Can someone show me where it says that fairness is part of the US tax code? If common sense can not be used than why should fairness?
Things I dont care about in a Presidential election:
Views onAbortion
Views on Gay rights
How much said person makes/worth
How much said person pays in taxes
What church said person attends/says they attend/ etc.
Color of skin
Im sure there are others but these seem to dominate the news and I hardly think they matter to qualify a person to run the country. IMO Obama has been a pretty poor president with virtually nothing to run on yet Romney is such a weak candidate it is embarassing that he cant even put up much of a fight.
