	That's like saying Big Macs are independent of heart attacks.

	Here's something interesting about Romney: he wants to raise taxes on the poor. The GOP advocates the poor getting off welfare and working, and they advocate giving incentives to the rich in the form of tax breaks. So it just seems a little contradictory to me that Romney would want to raise taxes on the poor.

	Wow I didn't know that. I'm not voting for him now. I mean, I'm doing alright for someone living in poverty, but I'd like to hold on to what I can to repay my student loans when I finish school.

	Tax hike the poor? Heh, idiot. Yeah, once they finally get a job to support themselves off of he wants them to pay more so they get put back on welfare? Then that tax money gets given back to them through government programs. How bout just not take their money in the first place? Real smart, Romney. >:P Dude, between Obama and the rest of the remaining GOP candidates, I'm thankful I don't have to vote this year now.

	Well I think it is good that the government takes care of its people. I actually recieve food stamps, and having that taken care of has allowed me to save away money to eventually repay the loans I've taken out.
