Romney on Obama’s Belief in Redistribution

On September 20th, 2012, The Texas Insider posted an article revealing presidential candidate Mitt Romney's firm belief opposing Barack Obama's redistribution idea. Essentially, the Robin Hood approach has been implied through Obama's new idea, what with taking from the rich and giving to the poor but the way he introduces it gives away the assumption of a tax increase on the wealthy and a tax decrease on the middle-class. The idea sounds exciting for the majority of Americans and most people will see Romney as the devil, although the horns poking through his head show a little too much, he claims to know the middle-class all too well. He comes from a wealthy background and is seen to be making his ideas in his own favor. Vice presidential nominee for Romney, Paul Ryan stated that “President Obama said that he believes in redistribution. Mitt Romney and I are not running to redistribute the wealth, Mitt Romney and I are running to help Americans create wealth." No matter how hard a persuasion is, it will never succeed all the way through. I think this article is worth reading because, for one, it's entertaining to see how far a group of people will go to literally get ahead in life. Secondly, it shows both candidate's stand on the current issues of tax cuts.
