    Equals 0.56% tax rate for Mitt Romney in 2010.

    No balanced budget until 2030.

    If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

    Not the most articulate way to put it, but a monkey could see what he really meant.

    “But you know what, I’m not going to see us gut the investments that grow our economy to give tax breaks to me or Mr. Romney or folks who don’t need them. So I’m going to reduce the deficit in a balanced way. We’ve already made a trillion dollars’ worth of cuts. We can make another trillion or trillion-two, and what we then do is ask for the wealthy to pay a little bit more. (Applause.) And, by the way, we’ve tried that before — a guy named Bill Clinton did it. We created 23 million new jobs, turned a deficit into a surplus, and rich people did just fine. We created a lot of millionaires.There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)



    The theme carries through the entire speech. haha

    "We're the ones who are offering a plan to save Medicare, to protect Medicare, to strengthen Medicare," Ryan said. "We're the ones who are not raiding Medicare to pay for ObamaCare. … We're the ones continuing the guarantee of Medicare for people in or near retirement."

    He added: “President Obama is actually damaging Medicare for current seniors. It's irrefutable and that's why I think this is a debate we want to have, and that's the debate we're going to win.”

    You paid in to Medicare for years … now when you need it, Obama has cut $716 billion from Medicare. Why? To pay for ObamaCare.

  • Except the president is right.

    You didn't build the bridge or the road or the wires that bring electricity and telephone and the Internet into your house.

    You didn't build the infrastructure that helped your business get off the ground.

    And the more you bang that gong, the more people look into what he ACTUALLY said and realize that... The president is right. The American dream is made possible by the people of America.

    "The president, I'm told, is talking about Medicare today," Ryan told supporters at Miami University, where he graduated from college. "We want this debate. We need this debate. And we will win this debate."

    "President Obama is out of ideas," Ryan said, "and that is why his campaign is based on anger and division."

    "Government didn't build my business, I DID."

    That was the pro-Mitt Romney message on the T-shirt Davenport, Iowa, deli co-owner Ross Murty wore when he went to work on Wednesday. Nothing unusual, especially in a campaign season—except he was serving food to the traveling White House press corps during President Barack Obama's visit to the town.

    It's a reference to Obama's remarks at a July rally in Virginia, where he argued that government investments in infrastructure and education as well as "this unbelievable American system" made it possible for entrepreneurs to succeed. Romney's campaign has turned those remarks into a potent political attack.

    Murty gamely posed behind a pasta dish and pulled pork for pictures by reporters accompanying the president on his trip. Obama campaign aides did not comment on the record.

    Easy does it, Prince- cooties were very instrumental in helping build my business. In fact, I think it's time to change the name to "Cootie's Books" :lol:

  • After that rather desperate selective editing, Romney and his clueless campaign staff produced a commercial with Jack Gilchrist of Gilchrist Metal Fabricating talking about how he and his father created the company.

    Except Gilchrist Metal received $800,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds issued by the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority to set up a manufacturing plant and buy new equipment.

    You have been guilty of this actually not only only these boards but in this thread. Just saying...

    Are you really going to stalk me from thread to thread, try (unsuccessfully) to pick fights with me and generally act like... This?

    And I'd ask you to point out this phantom selective editing but it would be like the phantom statement of mine that only you saw about... Something. I can't be arsed to look it up. And since you claim you can find 50 instances of something else in other papers but when asked to point to one... You start to change the subject to your pool, I'm going to say you can't find the instances of selective editing.

    You're really bad at this. You should take up macramé.

    Murtry may have built his business, but he didn't build "that"....

    I'm not sure you really know much about business. $800,000 doesn't buy shit in equipment. That must be one small business.

    And think the president has it 100% backwards. But it all depends on how you look at it. Without business we don;t need all that shit. Without the roads, etc you wouldn't have a successful business.

    But the government taking credit for business because of some roads and tax breaks is like Sony taking credit for Pearl Jam. Sure they helped, but without the talent....

    Ummm, it's quite easy to rip on Biden, he is a walking and talking idiot. So much of an idiot that Sarah Palin has the right to rip on him. That's how bad.

    Honestly, Obama's pick for VP was ridiculously stupid. He got lucky when McCain picked Palin who wasn't ready for the spotlight yet. Dan Quayle would wipe the floor with Biden in a spelling bee.

    if biden is so bad how has he continued to win elections and represent his constituents for so long? i voted for him in the primary over clinton and obama. he had a better platform in the primary.
