While listening to the first presidential debate, I heard John McCain try to pin Barack Obama on an issue that struck a chord with me. McCain took issue with Obama's desire to hike up taxes(typical Democrat) on big companies. He said that in a free market a company that is deciding whether or not to set up shop in the US, or to ship most of its jobs overseas will look at the situation in this way: I can stay in country A(the US) and pay 25% in taxes and a minimum wage that is staggering, or I can go to country B(pick a country that we outsource jobs to) and pay 10% in taxes and only have to pay people a mere fraction of the minimum wage of country A. Why in the world would anyone with half a brain even consider staying in the US?????!!?? Barack Obama claims(as do almost all Democrats) to be touting the middle class and its well being as the backbone of the economy. He says he will give the MC a big tax break, and that may very well be, but he seems to forget that a HUGE amount of MC people are employed at the very same big corporations he plans to tax the dickens out of. If Obama becomes President and has his way with taxes, what good will his tax breaks do if many of the MC are laidoff and their jobs outsourced?
The bottom line is this, Obama is showing his weakness and inexperience. I do not support Hillary Clinton in the sightest, but I have read what her campaign statements were and she didn't even suggest something so outrageous, so crippling, and so utterly stupid as the verbal diarrhea that Obama makes his campaign policies. She would have been a MUCH better choice for President. John McCain's main argument against Obama from an undecided's standpoint is that he has loads of experience. A ticket with Hillary at the top, or even at the bottom, would have left no chance whatsoever for the Republicans to win in November. Barack Obama made a huge mistake when he did not pick Hillary as his running mate and I think he will suffer for it during the debates. My point is this: Barack Obama has NO IDEA what he is doing. One may argue that Sarah Palin does not either, but SHE IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, STUPID. She is the vice presidential pick, but that is another matter. I am already making huge progress with my first post, and I hope to cover a lot more with subsequent ones.

Interesting point...what good does it do to cut middle-class taxes if the rest of your taxes destroy the middle class?
Incidentally, I am against graduated income tax. Even though the rich pay more taxes, they get the same services from the government. So what are they paying more for? The government should fix itself with a set income tax rate that is acceptable to everyone, then live within that budget. Not that that's ever going to happen =]
Yes, I am also against graduated income tax. It makes no sense to me that for so many years we had both Democrats and Republicans talking about the
'American Dream', that in America, you are able to make money and provide for your family. The problem with this is that now those people whose dreams came true are paying MUCH more in taxes than they did before. It is like Uncle Sam is saying to you ''Good job, now you can pay me more money so I can waste it on the people who did not know how to run their businesses as well as you did.''
Completely unAmerican.
