And the theme the Obama campaign will adopt? ""The more the American people see of Mitt Romney, the less they like him and the less they trust him," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement issued shortly after Santorum suspended his campaign." Not that they like Obama or why they should like Obama...............just "look how bad the other guy is". Professing to be able to read the mind of the American people to them them what they will be thinking. "The initiative, calling for a minimum tax of 30 percent on those earning more than $1 million a year has no chance of quickly becoming law, but it anchors Obama's vow to forge an economy where everyone has "a fair shot."" A tax that will bring in less than $5 billion a year, this is his singular proposal to balance the budget. Oh wait they now admit it has nothing to do with lowering the deficit. It is an envy tax. So tell me how does taxing capital out of the economy ensure everyone gets a "fair shot" at it? "The president argued that government-led investments in the future economy were not a "socialist dream" as some of his conservative opponents would have it, but were essential to future prosperity." Yes vote for me and I will take the money from that guy down the street who has more than you do and give you stuff with it. That's the socialist dream NOT the American Dream. "Congress was expected to vote on the millionaires tax next week and the plan has almost no chance of passing." And he knows it, but he knows he can play on the envy of voters and fool them with his bromides and platitudes. ""The Buffett Rule is little more than an election year political stunt to raise taxes on investors who help create jobs," said Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a possible vice presidential pick for Romney. "This has nothing to do with putting millions of unemployed Americans back to work and everything to do with the president keeping his job. "It has nothing to do with sound economic policy and everything to do with class warfare politics."" And Rubio nails it. So let the battle begin, Obama betting on the ignorance and pliability of the American voter, Romney betting they are smarter and want a better future fore themselves.
