I can't vote yet but first, let me tell you this. Obama won in my school's mock election.
I took a computer test at school a few years ago that says I am a Republican, I guess I can see that in SOME ways. I'm moar of a 51/49

But to me, it seems like Mitt Romney doesn't care and Obama does more. Bush crashed U.S. down but Obama brought it up...

"Obama makes job losses"

Almost everything I get a notification on my iPhone from the New York times, it's (I forgot the exact words so lets put it this way) "People without jobs rate DECREASES (show new percentage here, I remember last time it was...) 12%"

I'm don't consider myself a "politic expert". I know the basics, like on how the U.S. works, all the branches, amendments. But everything above is from my knowledge and from things I've seen and read.

The reason for those 'decreases' is because once unemployment benefits run out, they no longer count you as unemployed. Real unemployment is around 22%. AHCA alone is responsible for much of employee cutbacks as businesses that are juuust big enough to not be considreed small but are by no means big cannot afford the extra cost of providing insurance. There are tons of construction projects ready to go - but only if Obama is voted out. Companies are literally waiting to see what happens in the elections before spending money on expanding. This has been the worst year ever for me work-wise. I was better off in 2009 when the crash was at its worst.

Wall Street crashed the USA, not Bush. 'Bammy turned around and filled his appointed positions in the White House with - wait for it - Wall Street bigwigs. Not-a-one from the Auto Sector, Energy, Oil, not one industry but finance was selected. His Cash for clunkers plan was designed to get us into payments - including interest to the banks. (The same guys who orchestrated the meltdown in the first place) Aside from that, it made no sense to me to encourage Americans to go get themselves into 5-7 years of payments while the economy was still shedding jobs like it was going out of style.

Obama also had nothing to do with the killing of Osama Bin Laden. He simply gave the green light to strike. Had he not, he knows darn well he would have thrown away any chance of reelection. 99.9% of the credit for that one goes to the Navy Seals and Military Intelligence. They are the ones who tracked him, found him, confirmed it, and made the kill.

Obama also continued to issues hundreds of thousands of Foreign Work Visas while jobs were being lost at a nearly unprecedented rate. He gave amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants while jobs were so scarce. He forced us to purchase healthcare at a time when unemployment was at near all time highs. Nothing about his policies scream 'for The Good of the Country' to me.

lastly, Obama passed his AHCA by representing it as a tax to the Supreme Court, then turning around and telling the American People that it is not a tax. He had to do it this way because Congress would not agree - not even his Democrats. Instead, he represented it as a tax and therefore under his scope of suthority by the Fair Trade Act, stating that everyone was already in the market for Health Care. Then he said that not everyone would need it, and those would pay for those who do need it. Very contradictory statements.

I could go on and on about Obammy; Ive done a ridiculous amount of research and fact checking. More so than any other election Ive ever been old enough to participate in. But, Ill leave it at that.

All that said, Romney does not have the good of the people in mind either. I do not agree with repealing the AHCA, though I definitely disagree with how it was implemented. I do not agree with his voucher system for medicare, nor cuts to SSI. What I do agree with is lowering the Corporate tax rate, which is the highest in the Developed World. Japan suffered a 20 year long recession because of their Corporate Tax rate - which used to be the highest in the world. They lowered it and reformed their tax code and immediately began recovering. The USA is going to go down the same path if we retain a 39% Corporate Tax rate. 2 Decades of recession...or more, unless something is done to stimulate sustainable growth.

So, in a nutshell, both candidates are turds. Ron Paul FTW.
