All kidding aside... As a young, middle class, educated American I have been wholeheartedly ashamed and embarrassed by the ill political environment of Washington and the actions of our broken republic abroad.
Obama has my vote.
I believe Obama to be the pure change candidate (aside from Paul). We don't need experience. We need change.
Taxes need to be raised, the debt needs to be paid down. Education needs to be center stage. Time to get real and clean shop.
I'm more sick of big business's hand in politics than I am of big government. The size of the government has grown under the republican admin anyway.
I'm sick of our over extended foreign policy and our HUGE defense budget. I'm sick of a weak dollar and our dismal reputation abroad.
America shouldn't be polarized between red and blue. It should be polarized between fiscally realistic and fiscally retarded. The current administration being the former.
First, Taxes don't need to be raised. Every time the government LOWERS taxes, tax revenues go up. It is so childish how some people still think that you need to raise taxes to get the money back. Not to mention the negative affects on the economy by doing so.
You call yourself educated, yet you know very little about national debt and the effects of it. Running up the national debt as well as creating a weak dollar is right out of the Economics 101 play book.
America will continue to be polarized. It has always been polarized.
Also, how's the sailing going?
