    Yes. There was quite a lot of polling in the swing states, and it was very clear that Obama was going to win Ohio and therefore the election.


    Yes, but Romney spent hundreds of millions of dollars and many months trying to flip those votes and could not do it. Just because the election was numerically close doesn't mean it was in doubt.

    100% accurate. People are forgetting the 2,000 credit per child. And many aren't even noticing that my income bracket wasn't even able to take advantage of this credit. If you make over 200,000 per year; you do not even qualify for many of the tax cuts. But hey let the liberals have their moment.

    very good point, Mags.

    This also goes much deeper, add the tax you will pay if you do not have an approved health insurance policy..or, the extra cost your current policy will have to charge you to make your plan inclusive of all the required items that they will have to provide. What? you dont need birth control pills, too bad. You dont need to have a child up to the age of 26 n your policy? too fuckin bad, someone does and you will help pay for it..tip of the fucking iceberg

    I just mean to say that the bush tax cuts helped the rich more than they helped the poor. When they expire, the rich will experience a higher percentage change than the poor. I get your point though. Maybe my knowledge of the rates is off.

    The rich won't experience a higher percentage change. The cuts maybe cut the highest bracket by 10% and the lowest ones by 25%. It wasn't a straight X% across the board.
