Gene Simmons shows Romney some love

1/29/2012

_Gene Simmons appears to be sympathetic to Romney. He voted for Obama in the last cycle. He doesn't endorse but is open, as he says, to listening to the dialogue.

Simmons does say something I disagree with. He says that you should be taxed at 15% because if you invest you could lose. This is not what happened in the USA. The bailout of companies that engaged in risky practices was supported by the American taxapayer when they lost money. The whole "too big to fail" attitude had an effect.

It is not quite true that you could lose everything. In the US version of capitalism, companies get to privatize their profits and socialize their losses.

    My Pensées

    The title of this blog is an allusion to the famous work of Blaise Pascal.  This blog represents the variety of my interests and thoughts on any given day and are  strung together, like Pascal's Pensees, in no particular order. I work in the field of mental health,  education, and human rights. I write and am a human rights advocate. I enjoy poetry, jazz, spirituality, politics and a potpourri of other interests that you will see reflected in this blog.
