I guess I don't understand money.

I think that is a problem with people who weren't raised having a lot.
Being in a large family that is not homeless poor, but qualifying for welfare and free lunch at school etc can teach someone a lot about humility, frugality and sharing.

I don't like politics. I have never voted. I don't like that a nation that is supposed to be united can be so torn and have such split views. For example, I think politicians go against their own beliefs and morals to get the vote of their party. This year is the first year I have really cared, AND IM NOT IN AMERICA.

That all being said, you might be able to tell that I am strongly against Romney. That dude seems like a huge douche bag. HUGE. I really feel like the only people who are backing him are 1. white supremacists, 2. mormons, 3. people who make at least 6 figs.

Being a mormon (not the best one I know), I find it appalling that Romney justifies his lies. Luckily the liar will be thrust down to hell (hopefully a different hell than me). He feels that half the country are moochers?! Really, I mean its not like he is using every loophole he can find to pay the least amount of taxes or taking advantage of every tax break he can. Who wouldn't if it was legal, right?

I agree that many people who do not need it are receiving welfare. Those things need to be looked at, but it sounds like (I could be wrong) that Romney is against any support. What does he think people are supposed to do? I understand that people don't want to pay for people's fake nails -as said by some motard on my facebook (geez that has got annoying!)

I'm just sitting here baffled that there is enough money circulating in America for unnecessary things to pay off our country's debt and deficit. Congress signed a pledge not to raise taxes on the high class, but my question is, why doesn't the higher class just give it to their country or donate it? What is so hard about bailing out the country that permitted you the opportunity to be as rich as you are? People make millions every year and I can't think of any lifestyle that requires that much money.

I remember having a conversation in seminary about the difference between rich and wealthy. Rich people are not hurting for anything and can have pretty much whatever they want. Wealthy people have so much money they don't know what to do with it so it sits there and accumulates.

I KNOW there are plenty of people out there with TONS of money just accumulating, and they will never in their mortal life see where all of it will go. They are upset that people with less opportunity want opportunity or a better life. I also feel like they know that in order to stay rich, other people need to stay poor.

I also just want to remind people who are going crazy about obama being a socialist and his robin hood mentality that ROBIN HOOD WAS A HERO. And Romney is forgetting about a higher law in mormon doctrine when he is against wealth distribution. THE LAW OF CONSECRATION. thats right, the near communist law that was almost put in place in the doctrine and covenants that talks about how families will labor and they will only keep the earnings they need to sustain their family and the rest will go to the church to be distributed to the less fortunate. Everyone works hard and everyone gets what they need. Romney has a skewed vision of need, and suffering. I'm wondering if it was back in bible times and Romney was that rich merchant guy who came to Jesus and said he was righteous all his life and what more he do, if he wouldn't be just like him and not be able to forsake his riches because he had also "worked all his life to earn them". You can't take your dollaz to heaven, son.

There are flaws in every form of government and there are valid and positive ideas in them all as well. I believe in a lot of the views that Obama has, but I don't have enough politi-smarts to know if all his promises can be kept. Jill Stein looks more like my kinda leader.

Peace to all, and no more facebook posts, please.
