Back our efforts to provide Health Insurance to folks who dont have it. Its all about rolling back the Affordable Care act. This more than anything else seems to be with what the Republican Party stands for these days. I know its strange but one party would make some people uninsured the centerpiece of their agenda but that apparently is what it is.

First all of the bush era tax cuts would be eliminated. Bringing taxes on nearly every taxpayer and many businesses back to the preet2001 rates. The payroll tax c
Vice president of the progressive think tank, new York Democratic congressman and friend of the show jerry mather and msnbc contributor joy reed, managing editor of thegrio. Com. On a Conference Call with donors this week, portions of which were posted online by abc news mitt romney blamed his loss to president obama on what he calls gifts the president had given to core democratic constituencies like students, women, and latinos. What the president the president s campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote. Just note that, you know, doesnt actually cost any money but side point. Romneys framing of the president s Campaign Strategy is, of course, offensive but it is also not entirely inaccurate.
