You cut the amount they paid, but you increased the number of people paying in AND the total revenue.
This is 100% spot on. Now tell us how you do it. I can tell you.

I'm just getting started.

Now Romney is going to reduce the amount of taxes we pay. Thus, instead of paying $25 a month we'll be paying $15 a month. 100 members times $15 a month is $1500.

Then Romney wants to give more money to hosting (our military) even though we don't need it. Let's say his hosting bill is $1k a month, but he's gonna pay extra for extra servers the site doesn't need. Thus, he's paying $1300 a month.

We went from making $10k a month to making $300 a month, we have less people working, and we are paying more for crap we don't need. This sounds like a brilliant plan.
This is possible.

Newsflash: He is not the President.
Obama is.
What is Obama's plan? More of the same?
Which is, according to the studies Romney is using, the way back to recovery.
