Romney's 5 Point Triangle

I was gone for a minute, now I'm back! Haha Wow, I didn't realize how much free time I had this past summer. Fall semester started with a BOOM and I haven't had time to post anything on my blog *sad face* But, I am currently on fall break and I think I am able to squeeze a post or two in this week.

In light of the debates last night, I thought I'd post my take on Romney's 5 Point Plan, in case you were wondering 

                                                                                        "What will it really do?"

I even put it in a table for all you visual learners out there :-) (including myself!)

Point	Rationale	Result
Increase Military Spending!	It’s the male part extension of America, let’s make it bigger! Oh, America is a man btw	Troops will stay over-seas
Cut Taxes for ALL!	Mo’ Money, Mo’ Money, Mo’ Money! *in my Damon Wayans voice*	Mo’ money in your pockets = more money for you to spend which in turn should theoretically boost the economy; but this does not help pay the past due bills America is drowning in (deficits)
Cut Tax Deductions Available to Middle Class!	You don’t really need those silly deductions like the education credit, do you? Come on, they’re not that helpful.	Yes, we will lower your taxes, but also take your deductions. So middle class, you really don’t end up with Mo’ Money in your pockets…it’s just an illusion. Ta da!!
Individualism and Individual Rights for ALL!	It’s your money, you can do what you want to/do what you want to/ dooo what you want to *sings in my Lesley Gore voice*	Unless you use it towards an abortion, contraception, or a gay/lesbian marriage license; Tough break women and gays.
Keep Healthcare and Education the Way it IS!	Why go disturb a system that is OBVIOUSLY working! Duh..	Education and health care will remain in a “free-market” like system where Mo’ Money = better health care and education. So, you poor people better get out there and WERK for your doctor visits when you are ill and that high ACT score that will get you or your kids in college

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Romney or republicans are bad people; I just think they have no desire to focus on social issues or relate to middle/lower class individuals. Here's my theory: if the economy was a marriage, American policies would be the husband and the middle class would be the wife/mother; if mama's not happy, no one is. Hahaha okay, I stretched that one a bit. But my point is, the middle class makes up most of the population. If I were running for president...I'd try and get them on my side with honest, streamline policies. 

Anyway republicans are going to vote republican as democrats are going to vote democrat. I didn't really post this to sway anyone, just giving my educated guess on what would happen if Romney won....basically nothing would change. 

I'm voting for Obama because he came into presidency during a time where America was like a beat up rag doll. He has spent the first 2-3 years in presidency reorganizing healthcare, getting troops out of Iraq/Afghanistan, and eliminating al qaeda and their leader (he who must not be named, I mean Lord Voldemort, I mean Osama). However, the last year he has been preparing for re-election....now Obama is a great man, but he is also a politician. Heck, he wants to win too! So of course, he is going to focus some major energy on getting re-elected, even if that means pulling some tricks out of his hat....I don't think that this makes him dishonest or a bad person, I think it makes him a human politician.  That is why my friend J.D. and I propose to change the presidential term to 8 years instead of 4 (if I go down, my friend is going down with me haha). That way, the president will run the country for 6-7 years the way he/she originally planned to. We would be able to see the results of their work because the time frame will be longer. We will not  have to worry about whether a policy/huge political move was created to honestly help the country or be used as ammo for re-election. I'm voting for Obama so he can finish what he set out to do....create a CHANGE in order to try to make a POSITIVE difference in the lives of American people.
