Obama's Plan Means You Pay Your Fair Share of Taxes
Thank you for putting the concern about taxing people who earn more than $250,000 per year in perspective. Think about this, America, only 1.9 percent of American households earn more than $250,000 per year. What are they crying about? Because they are only 1.9 percent of U.S. households, they are among the elite. If they cannot afford the ...

A Plan to Bankrupt the World
This is the second time McCain has referred to a plan to freeze federal spending in an effort to balance the budget. Just picture the thousands of things a government spends money on every day. The government spends about $17,000 for each taxpaying household in the USA. Suppose they froze half of that and spent only $8,500 per household. Earlier ...

Depression, Recession, Trickle-across Economics and the Poor
(... the rest of the world is producing more goods more cheaply than we are, so we are finding fewer and fewer jobs for our citizens. Everything else devolves from that.) (From automobiles (Ford), to airplanes (The Wrights), to electronics (Morse & Edison), to computers (Intel &Microsoft), time and time again this nation has been ...

Thanks for Researching This, Rather Than Healthy Family Life
The complete and inane turpitude of every aspect of American life and attitudes and values continues to astonish me, over time.

I ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently?

how candidates define...
One is ready and willing to debate. The other wants to avoid it. Which do you want for your next president?

McCain's debacle/debate
Hey John, this is your last chance to prove that you are the best presidential candidate. After cancelling - then joining the debate: you had better be better than good. You had better be convincing. Which is a stretch. But, if you fail, you go along with Bush as the worst President in U.S. history and the worst republican candidate to replace ...

a strategy of desperation!
By 'trying' to avoid the schedule debates McCain shows a pathetic cowardice. He knows he can't win. So cleverly attempt to change the dates?
