"The 2012 Election, Obama vs. Romney"
This paper is about the election and how Obama and Romney are going to fix some of the issues in the United states. This paper is focusing mostly on immigration, taxes and education.
There seems to be no similarities on how Obama thinks about immigration compared to Romney's idea. Romney thinks that there should be a wall all across the border of the U.S.A. between Mexico, but he will create a pathway to citizenship for those who have served in the U.S. military or for children who came "Through no fault of their own".
But Obama thinks a different way. He wants to stop deportation immigration that are undocumented. They will not be deported if they are under the age of 30 and have a high school diploma or GED or they served in the military.
There is a big difference on how Romney thinks and how Obama thinks about taxes. Romney believes that we should cut taxes on the wealthy families and large businesses, and he wants to raise taxes on the middle class and the poor. Obama thinks that we should raise taxes on the wealthy and cut taxes on the middle class and poor.
There is a small similarity on how Obama and Romney think about education because they are both thinking about the children. They both want to help the students get into college to get a degree. Romney believes parents should have more choice in how their kids receive an education. He also supports reducing the Federal government's role in education, testing students and rewarding talented teaches.
Obama believes in Federal help for students who can't afford college. He urges states to have a high standard in public schools and develop new programs for students. He believes in the No Child Left Behind Act but wants schools to have more flexibility in the approach. Obama wants to improve early education and the participation of American students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Obama and Romney don't have the same ideas. They think about the people, but they would act differently if they get elected. One would do one thing, and the other would do something else. To learn more, read the newspaper or go on websites. Go to Google and type in "election."
