• MITT'S TAX RETURNS
    American public still wants to know more about Gov Romney's tax returns. He may be as much a criminal as our governor Rick Scott was---and he got elected.

  • $1 = $1
    Our tax code today says an Investor's income is so critical to the US Economic Engine that, after appropriate taxes, 85% should be left for the Investor. To do with as they please and which can be re-invested, saved or spent inside or outside our country; each of these with a completely different economic impact. But whatever they choose, through the tax code, we are saying that giving the Investor greater control of their $1 is a benefit to everyone and in the end becomes an economic "tide that will lift all boats". For Wage Income, since it has much less benefit to society, we only allow the Wage Earner to keep 64% of their income. This petition isn't necessarily about how I have been affected, more how our society unfairly treats Wage Income compared with Investment Income. I think it is time to take a stand against one of the most unequal aspects of our tax code. With this petition I hope to start a conversation that leads to a wider understanding and eventually to change. I submit this on behalf of anyone who's income comes from wages.

  • Limit the interest rates that Credit Cards can charge
    Most states have "usury" laws that limit the maximum interest rates that consumers can be charged for consumer transactions. However, due to a law originally passed in 1863, credit card companies can get around this law by simply incorporating in states such as Delaware- which have no limits on the interest rates that can be charged- and "exporting" whatever interest rate they wish to charge to anywhere in the country. This law should now be reprealed and local "usury" laws should set the maximum amount that consumers can be charged by the credit card companies.

  • Romney's failures as Mass. Governor
    Romney was a failure as governor because he increased the state's debt, made the state 47th in job creation, increased fees instead of taxes and ridiculed the state in speeches around the country while still governor.

  • It's UnAmerican to be against the improving economy
    Do you believe the Republicans are dissing the lower unemployment rate? They're saying it's manipulated. They don't want the economy to improve. That is UnAmerican! It proves they don't care about you and me. In my town, we are finally seeing home prices go up. Two of my friends got jobs last month after being out of work. That's progress no matter how you look at it!

  • Obama: You cited the unemployment rate before..
    President Obama is prepping for his second debate against Mitt Romney. Romney has been citing the unemployment numbers all this time. Now he's downplaying latest number, 7.8%. It's not surprising that he was happy to talk about the figure when it was above 8%. Sure, the country could use more jobs, but the fact is that when the president took office, we were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs per month. The fact is that that during the Obama presidency, we've added jobs. Would we like to speed things up? Sure, but remember what Clinton said at the convention. The republicans feel we didn't clean up their mess quickly enough, so they want back in. Not going to happen. Let the president know that we need him to defend the progress we've made. Let him know that you want him to, "be clear" about how far we've really come since dems won the white house in 2008. We're almost there, lets not let Romney's false claims determine the winner of this election.

  • Review Capital Gains vs Income tax rates
    Why are coupon clippers subsidized with low capital gains tax rate, by income tax payers, who actually work for their income? If our society is committed to a productive citizen ethic, worker bees should be the ones subsidized by the coupon clippers, who, at most accept financial risk for their investments!

  • Jobs for Veterans Program
    Senator Lamar Alexander voted to block one billion dollars to fund the Jobs for Veterans Program. Why when the State of Tennessee has so much homelessness and unemployment and could benefit from these programs? I had two sons serve in the Army Infantry Division during Iraqi Freedom and when they returned home they could not find jobs. Either they didn't have the skills or the qualification requirements for the better paying jobs.There was no special training programs nor anyone to help them adjust to civilian life. That is why this money is so important to our veterans returning today that they get the skills and training they need to find a good, well paying job. If these funds are allowed and these programs are in place, our state will benefit with improvement in unemployment and homelessness. It's a win, win. Senator Alexander, please take the time to reconsider your vote.

  • GET TOUGH!
    Jim Lehrer should be ashamed of the job he supposedly did as a so-called "Moderator" and should be called out on it! As such, President Obama needs to and should go on the Offensive from now on, as Governor Romney showed that he was no different than the rest of the Republicans by not showing any respect for the President, by not allowing the Moderator or President Obama to have the last word, as the rules were stipulated and as common sense and gentlemen usually abide by! He showed his true colors of wanting to be a bully, as usual, and not really "reach across the aisle" to Democrats, as he mentioned, when he couldn't even stop talking everytime the President had the last word! No wonder why the President had to keep smiling and "ask" for a rebuttal from the moderator, and then ask the Moderator to move on, if Governor Romney couldn't stop trying to have the last word, just like an immature, childish, spoiled brat likes to do when arguing with authority figures!
