Romney World

What is life like in Romney World?  Apparently in Romney World there is a difference between “off-shoring” and “out sourcing”.  In the real world, loss of a job or lay-off is the same regardless of the reason.  In the real world, if you are employed and your employer decides you are no longer needed and thus no longer employed, the reason does not really matter as much as the need to figure out how you will keep a roof over your head and food on your table.  In Romney World, teachers, police, and firefighters are not “middle class” but government employees.  In Romney World, government employees are bad and there are too many of them. (What Romney fails to note is the irony that he will end up spending millions of dollars in his attempt to become a government employee.)  In Romney World, it is only necessary to claim there are solutions to all of our problems.  Romney continues to answer questions by saying he “has a plan” but never goes the distance by telling anyone just what that plan actually is and how that plan will actually solve the problem.  In many cases, when he has revealed the workings of his “plan” independent observations conclude the Romney plan makes things worse.  Romney World claims that he will do nothing to help the wealthy, but eliminating inheritance tax, capital gains taxes and further reducing the top marginal tax rates not only help the wealthy, but add to the deficit he claims to “plan” to eliminate.  Romney World also asserts that there is no need to help the poor because of the existence of a safety net, but Romney’s plan will result in massive cuts in funding for the various safety net programs.  Finally, even dogs question life in Romney World:
