It actually has everything to do with a decent living wage for all workers, with benefits, as was inferred in the Bill of Rights.

THIS JUST IN.

The U.S. has a sitting President who may or may not have graduated from Kindergarten!

Film at 11.

Geez folks....You've got a candidate that wants the keys to your country, but doesn't even think enough of you to tell you if he has invested in Chinese corporations!! Just ask him.... see if he will give you a straight answer without crossing his fingers behind his back.

If we believe that the cost of American jobs is unsustainable, we have lost. The rest is easy. Buy more American products to start. It was stated if we spend $64 a year more to buy American, it will create 200,000 jobs. With the flood of Chinese crap on the shelves, it takes some doing, but it can be done. It's a start to take back our country. Then push out the bozo's in Washington that are permitting it.

I was waiting to read through all of these posts before putting my own 2 cents in when you touch on my point. Lets not be so hypocritical casting a canidate as evil because they have supported the health of their business utilizing commerce in another part of the globe. How many American consumers walk into Walmart, buy a pair of jeans from China or TV from Korea without even a thought about where they come from. Then go out and brag to their buddies about what a great deal they got! We live in a global economy and the first solution is to suck it up and compete instead of whinning about some type of entitlement for jobs in America regardless of the cost or quality. Next, lets put our money where our mouth is. Buy the American made product if it is competetive. Maybe it will start a trend. Wheh, now that is off my chest I am going back to F stops and shutter speeds.

Maybe then Obama, will unseal his school documentation too!


Or even his REAL birth certificate, which is not the one posted on the Whitehouse website.

A couple who appeared on HGTV about a month ago were trying to build their house entirely of US made material. They were unable to do so. Also the US has lost it's capability to build passenger ships. We can make warships, but not passenger ships. Those are built overseas.

Mitt Romney has told us that he did in fact pay the required 13% taxes during the past 10 years. Okay Mitt we'll trust you on this, BUT as we were taught by that great American President Ronald Reagan, "Trust, but verify."

And so somewhere in those 10 years, or even 5 years as was just suggested, there is something that Mr. Romney doesn't want "us the people" to see. Here is what I suspect, That he was so heavily invested in China that it would be proven that he prefers to create Chinese jobs as opposed to American jobs. Heck... "you people" just demand too high of wages and medical insurance and paid vacations and sick pay. The people of China don't. "You people" affect my bottom line way more than the people in China, so I prefer to invest my money in creating jobs for them, not "you people." Don't believe it? Next time you see him on the campaign trail ask him about Global-Tech Appliances Inc., it's a Chinese firm that he had invested in around 1998-2000. It was a Chinese appliance manufacturer trying to get a foot hold in making refrigerators, etc. that used to be made here. China vs. American jobs.

So yes Mr. Romney "we the people" will trust you on the taxes, but we're still going to need verification.

In my view, it's bigger than this trivial blathering. Romney doesn't want to be seen as willing to be pushed around by the Liberal media or Liberal Administration which would show weakness on his part. Bush Sr. let Liberals push him around ("Read my lips, no new taxes" and then let Democrats cleverly push him into new taxes), was overly relaxed and non-combative during his second campaign, and you can see what that got him - out. He was a compromising ambassador and never a true leader.

Romney, as a CEO "head" of many corporations is not accustomed to being pushed around by anybody he doesn't want to cooperate with and he won't cooperate with the Liberals. If his own party were to ask him to reveal more, he likely would, but as long as it's Liberals trying to "pin him" you won't see him compromise and do so at all.

Your fake "We the people" don't give a crap about his 10 years of taxes nor companies he revived using Chinese workers. Truly concerned citizens of this country are concerned about the future, not the past, and not what already is and won't be changed with any incoming or incumbent President. Every company in the U.S. is using Chinese workers, either 100% or at least partially - so that has no bearing on fixing the economy. Only the "We the back stabbing Liberals who aren't going to vote for Romney anyway" are biting like wild dogs at his ankles for tax returns hoping for a way to tear him apart. Not for the good of the country, but for the political good of their pitiful candidate - because Obama's record of accomplishments is and always has been in the bottom of the dumpster and throwing out trivial accusations at Romney is all they've got to work with.

If your hoax version of "We the people" wanted truth and real answers, they would have torn Obama to pieces years ago, but that's not the case because of the adoring, brown-nosing, Liberal media now is it?

The real "We the people" would only have to all read one Michelle Malkin book, for example, to learn the detailed, carefully researched, documented, and verified truth they need to know about Obama and Michelle, the African-American version of Kennedy's fascinating Camelot. Then the presidential campaign could just stop, the Romneys could back their moving truck up to the Whitehouse, and just wait for the November landslide to begin.

We are also being forced to pay for medicare and social security and I think those should be abolished too! I think they should be abolished next year and the debt paid with the monies in the social security and medicare fund!

These are communist systems being imposed on the free individual who built this country and made it what it is!

We should abolish the highway trust fund - another communist idea - and those who use the roads should pay a toll to use them. It is an expression of our individualism and freedom to go where we want but to pay our own way. To pay our own way - each on his own is the American Way!

We should end all laws that require vaccinations. That is an invasion of my personal liberty to get sick if I want.

We should end public education. If you can't afford to send a child to school you should not have children.

We should end all labor laws. If a company wants you to work 7 days a week 12 hours a day and pay $1.00 per hour and you want to eat then take the job or go hungry! That is the American Way of individualism. You work hard and you will be rewarded.

The list could go on.

END COMMUNISM IN THE UNITED STATES!

Your name fits. Your rants are out of your imagination, not from facts.
We should insist that BO run on his record, instead of imagining anything and everything, to get people's minds off of his record.
Has BO ever denied that he was a foriegn student, while in college ?
