ooby_dooby: Obama was off his game last night no doubt. Romney (notice I spelled his name correctly?) put on a good performance.
Beyond that I think the debate format was a mistake because it seemed to get out of control quite often. One thing I took away from the debate was it couldn't be more obvious that the tax code needs a MAJOR overhaul. This has been true for decades. Unfortunately, in this climate of political party polarisation in the country, I have no hope of that happening anytime soon. In fact, I think this is probably the worst time to tackle tax reform. I think it may be better to charge some big accounting firm to create a fair and balanced and simple tax code with no political ties to either party. Is it time for a flat tax?
ooby_dooby: I think the tax code should be such that anybody should be able to complete their tax form by themselves without having to hire a tax prep firm or CPA and it should be on 1 piece of paper.

Exactly!
I swear, Ooby. If hell keeps freezing over like this we really will have global warming!
epirb: Can't work Romney's healthcare plans out as his seem to be Obama's template . I listened to it on podcast radio and could not see how they behaved , Bama was by far the better speaker .
Glad there are people that can actually see, and listen, to obama and see he's such a loser, he's ruining the US economy and wants to do more damage. If you listened to the debate, and came away with any other conclusion, something is wrong.

The idiots, in Washington, won't give up the mess, called income tax, without a fight. Other firms of taxes don't give them the control they desire. As far as alternative taxes go I'm favoring the Fair Tax, it eliminates all other federal taxes and there would be no deductions from payroll checks. Our forefathers didn't include an income tax in our Constitution, didn't want there to be one.
epirb: don't you wish . How long has Romney had that speech impediment .His maths simply do not stack up . Guess he's going to need another accountant as there is a deduction for costs involved in moving jobs offshore .
I guess you missed, or had your fingers in your ears, when Romney said he wants to make jobs HERE! Also it was Obummer who kept getting the numbers all wrong as Romney said several times I have no $5 Tril tax cuts!!

The USA ran for 160 years on tariffs without any income taxes but to pay for wars here and there. There is no reason we can't go back to tariffs, all the more so because other countries tariff our goods. It is no biz of the Gov how we make. As "WE" pay these dinks in DC so much it's about time they "EARNED" that pay and got "us" off the hook to pay for everything and made the foreign companies pay for a change. Right now those companies skirt taxes doing a paper FU in a port before the goods get here. Tax being based on profit has a GIANT loophole built in. Tariffs made payable right there on the docks have no such loopholes. As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing a "fair" tax places on any US citizens earnings. Also google Tom Crier and see where he beat the IRS proving earnings are not taxable thats barter not income!

Webama sucked big time last night for several reasons: - he's nothing w/o a TelePrompTer - he competed with someone twice as smart - he was finally exposed for what he is... a marxist and a liar - no cheerleaders were allowed... Pee-brain Pelosi and scarey-reed were absent - Romney has been the better leader who even told he moderator most things would go at the communistic channel pbs

If that nutter Romney gets near the Oval office will the last person off the planet please turn the lights off hes scarier then Bush "2 and while we aare at it can we vote in England please cause whoever wins will be deciding British foreign policy for the next four years !
Willowdraga: If lying counts as "crushing" then I guess.... But he backtracked on all he had said before and just flat out lied most of the time.
Obama won on fact alone.
Obama is a serial liar! O can't speak more than 2 words without lying!! Remember his promise that if he wouldn't run for a second term if he failed to get things back on track? He didn't it's FAR worse being another $5 tril in debt!! So thats a lie!! O said he would cut the deficit in half? He doubled it!! So thats lie! I said he was for the middle class and then gave "OUR" money to banks for a bailout. O should have given "us" our money and let us pay off our houses, cars, credit cards ect! The money would still have gone to the banks but "we" would not be mired in debt. So O lied about being on the side of the middle class. O bailed out the car companies. Should have given "us" "our" money and let us go buy new cars. The money would have gone to the car companies and "WE" would have new cars. So again O lied about being on our side.
