This sums up my thoughts
"I'm going to miss Bush."
Me too. Less stuff for the Daily Show to use now that we have a serious leader in this rediculous nation. (That's not an insult to the nation's structure as much as persons).
"thats a great stadegy for Obama. hes gonna raise taxes on the rich people who help the economy. but not as much as the lower middle class and sometimes higher middle class. Basically they both make up America, lower middle classes do not live simple lives, they gotta work hard and usually come from poor families and immigration, like myself. we are the most who are struggling. we work more and give more jobs. we used to be poor and not have any hope cuz illegaly stuff and we came from poor countries. but now we can actually work. i dont care if we live in worse neighborhoods, we still work and give a lot of jobs. the upper middle class lives more simple, but not great lives. although they have better jobs and better homes, they are still being charged alot with taxes. they also give a lot to the economy and bringing them down will be worse. as for you, srry but you dont know how we have struggled and if you came from the poor to rich i dont care, cuz you got a lucky break. that would be extremly selfish to say.
@everybody else
WTF IS OBAMA DOING NOW!!!!! i thought he was gonna help the middle east problem, he just elected a jewish guy to be his secretary of something! thats gonna be terrible. hes the ones that makes sure Obamas actions are ok and comtrols the desicion making. somebody told me that obama is not gonna make the desicion but other people will do this for him this is bad! "
Rich PERSONS don't usually help the economy. Rich BUSINESS doesn't either except on an international market, and if you've achieved international status you should be fine anyways.
Rich PERSONS hoarde cash and then make a form of heir and nobility to their life's wealth. I don't neccesarily see a problem with taxing them.
"I think that even though dems have a majority in the White House and the Senate, there are some good things behind it. (Speaking for myself, being a conservative) At least since they are in both branches, they'll be held responsible for anything that goes wrong. This way if/when they mess it up, they'll have no leg to stand on and the GOP will be able to rebuild."
We're not in a Recession thanks to two years of a democratic senate. The 6 years before them has been the largest accruing of dept in the history of our nation. Approx 4.8 Trillion. I highly doubt that Democrats spending money to support the trashed economy that Republicans have made will actually affect our national dept.
Beyond that, Democrats have rebuilt ever single recession that REPUBLICANS have made, a small reminder from history. I can't personally say I would use history to be a prime resource because we are now in a very diverse and international market, yet Republicans have had a strong will in skrewing us up regardless of conditions.
"It completely sucks that Obama won. He will raise taxes for successful businessmen like my father and our family will be taxed a good deal more. I don't see how this is even close to a reasonable plan because with these people being taxed more they will most likely fire a number of employees that work for them, depending on how much they are effected. What a way to bring about unemployment."
A plain seperation of personal finances and company would suffice an answer to this. Silly, and guess what? With our failing economy your income will be worth less and less and so then what? After taxation our economy grows, it's a common Process. Look at Australia. Australia, 35% taxes are common, about 3x America's average. Yet somehow a teacher earning 23,000 here would earn up to 70,000 in Australia for a similar position. Could you explain this comparison?
"It's unbelievable, everybody at my school is a McCain fan like me, except they are poor sports! They go on, and on, about how Obama is a terrorist because his middle name, and how he is a muslim because he went to a muslim pre-school, and they swear and they cuss, and than we had an election day, where we pick it at our school, and McCain won 93% and the 8% of the people who voted for Obama were made fun of , cursed at, and it wasn't even funny, I felt sad for them. They hope that he is going to get assassinated!! I'm over here telling them to shut up because it's not cool when anybody dies, but if they are somebody like Hitler, then it's cool. "
Obama was living in Indonesia in pre-school, how in hell did he go to a Muslim pre-school? And I hope to god he gets into office, pulls out a turban and in his inaugaral speech just yells, "PSYCHE FOOLS!". It'd be the best wake-up call for America since he won the election.
"Nothing against Obama or anybody else but I feel that Obama only won for three main reasons besides his ideals, he's young, he's liberal (and i'm finding more of the younger generation are liberal), and he's black. This refers mostly to the reasons non informed people voted for him"
Want to explain the three reasons McCain supporters supported him? I'll explain what people on this forum have said:
"I am about to go vote in an hour and it's my first vote. I support McCain alot. Can a Obama supporter tell me why not, cause seems that alot are voting Obama just becuase he's black and ****. And I say if a black person votes Obama just cause he's black, there racest as hell"
Amoung things, there is also the famous "I'm voting for McCain because I'm a conservative" and the other, "He'll make my family poor by taxing the **** out of us".
None of which are true or have any reall affect on you. Let's talk issues?
