	http://www.salon.com/2012/01/17/why_do_the_republicans_nominate_blue_bloods/ "Nor does Republicanomics serve the interests of captains of industry. If the Republican economic plan were drafted by CEOs of American-based companies that actually make things, rather than rearrange money, it would not necessarily please liberals but it would bear little resemblance to the rentier-friendly plans pushed by the Wall Street right. The emphasis would be on a permanent R&D tax credit, lower corporate taxes, depreciation allowances, public infrastructure investment, policies to lower the costs of energy and other inputs, dollar devaluation and other policies to promote the inshoring of production in America. Genuine captains of industry would not assign priority to estate tax relief and low capital gains taxes for the benefit of the trust fund set like the Bushes and Romneys. The conclusion is inescapable. The Republican Party is not really a pro-business party at all. It is a pro-hereditary wealth party. Its platform serves the interests of those few Americans who are born into wealth and seek to preserve their fortunes, not those who start new companies or invent new technologies. Naturally, therefore, the partyâ€™s presidential candidates are chosen nowadays from among the pedigreed, hereditary social elite who are the chief beneficiaries of its policies." Pretty damning and accurate. The Republican economic platform is mainly about helping rich people, not about helping business.

	That website was absolutely the most unbiased I have ever been to. I especially liked the attack on his hair products. I guess that makes sense being named salon.com "The elitist history of Mitt Romneyâ€™s slick hair Is grease good? His hairstyle reminds us of Gordon Gekko, film's top vulture capitalist, but goes back further" -----signature----- "well honestly i didnt learn "jw" on the net i learned it from multiple females that have texted me. but keep on truckin broheim."

	You can't refute an argument by pointing to the speaker. An unreliable or biased source may suggest you shouldn't trust the facts. But the only facts in the article are undisputed and have to do with Republicans favoring things like lower capital gains taxes and abolishing the death tax.

	You do realize that Obama is related to Bush and Cheney. 9th and 11th cousins or something like that. http://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/are-obama-and-cheney-related/ -----signature----- I'm not old, I'm crunchy.

	Articles in descending order on your sites front page: ~Why do the Republicans nominate blue bloods? The potent combination of Jacksonian populism and old money oligarchy ~Romney gave millions of dollars to Mormon church Including in the form of lucrative pieces of Bain Capital investment deals ~The elitist history of Mitt Romneyâ€™s slick hair Is grease good? His hairstyle reminds us of Gordon Gekko, film's top vulture capitalist, but goes back further ~Mr. One Percentâ€™s wealth and tax troubles Mitt Romney's speaking fees alone lift him out of the 99 percent, but he says $374,000 in a year is "not very much" ~South Carolina, the troublemaker Republicans campaign for votes in a state that is proud, reactionary and a little crazy ~Capitalismâ€™s real â€œrisk-takersâ€ Workers, not Romney's bailed-out Wall Street CEOs, are the ones actually putting their livelihoods on the line ______________________________________________ Why would I pretend to have an argument based on a site like that? That is unashamed bias on its grandest scale and set to pander to a specific world opinion. No reason to argue with someone that is not looking for an argument, only a reaffirmation to their already solidified views. -----signature----- "well honestly i didnt learn "jw" on the net i learned it from multiple females that have texted me. but keep on truckin broheim."
