reality!

MITT ROMNEY IS THE 47%

Mitt Romney believes that veterans, senior citizens, and those who are struggling on the minimum wage are “victims” and are “dependent on the government” because they don’t pay income taxes (even though senior citizens have paid taxes their entire lives, veterans have risked their lives for our country, and many struggling Americans have jobs and pay the payroll tax). How are any of these people not taking “responsibility” for their lives…?

Bill and Hillary must return to the White House in 2016. Hell, I’d even nominate them for King and Queen of the World.

Bill Clinton compares and contrasts Democratic and Republican economic results:
“The Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector jobs. What’s the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million!”
“…here’s another job score. President Obama: plus 4 1/2 million. Congressional Republicans: zero.”
“…we all know that Governor Romney opposed the plan to save GM and Chrysler. So here’s another job score. Are you listening in Michigan and Ohio and across the country? Here’s another job score: Obama, 250,000; Romney, zero.”
“Republican economic policies quadrupled the national debt before I took office…and doubled the debt in the eight years after I left…”
“…they’ll just do what they’ve been doing for more than 30 years. They’ll go in and cut the taxes way more than they cut spending, especially with that big defense increase, and they’ll just explode the debt and weaken the economy.”

I haven’t spent the past 35 years in the trenches advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women’s rights at home and around the world to see another Republican in the White House squander the promise of our country and the hopes of our people…Barack Obama began his career fighting for workers displaced by the global economy. He built his campaign on a fundamental belief that change in this country must start from the ground up, not the top down. He knows government must be about “We the people” not “We the favored few

Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1 percent of the people have all the nation’s wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes and bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests.

Hillary Clinton is unstoppable — 2016 is a done deal if she decides to run
By JT Shroyer
History will look at Hillary Clinton as someone who never gave up and continued to succeed, despite being knocked down over and over again. She will be seen as a polarizing trailblazer who finally found her voice — leading to eventual success as First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State.
Once in positions of power, Hillary is ruthless when it comes to effectively advocating for her positions and destroying the opposition. This is why Republicans have fought (and failed) to stop her political career from climbing to new heights. Hillary’s resilience is unparalleled. She bounces back in the face of defeat because she’s smart, articulate, and tough. Many of Hillary’s colleagues have often noted that she is almost always the most knowledgeable person in the room about any given issue. Her knowledge, persistence, and stamina is an unstoppable combination. Her perseverance, despite being attacked daily for the last 30 years, is a testament to her political skill and brilliance. Former President Bill Clinton, the other half of this political powerhouse, often describes Hillary as the most competent person in his generation. I couldn’t agree more. So although she may have been too polarizing to win the Presidency in 2008, we can all be certain that if given the opportunity, she would have been one of the most competent and successful President’s in our lifetime. And I hope she is given another chance in 2016.

Just think…it is extremely rare for someone to become President of the United States. If Hillary becomes President in 2016, that would mean two people, who were both capable of becoming President, found each other and married. Now THAT would be the definition of EPIC.
