Joe Biden was making the false argument again today that Romney wants to raise taxes on the middle class. But in doing so, he admitted that the middle has had it really rough over the last four years, something Romney completely agrees with:

After the speech Romney tweeted this out:

To admit that the middle class has been buried for the last four years is to admit that your policies have failed, no matter how you spin it. Thanks Joe!

November is almost here.

I love Joe. He's really in touch with the little people.

After Joe buried the middle class, he also said this in the very next sentence:

"How in lord’s name can they justify raising their taxes with these tax cuts?”

Is raising taxes with "tax cuts" like spending your way out of debt?

I swear, this Biden character has an intellect only a Democrat could love.

Yes Joe, during the last four years, you and Obama have buried the middle class under a mountain of debt, regulations, cronyism, and pure incompetence. The air is getting thin down here. We won't survive another four years of the same.

Romney's Tweet should be Vote for Romney/Ryan, help us take the shovel out of 0bama's&0biden's hands, they have buried the middle class with DEBT for far too long.

Ah, the landslide of government regulation on utilities and business related components buries the middle class. Thanks Joe for pointing out the obvious not that you would ever understand what it's like to have the 800 pound gorilla and his family jumping on your back.

Seriously, what an ass-clown Biden is. Face it, politics is one career Joe should have avoided, too late for that.

How in the Lord's Name can the people sitting behind him keep straight faces when he says, "when the middle class has been buried the past 4 years" is beyond me.

Biden will be sucking on his thumb on one hand, while pulling the rest of his plugs out of his head with the other. That's going to be interesting to see the differences in questioning from the inqui...er, moderators. I can hear it right now:

Joe Biden, what color is the blue sky?

Blue.

Excellent answer, you sure put a lot of thought into that. You are brilliant.

Paul Ryan, why did Romney put his family dog on the roof of his car? That doesn't show much compassion, in fact it is incredibly oppressive to the dog, and frankly, PETA ought to call for an investigation. What do you have to say?

At least he didn't eat his family dog.

Time's up. Would you like a rebuttle mr. Biden?

This is the result of the closing State Sanitariums in Delaware 25 years ago although the act did reduce taxes on the middle class in that state, all 17 of them.

To understand the scope of how "buried" the middle class has been (and by extension, obviously, anyone in the "por" class that wants to get out of it), take a look at the latest chart over at Doug Ross' site, showing how many people are out of work and want a job "right now".

(The chart comes courtesy of the EconomicPopulist website, and was put together by Robert Oak - click the chart when you are don reading Doug's article, and it will take you to the source code for it at EP--recommended reading)

The data comes from the FRED dataset (Federal Reserve Economic Data). Doug 'splains it gooder than I should bother with, so go read it there!

403,000 people who would like to have a job, but they are not part of the "unemployed" statistics for August. How convenient.

freenca

The pols have an upside down way of looking at numbers, that is why the majority of them think a tax cut for tax-payers is a tax cut for their idiot spending habits, so they do not get that we out here are not as irresponsible as they are. They really should take basic accounting!! I know that Paul Ryan has. ;-)

And Romney did the same approving of O'Bambi's EO for DREAM illegals.

kong1967
kong1967

This is going to be one area that is going to interesting to see how Romney handles it. Amnesty will not fly over well with his voters.

There are a group of illegals that I want to help. The ones that were brought here, illegally, by their parents when they were very young and now they are adults with no other home than here. They only have memories of America. On one hand I say "too bad, blame your parents", but on the other it would be very cruel to send them back to Mexico when they have no ties to it.

Send their parents back, and if they want to stay with the family then they must go, too. No more of this anchor baby crap and allowing the law breakers to stay because the child is American. If the child is still a minor, send him back with his parents.

That is odd that the muslim women aren't accompanied by muslim men.

Lol, he got me to change my mind. Never fear, I'm back to believing they all should be deported...period. It's not our fault their parents broke the law, and we have sovereignty we have to protect.

kong1967
kong1967

You know, that was a very good answer. Not long ago I was gung-ho on deporting all of them no matter what because they come here and pop out baby after baby and we would have to give amnesty to a bunch of people that did not commit the crime themselves (their parents did). But, my mom talked to me for a while about it and softened me up some and I gave in.

Listening to you explain it, I think you are right. I was wrong to change my mind to begin with, because (as you say) we do it to illegals from England and Canada.

Thanks for getting me back on track. I knew I was veering off a solid conservative belief anyway.

white531

In spite of which side of this argument you come down on, my prediction is that it will never be solved. The ones that are here will remain here and they will be joined by millions more.

If that in itself, is not depressing, the worst part is, that the open border with Mexico is where the Muslim Hordes will enter this country to begin infiltrating our major cities. Actually, it is happening already. It is not unusual here in Tucson, to see Muslim women walking down the streets in full Muslim regalia. The odd thing is, they are never accompanied by Muslim men. I have no idea why.

white531
white531

I agree. The world the Progressives have created, is a world in which there are no consequences for bad behavior or poor life choices. In fact, the reverse is often true. They are rewarded.

Orangeone

I'm harder than you are.  There can be no benefit from an illegal act.  Yes their parents purportedly brought them here but that's tough. If it was a family from England or Canada, they are fully deported. The same needs to be true for Mexicans.  Families receive tax credits (money) from taxpayers for their family members in Mexico even if they pay no taxes so they all still have ties to that country and have been financially benefiting off you and me because of those ties.  Pack up and leave.  Apply for citizenship 10 years from now as long as they are younger than age 40.  Other countries have this policy and they are solvent.  Reagan created this mess and we need to reverse it.
