and you are wrong about the taxes newjack, they aren't all beneficial. i would rather have more money out of my paycheck that i can spend on necessities rather than handing it to welfare recipients and illegal immigrants. sorry... we are not like the french or the danish. my family is from england and i have know how their system has affected them. they pay so much money to the government and receive none of the benefits that you have mentioned.

1.) What welfare benefits are illegal immigrants getting?</p>
<p>2.) It's cheaper to have the government pay for certain things. Don't you think it's pretty nice of the government to deliver our mail? Well, guess what, stuff like that costs money. How does the government get money? Taxes.</p>

Actually, I was watching MSNBC and as of 30 minutes ago, they still have not found any reasons to believe that he was there during one of Wright's hate speeches.</p>

Regardless, Hilary's chief campaign adviser has stated that if elected, Hilary will immediately pull our troops out, regardless of any potential devastation . It was also stated that any recommendations given by chief war strategists would be ignored. Slightly more promising than Obama, if that is what you are interested in.

I agree. Who I trust to best handle the Iraq War situation:
1.) Obama
2.) McCain
3.) Hillary Clinton
In her speech today, she basically said she would disregard common sense and pull troops out no matter what. Sounds similar to how Bush wants to "stay the course" no matter what.</p>

Uh, you must have a very skewed view of the middle class. She's said that she wants to raise the taxes on people making over $200,000/year. Do you consider that the middle class?

Any candidate who is going to raise taxes for anyone better deliver, though. As a country, we pay really high taxes for what we receive in return. Also, if you make over $150,000 you're pretty much screwed in terms of taxes right now. I think it's wrong that we treat families who make $200,000 a year the same way we treat Oprah and Bill Gates. (It could also be the case that Oprah and Gates pay less taxes than these families percentage wise since Gates and Oprah have access to lawyers who can reduce their taxes.)</p>
