Also in such elections we need to find a way to step back from all the vitriol that is spewed by each side. Murdouck shot himself in the foot well before his rape comment when he trashed Lugar up one side down the other during the primary. With Lugar being a well respected man in this state that was a very poor choice. It poisoned the well of voters from the get go and was something he was never able to overcome.
I remember quoting Murdoch saying that compromise was doing it his way. I knew then he was a bad choice for public office.
Here is the question of the day, does anyone think that wealthy people should pay a lower percentage of their income to taxes than middle class people? Don't argue tax brackets, just a simple question. Do you think someone earning 46 million dollars should pay a lower percentage of their income than say someone earning sixty thousand?
