Welcome to Gaia! ::


lets keep it real the only reason I voted for Obama is because of the competition was so crazy there were no other decent choices. Its basically Republicans are pushing extreme right wing ideologies and there science and fact devoid. The Democrats are pussies who bend over backwards to appease the crazed republicans. Obamacare is a big b*****b for the insurance companies. The budget is horrific you have congress wanting to lower taxes like that is going to solve anything. Lower taxes do the exact opposite with economic growth. Never in our history has that solved anything. Also lobbying if ******** bribery. We have the world largest prison population due to laws that make marijuana classified in the lethal category as crack and heroine.

Then the conservative voter base have no clue how our government functions and blames the Obama the executive branch with not coming up with a budget. While gov. budget is the House's responsibility. Then you Obama voters who thinks he will be superman and save the country. He is George Bush except a lot more intelligent and black(which is I think his main problem). When ever has a president birth certificate been questioned?

Look at Europe they do so much better then us. Single payer no private ran government ran healthcare is alot better then the healthcare we have here.(ranked 38 cuba is 37). We spend 1 trillions dollars on defense we worry about NK who if they would attempt an attack it would be like Terminators facing off with cavemen. We have no military threat at all. Iraq we lost 3000 troops compared to a 100000 iraqi deaths. And then people want to cut Nasa whose total 50 year budget is only around 700 billion. We spend that in one year for our military whose the soldiers themselves get treated like s**t. When people think of cutting defense its not there benefits whose getting its the military industrial complex who is getting cut. We spend on average 250,000 for one guidance system for one missle.

Single-payer ain't gonna make it here. Obama's was the second attempt at health care reform, and the second to be met with claims that it was a stepping stone to socialist fascism by the usual suspects for those accusations.
actually, in particular instances, lower taxes are insanely good. not always, but in particular instances. if business taxes are too high, then you don't have any new businesses and existing businesses leave your area for some place that taxes less. hell, the city of Philadelphia gives tax breaks to film companies that spend at least 60% of a film's cost on businesses and locations within the city. so far, it's a new hot spot for large film projects like the entire batman trilogy. this lowering of taxes feeds massive amounts of money into the local economy and makes money for the production company without causing any economic harm.

raising taxes, as obamacare does has rather small businesses paying far more in taxes than they should because of income ranges which are counted b4 costs. i.e. if a company takes in a quarter mil before expenses, it's now a big business despite the fact that expenses are an incredibly large portion.

on the other hand, giving really stupid tax breaks ends up causing many businesses to actually pay no taxes at all.


stupid, greedy, corrupt ******** making abhorrent laws is the issue. intelligent, decent human beings could fix the issues.

The two party system is the problem and the way in which those parties are funded. No real democracy and no transparency.

Lobby your local politician, push for a multi-party system.
