Barack Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax rate, and he does this under the pretext of spreading the misery!
He said "It's not fair that some of these corporate chieftains only pay 15% on their capital gains and a lot of Americans are paying more. Their secretaries are paying more. It's not fair! It's not fair! So we're going to raise rates on capital gains."
He acknowledges it will reduce revenue, but says, "It is more fair."
It is going to harm the very people that he wants to help, and those are the people who are employed by rich people!

Obama wants everything to be FAIR. Right. Everybody gets their share of the pie. The government will give them "what is needed"
In capitalist systems, society is ruled by individuals. Who would want to live any other way?
If you like the government to own everthing that is a socialist system, society is ruled by the state.
Why would one want to live like that?
Well my answer is not many folks, especially those "war on terror" senators.
Even if BO gets to be Prez, he won't get anything accomplished with his liberal agenda.

I think Barack Obama will be a great President. Unlike Hillary Clinton and lot of senators, he was not caught up in the "War on Terror" BS. And McCain remember, wants to "modernize" social security, which in republican-speak translates into privatization.Everyone in Coos County saw what happened to our railroad, which is privately owned. The money for the tunnel repairs is now Michael Jackson's hands, to keep the miniature railroad open at his Neverland Ranch. Is this the kind of investments in our future we want?

Patricia, I take great offense that someone such as yourself would generalize all men as to being as moronic as you describe. Take a look at Senator McCain and all he has done for his country, compare that to Senator Clinton or Obama. What we need in this country is less fem-nazi's and more people willing to stand up and support their leadership.

If one looks at all the " lies, deceit, lose of intregity, and screw-ups" this country has endure with a male President~ isn't it time to give a woman a chance.. must the American people continue to allow a male President to keep "driving around running out of gas because his ego will not ask for directions" for another 4 years. How many more times does this country have "to run out of gas" before the population wakes up and give the keys to someone who willing to say they are running out of gas and not afraid ask for directions ~ Come on, think about it~there is no way Senator Hillary Clinton can do worse than President Bush has. Take your heads out of the ground~ look around~ see where this country has been going for the last 8 years~ think about the direction it should be going than give the keys to the person who can get us there. Beginning with bringing the troops home. Let a woman do what she does best..a good old fashion house cleaning. beginning with the dirtiest house in the country~ the White House.

There is so much more that people need to investigate before voting for Obama.
