Obama wants to raise taxes on the rich and keep the bush era taxes for the middle class. So you and I will keep our same taxes. We need to cut spending and increase taxes. You mentioned 88% top rate on earners. That is low compared to what it was with some other presidents. I guess we just keep going round and round.

Bingo!! Now your getting it.

Look, I'm no Chicken Little, but we are in a hole now that is unprecedented. They call it a recession, but not a depression. Why? Because when this country was in depression there were soup lines because there was no unemployment benefits. What most don't realize is they are one in the same.

I don't know how we are going to get out of this mess. But there are options.

1. Let Obamer tax the mess out of the rich. They pack up and move out causing job and revenue loss. As a result, more people become dependant on the government, causing higher deficits, causing more tax hikes until finally we give it all to the government and let them take care of us. Socialism.
2. Back off of businesses and let them do what they do best. Create capital. Invent, expand, grow, create jobs. Businesses control our economy, not government.
3. Stick any other theory you want in here. Because thats all we got.

We have never been here before, as such, I don't think anybody knows how to get out without having to hurt a lot of people. This country went credit happy for the most of the late 90's and early 2000's. Now we are paying for it.
