I am puzzled

Okay, in trying to keep this as non-partisan as possible, I am wondering what the big fascination is with romney and ryan. Romney says he will create jobs.  He says he will fix the economy.  He says he will strengthen the military.   He says... blah, blah, blah.
   But its been proven that if his policies are indeed put in place, taxes will go up.  And for people like me, (and there are a lot of us) that could be painful.  For example, eliminating the home interest deduction.  This is just insane.  I can see an immediate increase of at least $3000 a year if this happens.  Does romney care?  Of course not.  However, to be fair, he also said he will lower the tax rate.  So, will it be enough to offset this $3000 increase?  Probably not.  Its simple trickle down.  He figures that if someone gets a few more dollars in their paycheck, they will spend it.  Is he nuts?  In this economy, people who get more money in their paycheck will hang on to it.  No one knows if they will have a job tomorrow or not.  Besides, with others costs climbing, there won't be much left to spend.
     Now that brings me to my disappoint over the past four years.  Obama made several promises, yet few have come to pass.  I know that his heart was in the right place.  The car industry bailout.  Yes it was a good thing because it saved jobs.  Restructuring was not necessarily an option.  Bankruptcy affects more people that just GM.  It affects all of their suppliers, employees, etc.  It would have had far reaching consequences.  Further, any money loaned to manufacturers has been paid back with interest.  so that whole program is over.  Thousands of jobs have been saved and manufacturing is back up. So this was a good thing.
     As far as China is concerned, the US has been doing business with China for many years.  Getting China is a necessity for companies who want to do business in Asia.
     There are so many things to touch on here, but you get the idea.  Democrats see the glass as half full while republicans think they own the glass.  It seems to all come down to money.  They don't care if people lose their jobs or go without food, money, healthcare, etc.  They just want their share of the pie.  Democrats try their best to help the middle class maintain some balance.  And somewhere in the middle of all the political crap, there is a balance where things will work.  It just has to be discovered.
