Seeing that billions of dollars are going
to other Countrys for aid,do you not think
that some of that should be spent right
here in our own Country,as we have many
here who need aid,such as the handicapped
and the seniors,and many others..

Questions for Romney:
1) "How many grandmothers do you have?"
2) "Will you finally identify which 'loopholes' and deductions you will eliminate to offset your proposed 20% across-the-board tax deductions -- estimated to cost $5 trillion over ten years?"
3) "You were originally in favor of the constitutionally- protected right to abortion -- before you
were against it in all cases (even in cases of 'rape and incest'); yet recently you stated you support abortion rights
in cases of "rape." Since you also said you support
'personhood' bills, do you make distinctions regarding
types of 'rape' (e.g. 'forcible' vs. 'non-forcible' rape)?"

I'd like to ask Romney to explain EXACTLY how cutting taxes while and closing loopholes will not raise taxes on the middle class and will result in a balanced budget.

I'd also like to know how "closing loopholes" this time will differ from when he did it as Governor of MA and it resulted raising the tax burden on small businesses. And how shifting burden to already broke states, as part of his stated plan, will not result in raised state taxes and property taxes, like it did when he did the same (shifting aid to cities in towns) as Governor of MA. And if it does result in higher state and local taxes, would he considered himself absolved of the blame of raising taxes, since technically the states and cities/towns would have been the ones forced to do it?
