To me, it was kind of a draw. I thought Biden made a better case but his behavior was very distressing. I'm exactly the same age as Biden and I don't smirk and I don't interrupt, no matter my passion for a topic.
One side wants to "help the poor" with magical money. The other side wants to cut taxes since we have magical money.
In all my years as a magician, I was never able to increase my expenses or lower my income without serious consequences.
They both have SOME good ideas. Too bad we can't just pick the good ones without the bad coming along on the same order.
Depressing, really.
They both want to lower taxes on the middle class. Obama wants to increase taxes on the wealthy. The best way I can put this is you have 10 apples, 5 in each of 2 baskets. Obama wants to take two apples (taxes) out of one basket and put them into the other basket. You still have 10 apples. This doesn't address the deficit at all. The tax loopholes will still exist for the rich. Romney wants to lower taxes on everyone, while reducing the amount of loopholes the wealthy can take advantage of. In this fashion they will pay MORE in taxes than presently while the middle class pays less. This in addition to cutting superfluous spending will, hopefully, have a positive impact on the deficit. The Obama administration has not provided any logical plan that leads to the decrease in the deficit. These last 4 years are evidence of their "plan"'s failure to do what they claim it would.
