Mona: Get the facts straight. The 47% are the ones who do not pay taxes or get money back from the government because the make "too little". The retired, the parents with a child deduction all PAY taxes on their income. Including Social Security, their pensions, etc. It is the 47% who have no skin in the game that Romney was referring to. Why would they vote against a President openly running on the theme that he wants to redistribute the wealth. Take from the makers and give to the takers is exactly what is happening and did happen here.

This post was written by Barack Obama, aka the goshdam liberal and current liar in chief.

You are a damn fool and have no idea what a conservative does since you are not one. Conservatives give FAR more money to causes and to the less fortunate than liberals, whose answer is to give away the money of others through profligate spending on every whim or whimper of every group screaming about its "unfair" that something they don't.. There are books and articles written on this subject. Let those in the private sector earn the money and they will usually provide for the less fortunate. In any event, is not the province of government to take from one group and give to another, however noble the reason may be. Government is not a religion. Let the Nuns encourage people to give, but not take.

What the hell does your comment have to do with 2012, which is 67 years later. I do not need to read another book on slavery to know Dr. Williams is correct in his analysis of what is happening today. We are not discussing the issue of slavery which died in 1865. White people died for the blacks to be free in the costliest war of the history of this land. We just elected a black President. He has been Abominable. Your Press is protecting him and minorities. If whites did what blacks do, jas Dr. Williams notes with examples, they would be castigated all over the country. Address comments here to the subject of the article, not what you want to talk about. Its a waste of time for everyone.

I care. Because I have a daughter and feel the same way. You apparently have no children and no sense either. Posting this reply shows what a lack of understanding you have about being a father. Even your Messiah Obama understands that much.( Not much else though.)

You left out the most important reason why racial preferences are to be shunned. Its because they are UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It is a denial of equal protection of the law to provide preferences for anyone based on race, color or national origin and that is exactly what the social engineers at our top universities and colleges have been doing for years. NO exceptions anymore. Stand on your own two feet and your own merits, not the blood of some ancestor 5 generations removed.

Good job Hugh. This is what Mitt needs to do in the election cycle. Daily. Obama is characterized by these and other one sentence descriptions of his utter failures. Add to the list windmills , algae, tax the wealthy, spread the wealth, Google and Facebook exist due to government, go back to the pre-1967 borders, Bush's fault, and a few other flights of fantasy by Obama and the country might get the picture. The key is to give Mitt the spine to actually call him out on these multitudinous failures.

Did you ever consider the increase in value of the stock in addition to the dividend? Look at the price of the stock. Its all part of the investment. 4% in todays market is not a bad return of income to shareholders as well. What is your money market or bank or Credit union paying? You need an advisor Bud.
