Re: Where is the leadership in this country? said by Phil:Unfortunately, the backwardness of caps in particular isn't addressed. Ahh, I was wondering when someone would actually say that Obama's bloviating had nothing to do with this news article.

Re: Where is the leadership in this country? said by splat1622:and how are you going to feel when your taxes go sky high to pay for all of his projects Sadly everyone of his tax hikes is in the millionaire bracket. I'm not that rich so I'm fine with tax decrease. If I was a millionaire or billionaire then I would worry about his tax hike. Learn where the hike is. McCain is lowering taxes for everyone but did anyone notice his massive DECREASE in the millionaire bracket while a 1% for poor ass people. Yeah, I sure think his policy is better. I do not believe Obama will get everything he says done but I do believe he has more incentive to change anything that McCain.
McCain:
War Monger
Tax Decrease for the rich and a puny ass one for everyone else
Old and out of touch with the current world. His way of thinking clearly shows that.
Obama:
Gives some damn about new technology
Tax INCREASE for the RICH and Tax decrease for the NOT RICH(aka everyone not in the top two brackets making at least half a million a year or more).
I think I like the second choice better than McCain. |

That's one thing about presidential candidates, they talk the talk, but never walk it. They say anything to get elected, and that's that...
Obama talks about broadband, But I doubt he will follow through on it.
Of course, if he is elected, I hope he does follow through on the broadband plan.  |

said by I pos rep:Tax INCREASE for the RICH and Tax decrease for the NOT RICH(aka everyone not in the top two brackets making at least half a million a year or more). Ahhh. You must not remember the early Clinton years. He made the exact same promise. He'd only tax those evil rich people that steal their money from the poor and then eat them alive.
Turned out that everyone making over $30k a year was not only considered "rich" but they also had to pay Clinton's retroactive tax hike as well.
If Hussein does win and passes his promised tax hikes on everyone, the rich won't pay. They will simply move their money out of the country. Offshoring of jobs will increase too.

Maineville, OH | You defend the rich who come to this country and suck up all of the wealth for themselves, just because they can. And yet you will renounce heavy broadband users for fundamentally doing the same thing. Using the system for what it can give them.
Cry me a river. Take your money and go someplace else. The world will keep spinning without you.

You are correct, the President of the United States cannot make laws.
HOWEVER, in this day of partisan politics, he can get a few sympathetic members of either the House or Senate to introduce a law he would like to have.
Another thing to look at is the polls. Most of this country thinks the President is doing a bad job. (Whether or not you agree with this is another matter altogether.) Congress has an even lower approval rating right now. Now, the President is a single person. Congress is an entity of about 535 people so they get to spread that blame and point fingers.
As for broadband policies, while there should be SOME controls, I think providers should be allowed to build in areas that are already serviced by others. |

said by wentlanc:You defend the rich who come to this country and suck up all of the wealth for themselves, just because they can. To quote an old economic axiom, when was the last time a poor person offered you a job? And as for this ridiculous assertion, why would the rich suck money from the poor, who by definition have little money to begin with?
said by wentlanc: And yet you will renounce heavy broadband users for fundamentally doing the same thing. Ahh. You clearly have not read my own posting history regarding my opposition to caps. My suggestion is you learn the positions taken by your opponent prior to arguing with him.

said by sturmvogel:Sure. Vote McCain and yet get no Internet and no free speech. Don't fall for the manufactured and false dichotomy. Neither dem or repub candidate is qualified to be president AFAIC. I'm voting 3rd party this year.
Plus, other than my district 9 rep (I believe she is still "for the people"), I am voting all incumbents out of state and federal legislature.
Want proof our "2 party" system doesn't work? Go to google news right now and read about the massive clusterfuck that is going on in congress as we speak. |
