DES MOINES — Mitt Romney’s visit to the Iowa State Fair on Thursday may have been the best debate prep session he could’ve hoped for.

Romney’s appearance at the fair’s soapbox grew unusually testy when in a question-and-answer session a few angry people heckled the Republican presidential candidate over his declaration not to raise taxes. They urged the campaign frontrunner to raise taxes on the wealthy to help fund entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare.

1. SS and mediacare have always been paid for, no need to "fund" them...

What is needed is some enforcement to prevent the wealthy from welching on the debt they owe to those programs that funded their tax breaks, wars and corporate giveaways.

2. Soylent Green is people too...

Only much more palatable than corporations.

3. A gent on facebook suggests that corporations should then have to serve jury duty.
