As much as I am a republican, I would be very careful to jump the gun and say the election is over.
The issue is that while Obama has not done a good job in revitalizing the economy.
1. Romney/Ryan promise the same approaches that Bush had and we know where that led us in Oct 2008.
2. Romney/Ryan plan to balance the deficit on the backs of the middle class and if the Democrats were smart they woulkd force them to admit it.
With all the Federal agencies, aside from Defense, only accounting for about 15% of expenditures of the Federal govt the deficit will only be fixed with major cuts to entitlement programs...which Americans oppose...knowing exactly how sad their lives will be as their 401(k) plans arent going to sustain them. The GOP will raise revenues by reducing deductions that are key to the middle class...401(k)/mortgage interest...or by taxing health insurance paid for by their employers.
The EFFECTIVE income tax rate by the middle class will INCREASE.
Rev and his merry band of anti black bigots dont have the blames to see this but I will challenge them to prove me wrong.
