you do realize there are more than just the 2 candidates?

Not liking either the Republican or Democratic candidates is not a valid reason for not voting, when there are actually SEVERAL OTHER candidates running, from such unknown political parties as the Green Party and the Libertarian Party.
People complain that the Dems and the GOP seem so much alike on too many issues, and bitch that we are a two party system. We aren't. We have dozens of political parties in the US.
If more people that don't like the D or R choices actually got off their lazy and uninformed butts and went to the polls, they could see there were more than 2 choices, and could vote for the "third party" that is closer to their beliefs. If this happened in larger and larger numbers, perhaps those parties might end up having a chance at getting candidates elected.
Not voting is Un-American. Not voting because you don't like either the Republican or Democrat, is not just Un-American, it is about the dumbest thing one can do in an election year.

Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Sorry, given their small sample size, that's a statistical tie, not a win.

They aren't proposing a net reduction in taxes/revenue, but rather a cut in the rate.
