Many people (mostly dems) talk about fair share but none, yet to date, have actually defined what is fair. This is similar to the question, 'Have you stopped beating your wife?" Go away, little man.

As Warren Buffet has said... class warfare has already been going on for decades and his class (the super rich) is winning.  Reaganomics is to blame.  Why is it only “class warfare” when the 99% fight back?

Kerry is worth a hundred million plus as well (because of his wife) so I hardly think sending $25,000 offshore in 1983 is comparable to parking a big part of your wealth and income overseas as possibly Romney is doing.

As part of the ACA bills, their is a reduction in Medicare payments of about $500 bn to Providers, but no actual reduction in Medicare itself. A very big difference. No cut in benefits, but only a cut in costs. I think you need to check your own facts.

The Commerce Department said starts fell 4.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 657,000 units. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast housing starts edging down to a 680,000-unit rate in December. Starts of buildings with five or more units dropped 27.8 percent to a 164,000-unit rate, the biggest drop since February. Tempering the overall decline, groundbreaking on single-family buildings rose 4.5 percent to a 470,000-unit rate. Permits fell 0.1 percent to an annual rate of 679,000 units. "Housing continues to bounce along at the bottom, suggesting that housing is not going to recover for several years to come. If we are relying on housing to drive this recovery it seems we will continue on this tepid path for a very long time," said Lindsey Piegza, an economist at FTN Financial in New York.
