Are you serious?!!?

I have not seen any Republicans making the govt smaller or cutting spending. So?

change will always happen,Some is natural, and other is agenda driven. We have had big deficits in the past but they were from temporary expenditures which could be paid down, not permanent and growing spending, that is based on always growing from the previous year. You focus on more taxes but we can also cut spending. I look at what I have had to do because of this economy. I am taking another hourly cut this month of about $2 an hour on top of the large percentage of income I have lost over the past two years. That I am looking for a better job, but the short term reality is I either have to work more, (I already work most weekends), cut spending, or deficit spend from our savings. I dont think I can work much more so we will go back to our budget. The government does not have the option to work more, the more they work the more they cost, they don't make a product or a profit. So to reduce their deficit they have to take money from job creators, or cut spending.

I read it, Whats your point, the politics of income distribution does not change who crates jobs, we have private sector jobs, the majority of which are created by the 'Rich" and government jobs which (at the federal level)are paid for by taxes primarily from the "Rich". If not who is creating our jobs?

Always for the history of this country.

The middle class has been bled out ever since--remember those tax credit checks from the federal govt? 500 or 600 or 200 if single I forget but if you were rich you got your break later and it was waaayyy bigger and it kept on coming tax breaks for the richest...not you and me. So increase tax on the rich, they never delivered the jobs that were supposed to come so here we are.

The Idea of a tax break is to give a break to those paying taxes. Remember at the federal level the top 5% pay 40% of the taxes and the top 10% pay 60%, so when reduce the burden, the top %5 should get 40% of the break and the top 10% should get 60%, otherwise it is just another plan to re-distribute wealth, which was that case with Bushes checks. People paying nothing received "a break". From what? The jobs we have we have are primarily do to the "rich". Are we grateful? I am, but the left just sees them a revenue source. Look at why they have stopped delivering jobs. The rich are humans and exhibit human behavior. they respond to rewards and punishments, If there is something you want from them you have to reward that behavior, and if you punish the behavior it will go away. Look at the states that are broke, California, Michigan , Illinois. who has dominated their government, republicans or democrats?

Madigan and Daley/Emanuel control the budget don't kid yourself

Q - I would vote for anybody who I thought had any better ideas/plans but I don't see anyone like that. I am an independent and have voted Rep and Dem in the past. I have lots of guns. I never thought Obama was going to take them and he didn't even though that was the threat from the peanut gallery. Like most all of the terrible things Obama was going to do...just didn't happen. I think Obama is more for the middle class than anybody else. The damage to our economy wasn't his doing and he has handled our business as good as anyone could under the circumstances IMO.

I also voted for Ross Perot and decided it was a waste, we have a two party disfunctional system because nobody will get behind "the other guy" --the numbers always fall in behind the Dems and the Reps and so we get they guy that makes it to the top of that pile.

The fight for the GOP nom right now shows how weak the candidates are and the Republicans have become...complain about Obama but he's probably going to get a second term he's still a better option than MittNewtRickRon.

Seeker, wish I could jump all over Obamas (or whatever his name is) bandwagon however what has he done to draw us in? He did nothing for Chicago or the State of Illinois while he was hitched to our wagon and has continued on that same path in Washington. He is nothing more then a politician, he has no business sense or experience yet is at the helm of the biggest business in the world, or at least that is what his title says???

Last I checked he was the President of the United States of America

If he didn't do that some rightwing whacko would shoot him.

Just more nonsense

While your holding that thought, Everyday or at least every other Obama flies somewhere to make a speech which is televised telling me that I nee to concerve and lower my dependency on foreign oil. He Flys in a jet, has a parade of suburbans, vans cop cars and press gulping gallons and gallons of fuel. He could have any one of these speeches right at the white House and save his dependency on foreign oil but he feels the need to ride around in helicopters, jets and limos constantly. Why can't Obama practice what he preaches?

You want him to drive a volt when he gets out of office. I'd like him to go pick his color tommorrow. Have it all ready to go in for November.
