McCain on taxes: says he intially voted against tax cuts because spending out of control (won't say how he played class warfare card back then when he voted against them)

[usanevada]

Ron Paul was ask if the govt should be stimulating the economy

He said , yes , but he thinks it should be done by lower taxes , getting rid of regs ,

There is an attack on Romney..The moderator has asked twice about Romney raising fees..as a tax increase..but Romney did the math..He said there was a 3 billion deficit..and when he left office there was a 2 billion surplus..and the moderator said the fee increase was 1/2 billion..
So that means ..the only way Romney did that was...responsible spending...because 1/2 billion does not equal 5 billion
Isn't that correct?
Guliani..
Mutuality of Interest..the Japanese won't attack Pearl Harbor again..The Japanese own it..and Guliani is wrong..A global market is not better than a local economy because it creates shortages and trade deficits

[usanevada]

Fees are discretionary

Taxes are not

It was a win win all the way around
