But, is Romney really what you see improving America? We have a gentleman running the country in Canada that has made it easier (and more profitable) for Canadian companies to take their call centers and basic plant operations overseas. I'm afraid that the platform Mr. Romney is running on will lead you down the same road.

Do yourself a favor and listen to Romney explain his platform and not what the MSM (main stream media) tells you what his platform is. There is a vast difference between the two. Here in the USA you have to realize the MSM is liberal leaning therefore pro-Obama, so the reporting is not impartial.
Andy, where have you seen Gov. Romney explain his platform? He says he will cut taxes for everyone, raise military spending and to pay for it he will cut tax deductions, he will not say what deductions he will take away and who it will affect, he says it will only be for those higher income earners, but he won't say what amount that is. I don't see how the math will work. If you have a link please post.
He just says it will, and Ryan said it has been done before at the debate, under President Kennedy and President Reagan. Well under Kennedy the tax rate for the high end was 91% and it dropped to 71% so we could still pay for our military spending and NASA and roads and bridges. When Reagan did it, he ended up having to raise some taxes or close some deductions to slow the rise of the nations debt. Romney and Ryan have not been clear, sounds good but like I have said I don't see how the math works. Now they will also say that it will allow the job creators to go out and hire people, with all the cash they are sitting on now and they haven't hired people, giving them more money I believe will not do it either. Didn't work during the 80's or during President' GW's term either. If Romney wants to win this thing, he needs to be clear on what he will cut. Heck if he would do that he might even get my vote, well except for that APA thing or as I call it, Obama/Romney care. He says his plan will cover pre-existing conditions but his campaign had to clarify it, that only if you already have insurance and don't get dropped or drop it. I'm not taking that change that my son gets screwed by the insurance companies.
At least President Obama can tell you who he wants to raise taxes on and how much although VP Biden said during the debate it wasn't at $250,000 it was on those making a million or more. Maybe this is the plan to offer up tax increases at a million instead of $250,000.
