Most Americans Don't Think Either Obama or Romney can Help their Finances
So why vote for either of these clowns:
When asked specifically about the impact each would have on their own personal financial situation, registered voters were skeptical about what either Mr. Obama or Mitt Romney could do, though they were slightly more optimistic about Romney's impact.
As many as 38 percent said if Mr. Obama is re-elected his policies would make their own financial situation worse, compared to 26 percent who think he would make things better. By comparison 26 percent said Romney's election would make their personal situation worse while 28 percent said it would make things better. About one third said neither Romney nor Mr. Obama would have an impact.Full article

LA Times Editorial: Obama anti-gun? Says who?
Just another example of the fraud who is Barack Obama:
Obama hasn't proposed any anti-gun legislation in his first term, and has rarely mentioned the topic. This makes us wonder how long the NRA and the politicians who do its bidding can continue to pretend there's a wolf at the door before people look outside and discover that wolves are an endangered species.
The answer, based on last week's annual NRA convention, is apparently forever.Full article

Revenue from Corporate Taxes have Dropped 33% to Under 10% Over Last 50 Years
Thanks to 'The Young Turks' for exposing the big lie about corporations paying too much taxes. Since the 1950s revenue from corporate taxes dropped a high of 30+% to under 10%. During than same period, to make up for the difference in lost revenue, payroll taxes (what 'little' people pay) have gone up 4 times. Individual income taxes have remained the same, as a percent of total Federal revenue.
Still doubt if the corporations run this country and we don't?

Is Speed Trader Mark Gorton Killing Wall Street?
Is Speed Trader Mark Gorton Killing Wall Street?
This is an interesting complaint because in many ways Mark Gorton is the new face of Wall Street. Gorton is a high-frequency trader. His company, Tower Research Capital LLC, with its 275-person global staff of engineers and computer science and physics majors, is part of an industry that today is responsible for more than half of all stock trading in the United States, according to the Tabb Group, a financial markets research and strategic advisory firm. Gorton's is an industry under scrutiny.
