I estimate 50% of my income is used to pay taxes. Income taxes, property taxes, gasoline taxes, sales taxes, user fees, license fees. I think Obama's "right ideas" would cost me another 20% of my income in taxes.
I don't think Obamas plan to tax companies out of business is the right idea.
I don't think Obamas plan to disarm America is the right idea.
I don't think Obamas plan to give everyone without health insurance free insurance is the right idea, it will cost the working middle class a fortune they can't afford to pay.
I don't think Obama has done anything in his career to warrant his consideration for POTUS.
Actually Obama talks about rebuilding the military, because Bush's follies have made us weak.
France has a nice standard of 70% government payment, you can choose any Dr. you want; no more waiting than here. Good employer's supply the last 30%. If it's terminal or your poor the French government will pay 100%.
Here, even if you have insurance, and you are terminally ill, your SOL, as you will lose your job, and your insurance.. unless your have a spouse that can work for coverage for you. Health insurance is quite broken in the US, we spend more than ANY country on the planet... to pay for the leech industry of medical insurance. Companies which Dr.'s who work for them have stated that they have denied needed treatment causing death. This is what we should spend our money on? Get a clue, your already paying for the insurance industry through a smaller salary or whatever. We use the most % of GDP of any country on the planet, and we have a huge GDP. I think that is just stupid.
I'm not saying Obama has the right answers-alot of what he say it stupid...but McCain is a total idiot. McCain lives in his sheltered, aristocratic world. At least Obama is acknowledging the problems, though his answers aren't exactly the best ones.
