If President Obama runs on ending tax cuts for the rich in 2012 will it |
|

discourage a third party candidate from running? If 60% of americans are for ending those specific tax cuts and 40% for tax cuts for the rich then that leaves no room in the middle for people to vote for a third presidential candidate. Where he/she would be for or against the tax cuts they would just make the presidential candidate on the opposite side of the issue win the presidential election. A third party presidential candidate would just split the vote on whichever side of the issue he/she favours. IMHO. So no third party candidate would toss his/her hat into the race.
......I'm not sure if I was clear enough in my explanation.

1. If he cant (or wont) do it now in the midst of the GOP/Dems harping about a deficit |
|
Who would believe him by 2012?

3. If Obama runs with that promise, I want him to revert all tax cuts to the rich to pre-Reagan era |

after all, we need to demolish 30+ years of Republican domination and make them completely irrelevant and the rich set aside so they pay everything or face prison with complete loss of all assets.

5. He could do it standing on his head & many here will not vote. |
