Mr. Romney.... EXACTLY, SPECIFICALLY, IN DETAIL, which tax deductions are you going to "reform" (aka take away) in an effort to offset the Bush tax cuts that you're allowing the 1% to keep?
What's that? You don't like to get bogged down by details? Thought so.

So are you saying that he is running for president so that the company his son is working for gets some perks. That makes no sense.

Mr. Romney, in your first debate, you said you didn’t plan a huge tax cut for all Americans, including millionaires and billionaires. However, this is contrary to your own videotaped comments a few months ago when you said:
“We are going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by 20 percent, including the top 1 percent. “ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJzUQwJFW7k
Which is the truth, Mr. Romney, and why did you lie?
Mr. Romney, you said that your healthcare plan will cover pre-existing conditions, while leading news media and your own campaign have said this is FALSE. Why did you LIE?

Mr. Romney, you own or have owned several bank accounts in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, and you have control over where those funds go, as you have admitted. Why are you betting against America with those foreign funds? And, are you receiving any funds, directly or indirectly, from Communist China in support of your election?

Why don't you ask the Obummer why he forms a job's commission and never goes to a meeting. And he picks a person to head the jobs commission that transfers a whole lot of jobs overseas. And I guess its OK to say you have all these shovel ready jobs. Then a few months later you and the head of the commission are asked where are the jobs and you laugh about it. I don't think that's very funny.
Also I think it is asinine to think that a person that has done very well for himself that the only place he has money invested in is the USA. Hell i don't have any where near what Mr Romney has but i do have overseas investments. Look at you 401k. I bet you do too.

Mr. Big Bird,
can we see your tax returns for the last ten years? How is it that you are part of the 1% (millions in royalties per year) and part of the 47% who doesn't pay any taxes?

Future Mr President. Do you find it difficult to keep explaining yourself to the 47%'s who are jealous of the work you have done in your life and the success that comes with it. Or should we redefine the American way to say "the few work hard so others don't have to"

To Mitt Romney do you plan to keep the Earned Income Tax Credit and The Child Tax Credit that is aimed at helping Working Low Income Families?
