investments are for my retirement , if i have to pay more , my dividend yield is decreased . Also , less people will invest if he raises the rates , 401ks will be even more worthless , it's a horrible idea . Patience , 401ks will recover and are recovering , but they won't if the capital gains tax is raised .
Last one , Ob talks of this civilian defense corps he wants to implement , to me that sounds like the SS , will he use these people to silence dissenters , not that far fetched . JV
I don't feel Ob is strong in this respect and is proposing a reduction of our military , the best defense is a great offense and a show of force . Any sign of weakness is an invitation , you should know that from dealing with haters on Yt :) .
His tax proposals worry me too , he is of the mind that only " rich " people will be hurt by raising the capital gains tax , well , i have investments that yield dividends , so i too will be affected he raises that rate and most of these ...
I still luv ya bro , even if you are a lib , just kidding man , i know your more indie than anything .
The two main issues with me are National Defense and Taxes . A strong military and lower taxes are the tenets of a strong democracy .
I think we forget sometimes that there are wackos , foreign and domestic that want to kill us , it's a reality , we can't fall into a false sense of security or become complacent when it comes to our military and covert operations ..
Personally I think she will be pres soon after they get in (if they get in) - As something will happen to the old guy. Then it is time to attack more countries...
A voting strike would put the presidential election on hold, until we have a re vote for the bailout bill. It was designed to guide inflation shrewdly in the eye of the public.
thanks for your response marc, scary times we live in. I agree with you on McCain/Palin but I cannot, in good conscience, vote for socialist Obama either. He is all talk and has supported some very scary legislation. Add the fact that both of them voted for the bailout....well, you see where I'm going with this. In my opinion, Bush, Obama, and McCain are 3 peas in a pod. More of the same.
A third party vote won't count either, since 95% of voters don't know who the independents are.
Vicki, we already live in a socialist society. It's socialism for the rich. I agree, 100%, that in many ways they are 3 peas in a pod but they will not fill the Supreme Court in the same way. That is what scares me the most.

Why? If you think that our vote even matters wake up. It is not the voters, but the counters that determine who our president is.
I think that was obvious in Bush's first, and second term.

You may very well be right, however, we can't give up.

Since when has a small number of votes put an election on hold? If 3 people vote, the team with 2 votes wins.
