Mitt Romney’s attack on the moral character of disabled veterans, elderly and disabled Social Security recipients, and hard-working Americans in low-wage jobs because they do not pay income taxes is especially galling given the great energy he has put into evading income taxes on his very high income. Many of those whom Mr. Romney impugns pay a significant portion of their income in payroll taxes which support Social Security and Medicare. And until Mr. Romney stops hiding his own tax records, we can speculate that those people pay a higher percentage of their income in these taxes than Mr. Romney does on his foreign accounts, tax shelters, and other evasive devices.
What Mr. Romney has done is to make clear – although he had not intended to be so public about it – the philosophical rationale behind efforts of the Romney-Ryan ticket to weaken the Social Security and Medicare safety nets.
Well I certainly don't want my Social Security or Medicare to be privatized. I hope many others, especially seniors who still deny Medicare is a Government program...will wake up and pull the lever behind that curtain the right way on November 6.
DEMOCRACY is a Relay Race .. you pass the baton by VOTING. Please even if you don't vote for Obama... VOTE for MEDICARE and MIDDLE CLASS in November.
