And would you be willing to pay more in taxes to prevent Medicare insolvency and reduce the deficit/debt? Because that is the primary issue here. We need to reduce spending and raise taxes to achieve a sound fiscal footing. In your scenario under Romney, how are we going to reduce the deficit by simply cutting taxes? He has given no specifics as to how he will make up for the shortfall his actions would create, and the traditional government response has been to simply borrow more money. Our taxes are currently much lower than they were for most of the previous century, during which we had a long, prosperous economy. But for some reason, any attempt to raise taxes from unsustainable levels, even though they still wouldn't approach the highest points in the past 50 years, are portrayed as horrific. The current tax rates were never meant to be permanent, despite the mindset of some people.

Not exactly. Many MANY people believe taxes need to go up.
This now includes David Koch, by the way.
I realize Romney destroyed many companies in his day by over-leveraging them. I'm not sure why we should allow him to do the same thing to our country.
Taxes need to be higher for everyone, with the greater burden placed on those who have been the biggest beneficiaries of the public goods in this country and have the best ability to pay.
Bain actually helped more companies then bankrupted "It is a fact that fewer than 5% of our portfolio companies over the past 28 years have filed for bankruptcy while under our control."
Also note that Bain buys companies that are under risk of going broke so that is a pretty impressive number for companies that were going to go out of business without their assistance.
