The obvious answer to the 'better off' question

[clistensprechen]

Of course I did, and all you did was rephrase what I said--the only difference being that the competitiveness was a FAIL.

Even with all that enhancement of corporation productivity and outsourcing in an effort to be competitive, they failed to be competitive.

I wasn't arguing with you on that.  I was informing you that yes, I did bring up the point you claimed I did not.

US Slips Down the Ranks of Global Competitiveness




http://www.cnbc.com/id/48905756
[/color]The United States has slipped further down a global ranking of the world's most competitive economies, according to a World Economic Forum (WEF) survey released on Wednesday.[/font][/b][/color]
[/color]The world's largest economy, which was placed 5th last year, fell two positions to the 7th spot - marking its fourth year of decline.[/font][/size]

It sure looks like by your focus that you and your co-Hearts are rooting for our country to fail so you can put the Flip Flopper in-chief in power. Why would anyone vote for a president that has accounts in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands. I think Reagan is turning over in his grave because I know of no president who held accounts in another country than the one he wanted to be president of. Kentay   

So, ken, if I earn a lot of money you'd pass a law preventing me from banking it wherever I wished?  Failing that, I wouldn't be able to run for President?  How about if I bought a foreign-made auto...would that disqualify me from running?  Maybe a foreign made commode?  If I sat on one, forget the Presidency?

Just asking, ken.

Mike I guess you and I see things differently when I served my Country I volunteered. I felt like I owed it to my country and all of those before me that gave their service and lives so that I and you might have a better life. I think a president should set an example, just suppose all American bank and hid money overseas what do you think would happen to our country? Do you know of any President since our beginning that Bank and hid money overseas? I cannot believe you're supporting a flip Flopper like Romney, ether you haven't seen the videos or you just don't care because winning is all that matters not country. As long as I have known you always took the high road regardless of party or poster on your side and they were wrong, you spoke out.  Do you really believe Romney would be good for our country after seeing all of his video's and record? Have you not seen what Fact Checkers have been saying about the Lies of the Romney/Ryan team? Anyway a President to me should be a role model and be as close to the words we use to tell people around the world what we believe in and the words we use to describe our system of government and about those who lead us. I was born and raised in Detroit, Romney Father was our governor and I know where the Romney's live and the private schools he attended, because he has no clue to what it means to be middle class and or poor. Because he was born into a privilege life style and was sheltered. It's not about the wealth because Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and the Kennedy were all wealthy and the American People loved them because they had feeling and empathy for the least among us, something the Romney team and today's Republican party are severely lacking in. kentay .

Serving the country is not relevant to the conversation.  What is relevant is whether or not the libs still support a global economy.  Whether or not the rich dems who write tax code will move their money back to the country.  We all look for ways to lower our tax burdens. 


Instead of being hypocritical and hammering just cons you should join the fight to revamp the tax code, hammer some dems, and look forward to bringing this money back.  Your policies have made this country not very competitive.  How can you be competitive in a global economy under the policies you support?

This, from kentay:

kentay, you deliver a really nice sermon (yep, that's what it is) but you've repeated every slap the left has taken at Romney.  You act as if Romney didn't earn his position and wealth.  Maybe the Kennedy's didn't earn theirs either.  Maybe every rich Democrat cheated their way to wealth, think?  Romney attended private schools?  Oh really?  OK, did Bubba send Chelsea to a private school...ken...OR NOT?  I'm not going to call you a hypocrite, ken, but you should be able to apply the cap yourself without  help from me.  You're demonizing an honorable man, ken.  You should be slightly ashamed of yourself.  In fact, you ought to be a LOT ashamed of yourself. 

[Woody]

There was a point where the richest legislators were democrats.  Some earned it.  Some inherited it.  Some got rich while serving a lifetime in the senate.  Others married into it.  One was a recent presidential candidate.  There are many with off shore accounts.  There are those who offshore, outsource, keep profit overseas to avoid taxes.  Some write books, sell them overseas, and take a deduction here for the taxes paid.  Yet we hear little about them.  We get some crap that they are not running for president.  Worse, they write the tax code.  Still no word. 


I guess a question for kentay would be what exactly, in his words, would he like to see happen to Romney and will that apply to the dems also?
