Who Will You Be Voting For This November

90% Obama, 10% Romney (if there is truly a compelling reason for me to choose otherwise). At least Romney isn't as big a nut as Gingrich or Santorum- I'm willing to study more on his views on things, which I'll do when election time draws closer

Last year, for example, Apple's global cash tax rate was only 9.8%. It paid $3.3 billion of cash taxes on profits of $34 billion.

You're being hypocritical.

People died for my right to choose.

To me it's naive to think that if you're given an OPTION between 2 choices you should only choose one.

Yes, you do have a right to choose not to vote, but I think its naive to pass up that opportunity when a majority of the world doesn't have that same opportunity.  Our ability to be a participating democracy is what made us a great country.  But do you.  I'm just saying, if you don't want to vote, don't complain when the government does you wrong... not that you can't choose to not vote.
