Well we certainly can't allow you to have more than your neighbor. So it's got to be taken away from you and given to someone that doesn't want to work as hard as you. After all, that is the Democrat way Barack Obama way Socialist way. Of sourse, those three are all one in the same. |

What is this country coming to. Gee, the current administration just took a Trillion dollars and spread it around to financial dolts to do with as they see fit to "bail us out."
People squeal like pigs when they think some liburul is going to fleece them to finance crack addicts but bend over for bankers and Hedge funds. Unreal.
The hypocrisy is frightening, and I don't know whether it's ideology or ignorance. If you make less than 250K a year under Obama's plan you won't see a penny of money taken from you and spread around. If it turns out he lied it won't be hard to catch. All the man is calling for (so far) is basically a return to Clinton's tax policies.
Back on topic, please. Most people here can't discuss politics rationally. -- |

Yeah its crazy, just the other day I was telling my wife how frustrating low our taxes are! Thankfully I am very patriotic, and so the idea of more taxes really gets me excited. I personally eagerly look forward to paying more taxes, so I for one am glad Oops-bama got elected. The best (and most fun!) part of this is figuring out where to come up with the extra money I will need after my "spread the wealth" payments go up.  -- Комитет государственной безопасности

Re: Can't rely on Big Business or Big Government It is funny to see how people think that with Obama in the White House that everything will magically be better and all ills will be fixed. I am sorry to say some people will be let down. One man can't fix everything. |

People squeal like pigs when they think some liburul is going to fleece them to finance crack addicts but bend over for bankers and Hedge funds. Unreal. Many conservatives that believe that are not even business owners, just average Joe Plumbers (who may not even be plumbers) who make much less and have little to no hope of ever making millions... yet they still believe that giving big businesses free reign to do as they please and putting all taxpayers money to them in hard times is the best course of action. Got news for you: You may not like government and think it is an amoral and corrupt entity, but big businesses with no oversight are no shining angels either (as much as you want to think that).

All the man is calling for (so far) is basically a return to Clinton's tax policies. And under McCain's plan most of them would get a very minimal tax cut while big businesses got huge ones. They would have had spending freezes on everything except military, potentially hurting everything from education and research to infrastructure and emergency protection. Businesses would be getting more "free market" (eg. letting businesses do as they please and expecting them to never use corrupt practices) potentially bringing about a second "housing" collapse in a different industry. That never sounded good to me.
I am not one for massive regulation on anything, but COME ON! The reason the banks and housing industries collapsed is because they had no oversight and no regulation whatsoever. They were given free reign to do whatever and they clearly did. We certainly don't need massive regulation but we don't need NO regulation either.
I at least have faith that Obama will use sound judgment and not go completely far left on everything. He seems to have gone middle-of-the-road where-as McCain seemed to go from middle-right to far-right. --

Is lack of a GOOD internet connection really a reason to MOVE, get a NEW MORTGAGE, LEAVE AN AREA YOU LOVE... just for a stupid internet connection?
Barack Obama and his administration will help with this "dilemma" (most likely.. not immediately... the economy, energy, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are probably first), but I don't see how a junk internet connection is good grounds for moving. -- "Hey, have you heard the song...
