This notion that the rich are handing their money over to the poor is absolute BS, to get this country headed in the right direction it takes responsible fiscal action but it also requires FUNDING.

Those who are lazy will be so under McCain's plan and they will be so under Obama's plan.. neither of them have the power to motivate people to get off their ass.. that is not the presidents job. TRUE income redistribution would be the government coming into your home, taking everything you own and dividing it up amongst society.. nothing Obama has proposed even comes close to that.
I ONLY WANT MY TAX dollars to go toward the military + keeping our currency in check. Its when you add the other B.S. i get ticked off. I will fund whatever is needed to keep our military #1. you cant have a country bombed, or jihaded by planes to be successful.

Yes it requires alot of fiscal responsibility, i agree. However im not seeing any conservatives get involved. I just see 57 trillion in liabilities obama is proposing. Keep in mind we only make what? 4.7 trillion GDP?

The bolded part is too extreme and we both know this. the half assed marxist method is being pushed. Obama is handing out "tax credits" (welfare) to people who dont even contribute to the country. Now how does that create jobs? McCain isnt giving out free lunches to the lazy. It is a political stunt to entice the "majority" of americans.

Just like in the 70s when they did the windfalls profits tax and made gas go over 5.00 a gallon
