How Obama would hurt Middle America

Of course, democrats think that taxes are good. It is beyond my comprehension why you would give those wasteful, unaccountable spenders anymore money. Democrat policys have never worked and they will screw up the country bad. djbtol

And think about how he will be helping the people who don't work....and they will continue to worship him.

Yes, Obama will hurt the middle class if elected. A better plan for Obama would be for all money in the federal employee retirement system to be moved to the social security system while also moving all federal employees into the social security system, including those already retired. All federal employee retirement funds currently being held for them should be moved to social security. The retirement system good enough for the rest of us, is good enough for the servants of the people. Additionally, the pay and benefits of federal employees should be lowered until there are not literally over a thousand people applying for every opening. When over a thousand people apply for a job, you know it is too lucrative.

It's an outrage, isn't it? And yet those who love Obama will not listen to reason. It really is like they're all hypnotized. I suppose they'll wake up and wonder what happened if Obama makes it to the White House. I wonder if they'll admit they were wrong...or will they still try to blame if on Bush.

Why are you against Obama. It seems as if the lower income persons want him to be the next President. In my country they say the our first woman Prime Minister was a dunce and she do not know anything. So they go ahead and vote her out. Do you know what is happening to Jamaica now. The poorer class is feeling it so hard. It is now 8mths since change of government and they who wanted change are crying back for Portia. Itis about blessings and having good Advisors. When Portia was prime minister there was a calm and we were able to help our self. Now bruce is in and only his friends are benefiting. I would say give Obama a chance. If he put Hillary has vice president and put Bill Clinton has a advisor. America will go back to his glory days.

How would you propose we pay Bush bills? Last I saw it was around 4 trillion dollars,plus he's got enough time to probably tack on another trillion! Thanks tdemex

In my area there are jobs. It is the people who do not want to work. I and several other business owners can not find people who want to work. Let Obama spread the wealth. Then I will close my business and do nothing like several of his supporters. If the people who do not contribute to society will be equally wealthy as those who do not, then what is to stop people like me from working? If my company did not exist there would be less people employed as well as less taxes collected by the local, state and federal government. If Obama is elected and raises my taxes like he says, then I will make a major business purchase every year to avoid paying more taxes. I will attend training in other states that will require me to stay in a hotel. I am sure I can visit some botanical gardens in Hawaii and write that off too. I have never abused anything through my company but let Obama tell me how I will conduct business and I will get the best accountant to show me the loopholes. Hiring the accountant would also reduce my income as well. Therefore less taxes. Some people do not understand that there are legal ways around paying taxes. If people want to better their lives they need to focus on educating themselves and working hard. Without both of them you probably will not make a very good income. I will also raise my prices. So the Obama supporters can pay me more. I have no problem with that. People need to think. Look at the prices that were raised because of a minimum wage increase and gas prices. Gas is under $3 per gallon but notice how the prices have not decreased. Next is minimum wage. How much does a 16 year old child without any experience deserve as an hourly wage?

If I was making $65,000 a year in income, I wouldn't need help in tax cuts from Barack Obama or whoever our next president will be! Achieving "the American Dream," and believe me I consider making $65,000 a year "the American Dream," is what our country stands for! Democracy (and having a Democratic president, not a Republican) means the more income you make, the more you are going to be taxed. Simple as that and it's only fair. Why would those who earn $65,000 a year want a tax break??? It baffles my mind that those who are in this income-level are sooo greedy!! For once, think about those Americans who are making much, much less than $65,000 a year and still supporting a family of four.
