The American Debate: TO NOVEMBER AND AFTER
It was in the fall of 2010, during a break in the taping of a TV talk show,
when I first heard the GOP's operative theory about the election of 2012. A
conservative activist leaned toward me with a smile and excitedly intoned
two magic words:
"Jimmy Carter."
And there it was. The template for beating Barack Obama would be Ronald
Reagan's victory over the beleaguered Democratic incumbent of 1980. Indeed,
Mitt Romney's people keep insisting that, just like in 1980, a bad economy
will trigger a late surge toward the Republican challenger, and game over.
But with our presidential election just seven weeks away, the flaws in the
Romney game theory have become glaringly obvious:
1. By several significant measures, today's economy isn't as bad as it was
in 1980.
2. Barack Obama is not Jimmy Carter.
3. Mitt Romney - do I really need to say this? - is not Ronald Reagan.
Those of us who were adults in 1980 remember what the economy was like. The
jobless rate back then seems tame by today's standards (it was roughly 7
percent), but the real issue was the inflation rate. Today it is minimal; in
1980, it was nearly 16 percent. That was Carter's main economic albatross.
Whether you had a job or not, you got whacked big time whenever you went to
the supermarket. And everyone was still sore about the energy crisis of 1979
, when it became necessary to queue up in long lines just to pump gas. | y****t

发帖数: 956 | 6 Here is the simple reason why middle class has to pay more tax.
There are only three people left in the US, the poor does not pay tax so you
can't count on them. The rich has been paying too much so their tax needs
to be cut, they also make huge sacrifice to invest their hard earn money to
create jobs that middle class is dependent on to feed their family. So it is
Middle class's fair share and moral requirement to pay more tax.
