wow, powerful stuff..here in southwest Texas, they can't wait to vote for Rmoney. Think any damn stupid one of them will watch this? Doubtful, they are all too busy working, in an area with nearly full employment in the lousy economy that Obama has created. HUH??? If Bain bought their little pipeline company and brought in Mexican nationals to work for sub minimum wage, they would still blame Obama, you know, the black man who dares to be our president. It's a crazy mixed up world down here in Reichland!

TAX THE RICH, Rmoney is a creep!!

Congrats to VP Joe Biden for an outstanding job tonight in the debate. He was hard hitting yet not condescending or bullying. He was spot on both on domestic and foreign policy issues.



I would like to see the President in next Tuesdays' debate directly take on Romney for his blatant lie about claiming to not know of any special financial incentives for corporations to outsource jobs. In my view this was the most blatant of the lies he told.



In just one evening of research, I came across all kinds of facts and figures that show there are all kinds of incentives for outsourcing written into the tax code and they have been there for many years. A corporation can even write off their "moving expenses" of shipping their factories overseas. Between that and the billions they can hide overseas via "unrepatriated earnings" they have made a killing.



The truth is, John Kerry in 2004 ran on this very thing and made a huge deal about it in his campaign and in debates. I guess people weren't paying too much attention back then what with a new "terror alert" every few days. That was done by design to keep the masses distracted. We also weren't in the middle (yet) of a financial and unemployment crisis, but the job hemorraging had already begun.

Another thing that would be discovered about alot of these corporations if people would bother to dig deeper is that many of them are dealing in trafficking of illegal workers. Seems like all the time there is a bust somewhere and dozens and dozens of these people are rounded up. You have to ask yourself how did they get here and why are they here? There have been a few high profile "busts" of some of these manufacturing companies shipping in illegal workers but for the most part the media and the government seems to want to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.

The fatcats figure rather than go thru the hassle of shipping an entire industry overseas to make a bigger profit, why not just ship the workers in here? Pay off a few government officials and local law enforcement, that's all it takes. So many of them are for sale anyway. Human trafficking is the number one human rights issue of our time. It is nothing more than modern slavery.

Mitt Romney is AGAINST the American Worker:

How is shipping jobs overseas good for the American Economy?

A business man that has been in business for 25 years who dont know laws either doesnt know business as he says be does. this man is a total sham as he only knows how to take and his good deeds are only for the members of his faith.

Cut and gut is what he and other ceos love to do and jack welch is one who said if he could he out source every part of GE to improve the bottom line and now these people want more and lie how they will be strong on china how can you be hard on someone that is giving you more money.

He's lying. I've heard it's true that if someone buys a business in China, there are no tax breaks. However, by moving a US business over there, the CEOs can get all the benefits that should only be for creating jobs in the US.



I hope that people really vote with their heads rather than with their emotions. I wonder how many of Romney supporters are from rural areas that lost factories and are directly affected by unemployment. I wouldn't be surprised how many are on some kind of welfare benefit as well.

I heard that while Gov. of Mass., Mitt outsourced some governmental business to India. This is who Romney really is. He has no heart or morals and that is why Mitt has no problem lying or distorting the truth. We must continue to educate the public about what this country would be like under a Romney administration. The wealthy would become wealthier and the rest of us would lose our rights and money. Romney would pick up where G.W. ended and instead of a recession we would go into a depression.

There are also "empty" business buildings in the US that for some "unknown" reason are suddenly putting barbed wire fences around them. ??????????

Wasn't Robme that said he like China? And didn't he mention the barbed wire fences?
