Mr. Vanilla.

Just keep it on the fairway. Don't get too far away from the status quo... we wouldn't want to rock the boat. We just need a few tweaks here and there.

Mitt Romney's 'timid' tax plan - Jan. 5, 2012

In fact, Romney is the lone Republican candidate who has not proposed modifying current tax brackets or substantially reducing income tax rates. Instead, he has articulated only a vague promise to pursue a future plan with "lower, flatter rates on a broader base."

Even President Obama's fiscal commission, which won plaudits from both sides of the aisle, planned to lower individual rates across the board while eliminating special deductions and loopholes. Under that plan, the top rate paid by individuals would have dropped from 35% to 23%.

On corporate taxes, Romney favors higher rates than his competitors. Romney's 25% proposed rate carries a less aggressive reduction than that of Gingrich (12.5%), Perry (20%), Rick Santorum (17.5%) or Ron Paul (15%).

Romney is too the left of Obama when it comes to taxes. He actually wants to keep everything like it is.

We Have $15.2 Trillion in debt and just exceeded 100% of our GPD. Up from $15 Trillion a month ago. We need income and 25% is a competitive corp tax rate

There are PLENTY of cuts that can be made in spending.

Yeah. I don't think many people considered the 90s to be an era of fiscal responsibility. If we removed income tax we'd still generate more tax revenue than we did in the 90s. The only way to balance the budget is cutting spending. There is no other way. This is the reality.

This is the first Republican debate I've been able to catch... Rick Perry wants to return to Iraq? What a joke...

So is Santorum. "Mr. Paul, if we followed your foreign policy then we wouldn't have had ships there to rescue [the Iranian fishermen]." An obvious reply? "Mr. Santorum, that's Iran's problem to begin with, not ours. We did a humanitarian action."

I couldn't agree more.

How does Huntsman think we can win back manufacturing jobs? Please, tell me HOW it's going to be done, not just that you will do it. These debates are worthless.

The problem is that those jobs are just disappearing. Efficiency dissolves jobs.

John Huntsman, if you believe in the "pursuit of happiness," then why don't you support marriage equality?

Is it just me, or do they all pretty much look the same? Except for Ron Paul who's really old and Santorum who actually looks like he's gay... how old is he?

Simple. We force China to no longer depress their dollar and it causes a manufactoring boom over night.

And yes, we could force them to do so whether they liked it or not.

It makes them look like they're unconnected with average people. It's not a big deal, but still a thing the average guy knows.
