congratulations barack

wow this site is full of self rightuosness. It was a joke, nothing more. Glad to see there is so many perfect, self proclaimed pros here.
 
Oakwilt I think your prayers must be in line with what Gods will is to be answered.He appoints leaders in to their position of power for his will,maybe judgement maybe blessing maybe the total collapse of our society,it doesnt matter its all passing away like a vapor.Honestly if your hope is in this government or this president or any human institution then you are hopeless.Our hope must be in the work Christ did 2000 years ago for the forgiveness of sins.Eternity is what matters.
 
I would think that as hard working small businessmen you would not want your hard earned money to be given as "tax credits" to people who don't pay taxes to begin with. I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes to improve our infrastructure, defense and helping people that really need help, but I don't want to help people who will not help themselves.
 
it's just welfare on a higher scale. Being Blue collor you should be used to carring the poor and supporting the rich. besides it's only 4 years.
 
David, these same thoughts went through my head as I voted. I stumbled but still voted Obama. Although I am looking to start my own business soon enough I figured that it's more important to have the whole country prosper than just myself saving a couple bucks by voting mcain. Plus, if this economy doesn't turn around, I won't have any customers because they won't have any jobs, and then they won't have any money to pay for the service I provide, then I won't have any money for food or water let a lone rent.

Ed. You've been on this site long enough to realize what will be and won't be tolerated. I truely hope you were kidding but racism isn't funny nor is it something to kid around about. There's enough racist a holes out there meaning what they say so there's no reason to say terrible things as jokes

And yes. Morally, I am as perfect as they come. Try me.
 
I have read it and I was smart enough to know that everytime he used the word "invest" he meant spend taxpayer money. You can't "invest" in healthcare, education and tax credits without the money coming from somewhere and it will come from us, the hardworking people.
 
A strong economy comes from the top down. When wealthy people are taxed less, they spend more which means more jobs. It is the same principal of the Fed lowering the interest rates. Make it cheaper for businesses to borrow so that they can grow and spend more. I totally agree with you that it is more important for the country to prosper than to save me a few bucks. In fact, I don't make enought to be affected buy any tax increases.
 
Rich people are cheap.

How do you think they got rich?

This trickle down, personal responsibility thing can only go so far before the desperate turn on you.

And by then you will be at a severe disadvantage with a brain full of spongiform, and a body full of chemicals because of the repubs propensity for letting corporations regulate themselves...
 
Welfare no longer is evidenced by the single mom with five kids (why didn't she take a 'morning after pill, hmm?). It's by astronomical amounts beyond comprehension a tool to insure big business can profit no matter how crappy they run it. Just where did those bailout bucks originate and who precisely got them?

From this standpoint, it looks like the poor single mom recieving benefits actually helps more than hinders the economy for she heads to the convenience store to buy big business's processed unregulated foods at a much higher cost per unit than her suburban counterparts. The wealthy boardmember of the welfared corporation now has millions to squander and the first thing he does is loophole it, not paying for wars or roads or schools.

In breakdown calculations, the one-trillion plus giveaway amounts to 100 million people getting free housing, food and transportation associated costs (includes buying outright a new 40mpg 4-door sedan, insurance, all fuel and options available) clothing, paid two-week cruise vacations once a year, free medical evaluations and primary care including childbirths, private day care for two kids pre-school for a year, all spending taxed for a nation's benefit.

We're ten trillion in debt, thanks to who? Under 250,000 dollar-a-year income will remain the same or experience a reduction in personal taxes, those who make over that? Tax the pants off them for they never contributed a penny to the war that the single mom's kids had no choice but to enlist for and possibly be killed from.

Always getting a kick out of some tree service owner, or some punch-clock bloke who screams about Democratic party "tax increases" when he knows his income would never be the height it needs to be to now be taxed appropriately to pay for the nation's needs that allowed the prosperity he would enjoy if he made a much as the federally-subsidized bank speculator who voted for McCain and works on Wall Street.

AHHHHHHHHH not Reganomics, It did work in the 80"s pepole why do you think it will work now. To change the state we are in we need to look to the inside. When you go to the store and everything is made in China then that means someone somewhere anit working anymore. Companies like walmart and most def the car industry need to be curbbed and made to make USA products. When you import more then you export you will fall.
 
I think both ends of the spectrum are displaying their potential for ignorance here. More than any ideology, division among the American people has led to our current situation. Let's just stop it and get some work done.
 
I believe that trickle down economics does indeed work, as evidenced by the city and state that I live in. We are oil field based so with the high price of oil and gas my state is booming. People around here are spending money like crazy (although not wisely). I don't like the high price of fuel but I do have plenty of work. There are also more jobs than workers. If you don't have a job ,than you don't want to work.

Welfare, although a great idea does not work like it should. Most people on welfare are using OUR money to buy beer, smokes and gamble. And, most people on welfare stay on welfare, their kids get on welfare....... So my hardearned tax dollars go to support people who do not want to support themselves. And, I am assuming that you know that the single mom with 5 kids has 5 kids because she can get more money from the government.


I think the bailout bucks was a horrible idea. I do not think that if my business fails the government will bail me out. I also think that the real estate problems are a result of greed. Greed of the rich bank executives. They were making loans to unqualified people at high rates and high fees. However there was also greed by the unqualified people who got the loans. Getting into houses they could not afford and not being financially responsible.

Not everyone who makes over $250,000 are wealthy boardmembers or work on Wallstreet. And not everyone can take advantage of loopholes. They pay plenty of taxes. And why should they support us? How much do you pay in taxes? I know an individual who made $260,000 in 2006 with a wife and 2 kids. He paid over $60,000 in federal income taxes. Is that fair? Both he and his wife have worked hard all their lives to get where they are. And you think they should pay more? Why? Let other people work hard for what they want. Don't give it to them.

Speaking of the $250,000 limit, is it??? I have also heard a $200,000 limit as well as a $150,000 limit. I personally don't trust the guy.

I sure hope that 1 day I will be making more that $250,000. I know I sure work hard enough for it. Or perhaps I should stop working and let the government give it to me. I also believe in paying my fair share of taxes, but I do want to keep my pants.

In a perfect world, welfare is a good thing. But, unfortunately, this is far from a perfect world.
