Finally, Someone Who Speaks to Me

Video deleted because of poor formating on Mitt's part. Screw him. Plus I just heard this commercial on NPR. Seriously, does Mitt need the 30 free seconds? It's not like he actually says anything. He's going to fix the economy by making it strong. By cutting taxes. And putting people and businesses first.

Only the multi-millionaire son of a multi-millionaire has the credentials to speak to me about living in the "real economy." Nothing says "I know that you worry about declining home values, increasing mortgage payments, your car payments, your kids' college education, your student loan bills, needing a new roof, the cost of health care, the lack of health care, the fact that your dad has saved $0 for his retirement, the rising cost of electricity, rising gas prices, rising milk prices, rising food (all inclusive) prices, the weakness of the dollar, and all the other things you worry about" quite like having organized an Olympics. I mean, if he can pull off a Winter Olympics(!), then I know that he's got the right plan for helping me with all my needs.

I rocked it on over to Mitt's site just to find out what he's got in store for me, economy-wise and I think his Salt Lake City experience is paying off. Mitt thinks the economy is broken. I agree. He thinks we need real solutions from Washington. I agree. He has pledged to fix the economy by making the economy strong. This seems like a very good start. He's going to change things by cutting taxes. I thought we tried that. Then he's going to cut taxes for businesses. Which is more tax cutting. And then he's going to cut taxes for businesses that hire people over the age of 65. Which will help increase unemployment, which I must admit, is not what I had in mind. And then he's going to do other things to help business create jobs, which will only have the unintended consequence of helping businessmen make more money. Which is, again, not exactly what I had in mind.

But then, I remember that anyone who could bring me this, knows what I need maybe a little bit better than I do.

Sounds good to me! What's not to love about his credentials? From a well-to-do and well-connected family? Check. Ran some businesses? Check. Picked up an MBA from Harvard along the way? Check. Involved in some big-time sports management? Check. Governor of an influential state, showing he truly is nation-leading material? Check. I can't see how we could possibly go wrong with someone of that background.
