Romney Camp: Why we will get the youth vote.

[krazen1211]

The 25 years old and living in mommy's basement vote certainly won't go for Romney. They stand to gain too much from Uncle Barry providing for them.

The 25 years old and working vote has too much to lose from outrageous current and future taxes to pay for current levels of spending.

LOL krazen. I guess I'm a likely Romney voter.

Certainly you are voting against your own interests if you are otherwise.

Social Security is now set to run out of money in 2033. Sorry to be you I suppose!

Romney's promised increases in defense and tax cuts at the upper brackets will contribute greatly to Social Security's stability.

Well, we've already seen what has happened to such under current policy. In addition of course, trillions of dollars of spending to provide additional healthcare spending by the government will have to come out of the pockets of BTRD, who I would think seeks to be an upper bracket taxpayer in the years ahead.

The paul ryan plan does an excellent job of reducing medicare and medicaid spending.

I strongly encourage Romney to campaign heavily on the Paul Ryan plan, which cuts medicare and medicaid spending by decree (we will cut x%, and cut everything else by 80%) without explaining how that would happen or would translate into changes policies. But if Romney wants to lose the one age group he's guaranteed to win against Obama, running on cutting Medicare would be helpful, which is why he's not going to do it.

Certainly Medicare and Medicaid are programs where youngs and poors have to pay more and more tax while the the far wealthier Tories collect more and more benefits.

One very smart commentator correctly described Medicare as a transfer program from black males to white females.


It's very prudent for Romney to correctly strike a balance where he can compete for the votes of non-basement dwelling 25 year olds while still retaining a landslide majority of seniors.
