To The Editor:

Your endorsement of Mitt Romney (Oct. 21) has all the markings of the talking points from his campaign and is fraught with absence of facts about him. He still refuses to release his income tax returns, is not inclusive of women and their rights, has a seriously flawed budget plan, and believes (incorrectly – see G.W. Bush) that a top-down approach will add millions of jobs.

Company owners do not hire more workers strictly because corporate tax rates are lower, but because our economy is primarily supply-and-demand driven. Demand creates jobs. We now see larger profits, but they go into owners’ pockets, not in hiring. Revoke the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and the budget will be balanced.
