Who gets your vote for President of the United States of America?

I'm an American and I vote for Obama - just the man to turn American around after four miserable years
24 (29.6%)
I'm an American and I vote for Romney - his day one job: get ride of Obamacare and then strip America down and sell it for parts
14 (17.3%)
I'm not an American, but I would vote for Obama - a weak and apologetic America pleases me
30 (37%)
I'm not an American, but I would vote for Romney - a Mormon in the White House? That will be hilarious!
3 (3.7%)
I am American, and I waste my vote by voting for a third party
6 (7.4%)
I am not an American, but I would vote for Jaron
4 (4.9%)

As is 12 million jobs in 4.

If one went by this election one would think the only thing that determines employment is tax policy.  Clearly if we just disbanded the government tommorow and cut taxes to zero we would all be enjoying high paying middle class jobs.  Labor markets have nothing to do with it.

Even with/without that, I just don't understand how a lower taxe = new employee? Why not just pocket the money?

I for one can't wait to see how all those future former Federal employees are going to get absorbed into a private sector that refuses to hire.

Because they're refusing to hire while Obama is president.

Well, you know that and I know that, but I don't see how they're going to want to hire a substantial portion of the 2,500,000 federal employees we have now once the Federal government is eviscerated, even after they finally release the $2 trillion in capital they've been accumulating under Obama because they're waiting for a more "business friendly" president to release them from a regulatory environment.

Correction: They're waiting to see if he still will be.

If Romney does get elected, the rules will change yet again. Nobody wants to hire until they know what the rules will really be.

So far this week I've gotten emails from Josh and Tagg.  No word from the other three yet.

My brother was shopping at Costco and some dude in there gave him tickets to see Paul Ryan speak at the convention center today. Should I go?  :lol:

With only a few days left, Obama is campaigning in Wisconsin today. His campaign acknowledged that the state is now in play, citing that VP nominee Paul Ryan "basically moved into the state". Ryan has a house and family in Wisconsin, representing the state in Congress for 14 years.

VP Nominee pulled political stunt yesterday on Halloween by taking children out for trick-or-treating where they hypocritically accepted free handouts just for showing up:

With his leg, I wouldn't trust him to lift it, either. 

Would probably just try to hump it anyhow.

Well, in this case that's true. All Ed did was let some shelves fall on him. Presto! Instant wealth!
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
