Romney intends to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security

A plea from my friend Andrea Schnitzer. We've known each other since fourth grade.

Andrea married a charming devil who cheated on her their entire marriage. Finally, he left her and their two kids. He's $65,000 dollars behind in child support. So far behind that he was arrested last year. He's avoided paying by refusing to get a job and living off another woman (a doctor). The doctor lady appears to be paying the court-ordered $200 a month child support. Andrea's been forced to move in with her mother.

Last year Andrea was diagnosed with stage four cancer, at the age of 42. She says:

"Please vote for Obama. because if Romey wins I firmly believe that I will lose medicaid under him and that is just condemning me to death. I already have a potential death sentence on me (stage 4 colon cancer - metasized to my liver). Medicaid is keeping me alive and mostly out of debt."


She is correct. Romney does plan to cut her healthcare.

- Romney promises to cut Medicaid.

A friend of mine who has moved in the circles of the very rich told me that in his experience, those who inherited their wealth tended to be Republican and anti-tax. He posited that they don't want to "lose" their money to taxes because they wouldn't know how to replace it.

Those he knew who became rich from ingenuity and work were generally Democrats. They knew how to build wealth--they'd done it before and could do it again. And they knew that a more equitable distribution of money was better for their business. One guy outright told him, "If you gave me the choice of cutting my taxes in half or doubling social spending, I'd vote for the social spending. More money in people's pockets means more customers for my business. I make so much more money off of new customers, it far and away is better for my bottom line than cutting my taxes."
