Spitting Tacks

I listened to Mitt on Larry King tonight ... it was a big mistake! After hearing him state that he has said often that he is concerned for the economy (when? was I not listening? or did he get concerned on the plane to Michigan?) he again began talking about relief for the middle class. He was touting his plan to allow the middle class, which he defines as those earning under $200,000/year, to earn interest on their savings tax free. ARGH!

Thanks, Mitt. I challenge that on a bunch of levels, the first being how you define middle class. If he had said under $100,000, it might have been closer. But most of those people are two earner families and they need every penny they have to live. Most don't have savings, so Mitt's proposal is useless. Moreover, because they are two earner families, they pay a higher tax than a single earner would.

Get a clue, Mitt

Will Mitt Save MI like he did MA?

Mitt's Mythical "Mass. Miracle"

Read this and then decide if you think Mitt Romney is the man to help Michigan's economic woes!

The PowerPoint Mind

David Brooks, writing in his article Road to Nowhere which is quoted elsewhere on this site, commented that Mitt Romney reduces everything to a PowerPoint presentation. *grin* This is a trend I have noticed generally in business and don't consider an effective way of communicating. So this morning I went over to the Romney site to see what they were saying about New Hampshire. The answer to that is predictable ... they were applauding Wyoming. But while I was there I decided to take a look at the Issues pages .... LOL! nearly every page has screen shots of what have to be PowerPoint presentations.
