Some people don't like the a bit of the millions of dollars they make every year to go into projects for the poor, homeless, and the middle-class who are paying out the a**.
Uhh, wouldn't angry and overtaxed middle class folk then vote for Obama? The man's tax plan gives the entire middle class a pretty significant tax break and an even bigger break when you try and send kids to college.
Honestly, most of our tax dollars go to military spending these days. It's our Big Expenditure. If people were really fiscally conservative they'd demand we bring our troops home and cease this pointless exercise in empire building when within 15 years most of the energy resources Iraq has will be greatly diminished in value.
And before you say, "We can sell that oil to China and Russia" hold that thought. What we could sell for a hell of a lot more money is massive engineering projects to upgrade the solar, wind and geothermal infrastructures of these countries.
The future of the US is far more secure if we begin radically investing in non-oil energy technology, getting 20 years ahead of everyone else in that, and then selling it off.
No argument with me that the government spends too much money, they do! If spending it on the military keeps us safe from terrorists, then that is just the price we have to pay.
As far as Obama giving us a tax break, don't kid yourself. He and Biden can't get their numbers straight, I have heard Obama say two figures 250,000 and 200,000 and below will get a break. Biden has said 100,000 and below will get a break. I don't think they have a clue what they are talking about. They'll just say anything. Guys like Obama and Biden never give any thing back to the middle class, they just tax and spend.
lol. They could be in Africa and we'd still be in Iraq.
Some people feel safe with a night light on, even though it doesn't really do much good. That's the sit-rep in Iraq. The only time we're really killing terrorists, and its not Al Qaeda but the people we "liberated" from Sadam Hussein, is when they run into the troops and blow themselves up.
