Just a couple of thoughts on some things in this thread...
1) governments job to help us stay alive by providing tax incentives...
Governments job is actually to help us stay alive by protecting us from Tyranny and foreign invaders. The taxes are supposed to support their effort. Somehow, the government has grown to the enormous beast that it is today - mostly by whiney turds demanding they be taken care of in one way or another thus created endless lists of governemnt programs that all need oversight and management thus ever feeding the growth of the beast.
2) the biggest problem with our country is people knowing nothing being allowed to vote
Couldn't be more true a statement. It's a wonderful thing how just cancel out a well informed opinion.
3) if you want to boost economy, create factories to build things, correct healthcare, ss, and the list goes on and on. The Gov needs to stop taxing our money that we are using to build the damn Country with...
Close enough. But yes, if you want to stimulate growth cut taxes. This touches on our current economy... which contrary to popular opinion, is NOT in a recession and is in many terms measurably better that at any point during the last 12 years. The IRS recently released data showing that the AVERAGE medium income levels had one of their LARGEST jumps ever! In reference to TAX CUTS for the rich, IRS data released early this year reporting on tax year 2006, the bottom 50% of tax payers say a REDUCTION in overall tax burden while the TOP 10% say an INCREASE: 2001 bottom 50% paid 3.97% and in 2006 paid 2.99%; 2001 top 10% paid 64.89% and in 2006 paid 70.79%.
4) A U.S Supreme Court full of right-wing justices will not be good for anyone working in adult.
Actually its been republicans who have stood vigilantly on the free speech rights of every American - to include the adult industry. One thing about republicans, is they generally prefer less regulation and governemnt intervention and free speech for one is free speech for all. And last I looked it was the democrat run Senate in California that wanted to create a special 25% tax on the Adult industry.
5) John McCain is a republican and Barrack Obama is a democrat.
Hardly! John McCain is almost identical to what JFK would have stood for. That makes him a democrat in my book. Barrack Obama is almost identical to your typical European Socilalist. That makes him a socialist in my book. IMO there really isn't a republican, conservative party anymore. Bush was also more like a traditional democrat than a republican. All the faces of the Democrat party are socialists (Dean, Pelosi, Boxer, Kennedy,etc.)
6) on this elecetion...
Its simple. Obama is underprepared an has virtually zero qualifications. While McCain (or the old grumpy dude) has a lifetime that while its filled with blunders (such as the carrier fire) completely trumps the community organizer's. He basically doesn't stand a chance. He is actually behind in the polls at a time when every other democrat in his position enjoyed 15-20% point leads. Especially since everyone dislikes Bush right? The current administration right?
The worst on Obama is yet to come. I believe the McCain camp has as many as 3 major bombshells that will redefine the term 'October surprise'. At least thats what I am hearing. Also - the democrat attorney general in one state just filed a lawsuit charging that Obama's birth certificate is a forgery and that he is actually a citizen of as many as two or three other countries - thus he is constitutionally ineligible to be president.
Personally - I'm not voting for either of them. I don't believe in either of them and therefor will vote for an independent or no one at all. But my vote here in California wont really matter anyway. The whole thing will be over before they even begin to count the votes out here and the winner will be McCain. And I fully expect McCain to win by a landslide - 8-14%.
The good news... I dont expect McCain to run for a 2nd term, so in 2012 it will be the VP (either Romney or Hutchinson) running against Hillary. If you ask me, I won't be surprised if the Clintons release the rest of their dirt on Obama through some back channels as well - cause basically if Obama wins, the Clintons are over, and they won't stand for that...lol
