Ditto. Granted, I think the concept of putting a hard limit on tax deductions (in the neighborhood of 25k) is a fucking brilliant idea.

I'd be fine with eliminating tax deductions entirely, HOWEVER it obviously would have to go along with a re-jigger of the tax code, or a lot of families who use deductions for kids and homes would have serious issues. The 25k limit is interesting...where was that proposed?

Romney briefly mentioned it in the 2nd or 3rd debate. Just before he decided to go full retard and suggest that capital gains should be obliterated to 0% tax.

**Necronus** · 2012-10-27 15:37

I want to vote third party, and have in the past ... knowing full well my vote means even less than usual, but this year Romney has said shit that is making me vote for Obama in pure spite of him ... not that it matter much, being in a Blue state.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-10-27 16:19

Obama. He's done good stuff for me in the last 4 years, and I like his cool demeanor. It also doesn't hurt that I agree with his policy on most issues. I certainly cant think of any where I vehemently disagree.

Plus... Romney has flip-flopped so much, even if he werent trying to gain support of crazy people I still wouldn't vote for him. He strikes me as an insincere mercenary. Obama should consider hiring him NOT to run.

**Stromgarde** · 2012-10-27 16:24

There should be an option for 'I don't live in a swing state and therefore my vote is meaningless.'

**Tyrath** · 2012-10-27 16:26

Not a citizen otherwise I'd vote Obama. In a blue state anyways though.

**kuronosan** · 2012-10-27 16:30

Likely voting Obeezey.

I don't like how he is handling corruption (seriously,none of the debates even mentioned OWS yet they talked about the Arab spring) but to be honest the Republican party is just utterly disgusting and nothing about Romney screams 'trustworthy'.

**Cream Soda** · 2012-10-27 16:32

If I cared enough to vote, it'd be for independent. Romney is batshit crazy and Obama sounds great on paper, but 1/4th+ of his administration has been the most poverty struck time of my life with the least amount of assistance (couldn't even get food stamps; got denied 5 times). So while I like Obama's social issues stances, fuck that nigga

Congratulations, you have officially fulfilled the republican strategy goals in Florida.

**Cream Soda** · 2012-10-27 17:03

Obama did all the fulfilling there.

**Plow** · 2012-10-27 17:05

You might want to take a look at your state government.

**Plow** · 2012-10-27 17:06

Just remember that even in the states that have republican leadership that are actually doing reasonably well atm, it they actually talk about it they're admonished by the GOP nationwide for having the gall to imply anything went even remotely well while Obama was president.

I should show this to my dad, he thinks Obama gives away food stamps like Oprah gives away cars.

It has nothing to do with what republicans are saying though, so whether or not they say things are well with Obama in office isn't really of relevance to me. My post was based on how I've been living during this administration and nothing else.

Do I think Romney would do anything to help the situation, fuck no, but I'm also not going to be dumb enough to think that Obama in another 4 years is going to change how shit's been here for his first 4 years.

Even if I were to vote, no matter who it was for, life is still gonna be the same shit quality on this end.

Oh, he does, you just have to have a Cadillac . It's a requirement. There's a house up the street from my own, four individuals living there. Each individual has their own set of food stamps, they all drive their own car. Lol I'm the only one who seems to be getting denied.

lol this doesn't even make sense. Unless Obama did something to make it harder to get food stamps, how can you put the blame on him?

I swear the average voter is a short-sighted retard. Hurr durr bad stuff happened to me the last 4 years it must be the POTUS fault

Not blaming him at all. Not saying "it's Obama's fault I can't get assistance." I'm saying that if I can't get it with him now, I won't be able to get it with him later. No incentive to vote for him.

Basically, nothing about him or his policies will increase my quality of life, so I have no reason to vote for him; not necessarily blaming him for anything.
