What struck me the most about Mr. Romney in the debate was that he felt that the American people do not *deserve* to know the details of his plans. It seems certain that selected supporters behind closed doors have asked for and received specifics of what Mr. Romney will do. This stonewalling of the American people is equivalent to coming into a company as a Bain officer and telling the employees that everything will be fine, while all the time knowing exactly what you intend to do in order to strip the remaining asset value from those employees and enrich the vulture capitalists.

So did any body else catch mitt admit to outsourcing jobs in the debate. After Persident Obama stated we should stop corporate loop holes and incentives to offshore jobs, Romney slipped and said," there are no incentives, or I should fire my accountant, inmy twenty years of business, I have not seen those breaks!" i have not heard any of the talking heads run with this. WHY NOT?

I'd like to point out, completely off topic, that any reference to the "average" American is misleading. The average American in terms of wealth is at about the 83rd percentile (from the bottom). That's not middle class. The median American in terms of wealth has about 10% of the average. All of this is due mostly to the unbelievable amount of wealth accreted by those in the top 1%. I don't have data on annual income, but it's probably similar.

So beware when a political ad says a tax law has a certain cost or benefit for the average American (with no modifier). If they talk specifically about seniors or college graduates or something like that, it can be taken as somewhat more accurate.
