This discussion only diverts from the real issue--the economy. If yesterday's CBO projections mean anything, we need radical ( meaning non-Obama) changes or we are in deep doo doo. ( Pardon the economic jargon.) If taxes go up, then unemployment goes up and we all suffer.

I believe there are multitudes of people whose vote can be swayed by social issues.
And why is the 'real issue' the economy? Because that is what's most important to you? or the Romney campaign?
Everyone has their own hierarchy of important political issues, and not all of them are economic.
I believe the the republican talking points regarding the economy are their best guess for trying to unseat Obama.
If they thought they could beat him by focusing on dancing ponies, Romney would be wearing spurs.
What kind of taxes cause increased unemployment? Do you have any basis for this statement?
So we cut taxes on the wealthy and then our economy magically recovers? And us middle class slobs pick up the tab again.... no thanks.
Smoke and mirrors. It will give more money to the wealthiest, do nothing for the poorest, and poke the middle right in the seat...
