A too prevalent disease has spread in our country afflicting people who should be immune. The disease that I refer to as "RomneyRyanItis" is spreading among susceptible citizens who accept lies and distortions uttered by the namesakes of the infliction as factual declarations. The reality is that virtually all of the so-called facts are not facts. They are bacterial and viral agents that infect individuals by implanting false ideas contrived to confuse and trap voters into believing lies. They attempt to accomplish this viral attack by spreading propaganda through 30 second sound bytes, internet, and TV ads paid for by billionaire supporters. They are trying to deceive hard working Americans who often barely get by on minimum wages or unlivable wages. Yet the RomneyRyanItis malady causes uninformed voters to believe that Romney and Ryan and the Republicans stand up for all working Americans and their needs regardless of income, Romney Republican candidate for President, openly stated at a private fund raising gathering that 47% of Americans are free-loaders, pay no taxes, and expect handouts and are literally parasites. I interpret the Romney statement to mean that he believes that nearly all but rich Americans are free loaders since all Americans benefit from our roads and highways, schools and libraries, drinking water, and railways,parks, and literally thousands of other benefits that our taxes pay for including Social Security and Medicare. Are we all free-loaders as Romney and Ryan and the Republican infer? Romney's distortions and lies disclose his true character as a money-crazed financial wizard whose sole aim in life is self-glorification and acquiring more MONEY. His claims and statements are riddled with lies and falsehoods intended to mislead American voters. This is the insidious disease of RomneyRyanItis. Fortunately this disease is curable and preventable by seeking truth and facts instead of lies and distortions uttered by Romney and Ryan.
For example, the 2009 IRS tax data accessible by anyone with a computer reveals different facts as follows:
1) Nearly 100 million working Americans and families have incomes that are from hard work for which they are paid about $12/hr or less, and they still pay FICA federal taxes for their future Social Security and Medicare coverage that amounts to 15.3% of their near poverty wages. In addition if they have phones or televisions they pay federal excise taxes and sales taxes for almost everything they buy including gasoline and oil , natural gas, propane, and electricity. Additionally, they must fork up fees for drivers licenses, federal taxes for booze and cigarettes. Those dependent upon Medicaid are effectively being charged for bed taxes that many states impose on nursing homes that Federal Taxes mainly pays for. Taxes on taxes are the norm for Republican red states or states that Republicans would like to turn red.
These one hundred million working poor Americans are classified as free loaders by those who are part of the 47% that RomnetRyanItis vilifies.. They are not free loaders as Romney/Ryan describes them. They are very hard working American who are simply trying their best to get by. Approximately 190 million additional Americans and their families live on incomes between about $25,000 and $100,000 annually. They often support elderly parents and other dependents including children, and they nearly all pay taxes including the 15.3% Federal Employment Tax and all other taxes. According to Romney many of these are also free loaders who don't pay taxes. These 290 million Americans and their families pay taxes and that is without question. The lies and distortions promulgated by RomneyRyanItis are vile and despicable characterizations of hard working Americans who do not deserve the demeaning smear given by the Republican candidates. Stop RomneyRyanItis in its tracks by seeking truth and then voting for those who are your advocates, not your defamers.

SECRET VIDEO: Romney Tells Millionaire Donors What He REALLY Thinks of Obama Voters | Mother Jones
Hello, Please read and view this video that shows Mr. Romney secretly being recorded insulting the vast majority of Americans. In this degrading description of Americans he states that anyone supporting President Obama believes in handouts from our government. I am proud to support our president and was born in 1931 during the Great Depression. My mother worked for slave wages in garment sweat shops after immigrating from
Romania. She died when 47 from the constant labor to earn 50 cents or less an hour.
I was able to get admitted to UCLA and worked at least 20 hours a week to pay for food and rent earning between $1 and $1.75 an our working in gas stations, dormitory cafeterias, and as a lab assistant for an engineering professor who was my mentor and father figure. While in graduate school I was drafted during the Korean War and served our country for 22 months.
Subsequently I was married and my wife died when our son was two years old. I was fortunate to work for an engineering company that covered medical expenses during my wife's terminal illness. Later I was employed as an aerospace engineer contributing to our nation's first moon landing. I progressed professionall retiring when 65 as VP Technical Services for a Fortune 500 company.
Mr. Romney demeaned all Americans who have worked hard to earn their pay and to contribute to our nation .He vilifies all veterans who served and died for our nation. He vilifies all Americans who paid for Social Security and Medicare throughout their working years. He vilifies virtually everyone except the very rich believing that the middle class includes those earning more than $200,000 annually. He, Romney, was born with a golden spoon and platinum teething ring and has never labored for a living as most middle class Americans have who earn between about $20,000 and $100,000 annually. He received over $20,000,000 in 2010 in the form of interest and paid less taxes as a percentage of his income than most working Americans except the destitute or disabled who receives Social Security or the elderly who are dependent upon Social Security that they paid for, and Medicare also for which they paid. Millions of elderly require Medicaid to live their final years in nursing homes. Social Security, Medicare, Obama Care, and Medicaid are on the Romney/Ryan chopping block. They both believe that the recipients are not entitled to live if requiring government funds to help them, even if they have paid for the benefits they ultimately received earlier during their working years.
Mr. Romney and Cong. Ryan have revealed themselves as egocentric greedy individuals who believe that money talks and who obviously listen to their very wealthy financial supporters who want to lower their taxes as they strip Americans from the 1935 Social Security Act insurance, eliminate the Medicare Act of 1965, and repeal Obama Care (Affordable Health Care Act of 2010) stripping people of coverage who have preexisting medical problems or millions who can not pay for private insurance without going broke, and simultaneously eliminating Medicaid for elderly who have depleted all resources and are unable to stay alive without help.
Romney/Ryan apparently want to create an oligarchy managed their corporate supporters, by the very wealthy, for, and of the very wealthy. Listen to and read their own words and then decide to vote for the retention of American values that have been continuously fostered by Democrats who care about working Americans, and opposed by Republican who believe that the rich should rule. Clear away the any cobwebs that may obscure you vision and vote, vote, vote for Democrats and President Obama/ VP Biden.
