42. It's all based on half-truths, not facts.
The real truth is that the vast majority of Americans would like to have people who make over $102K pay their fair share of payroll taxes. Why do you think they don't pay their fair share now?

The vast majority of Americans would support tax breaks for working folks and students. Why do you think we don't already have those tax breaks?

The vast majority of Americans would love to invest more public funds in green energy. Why do you think we are not already doing that?

He leaves out the real reasons why the American people have not been able to achieve any of these goals, and so he can just belittle the solutions that Obama is offering, without ever even suggesting why Obama's solutions won't work, or if there is even anyone else offering an alternative solution.

I think Obama's way forward is the only way forward, whether Obama is elected or not. His solutions are the only solutions that make any sense. Everyone else is just blowing smoke.
