Romney’s Middle Class: $200,000 To $250,000 A Year
Mitt Romney is not competent enough to shovel crap at a carnival, much less America.
By innerlinbo on Fri Sep 14, 2012
So George Stephanopoulos interviewed Mitt Romney. It starts with a lot of projection about lying. But what really interested me was when they started talking about Mitt's budget plans.
George had the temerity to bring up that even the most forgiving analysis of Mitt's "plan" will require all tax deductions to be dropped for anyone earning over $100,000 a year.
Here's what Mitt came back with:
"Let me tell you, George, the fundamentals of my tax policy are these. Number one, reduce tax burdens on middle-income people. So no one can say my plan is going to raise taxes on middle-income people, because principle number one is keep the burden down on middle-income taxpayers," he (Mitt Romney) said.
Fortunately for us George asked a key question ...
(See the magical question and the more magical answer below the cream puff...)George asked.... What's a middle-income taxpayer.
The answer:
"Romney defined middle income as $200,000 to $250,000 a year."Let us pause for a minute and note that, according to the US Census Bureau in 2011 the top 5% of households were those with an annual income of $186,000 or more.
I'm more and more convinced that Mitt's candidacy is some elaborate piece of performance art.
To add a little whipped cream to that statement, Romney then goes on to say:
"Number two, don't reduce the share of taxes paid by the wealthiest. The top 5% will still pay the same share of taxes they pay today. That's principle one, principle two."So, you're not going to raise taxes on middle-income taxpayers...
Who you define as those in the top 5%...
But the top 5% will still pay the same share of taxes...
And somehow the budget will be balanced...
While increasing defense spending and not cutting entitlement spending...Andy Kaufman would be proud.
BREAKING: Libyan Govt. Makes First Embassy Killing Arrests
From The LibyaHerald:
Ansar Al-Sharia to be disbanded “by force if necessary” as first arrests made in connection with US Ambassador killingTripoli, 14 September:
It is being reported that four men have been arrested in Benghazi in connection with the murder of US ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Amercan diplomatic staff in the city on Tuesday night. All are reported to be members of the extremist militia Ansar Al-Sharia led by Ismail Salabi.

Prime Minister-elect Mustafa Abushagour also told CNN on Thursday evening that a suspect had been arrested and that others were being sought. “Three or four are currently being pursued,” he said.
A source close to Abushagour has since told the Libya Herald that “some people” are now under arrest.
Mitt Romney can flap his face all that he wants, but President Obama did promise that justice would be served while working with the Libyan government to catch these criminals. Off to a fast start thus far.

Romney Smiles At News Of American Deaths In Libya
By Justin "Filthy Liberal Scum" Rosario September 12, 2012
From Addicting Info
This is Mitt Romney immediately after giving his poorly thought out statement to the press blaming the Obama administration for “sympathiz(ing) with those who waged the attacks.” Notice anything odd about him? Does that look like a man who just expressed disgust at the loss of American lives in Libya? Does he look disturbed that the President of the United States is supposedly taking the side of the Libyan rioters that killed them? Is that the face of a man who feels the weight of the responsibility of leadership in times of crises?
Not even a little.
This is the smile of a man who thinks he just landed a roundhouse in a political boxing match. This is the smile of a man who is using the death of Americans to score cheap political points. This is the smile of a man who couldn’t keep a smirk off his face long enough to be in private over his supposed “victory” that has turned into a debacle. This is the smile of a man who, literally, cares more about his campaign than the death of an American ambassador and several of his staff.
It’s one thing for the left to say that Mitt Romney is cold and indifferent to other people’s suffering. It’s quite another to see him smiling over how useful the deaths of others has been to him. This is not the face of the leader of a nation, this is the face of a sociopath, incapable of empathy or compassion. This is the real Mitt Romney and it’s a picture that every person in the country should see.
