Taxes

Aside from the obvious bias ("wealth investors, like Romney"), those polls are useless. Everyone that replies to those things is all of a sudden an economist.

In my own ignorant opinion, it seems like the loopholes and tax deductions are the biggest issue. Child tax credits, mortgage deductions, rent deductions, trusts, the easily exploited "business expense", and 10,000 other flaws are what is wrong.

exactly - I just read a recap of ROmneys taxes. He takes a ton in itemized deductions. As a working family, we get creamed by the AMT and I take very little in deductions. Is that fair?

You guys know I am for low taxes but the problem is broader than the easy answer of tax rates, we need an overhaul of the system Married working families get screwed.
