Well, Obama is meeting with French president Sarkozy to hopefully discuss American economics today. What bugs me is that Obama is slightly to the left of Sarkozy, who recently lowered capital tax rates in France and abolished that ridiculous 35 hours/week labor law.
I fear that if Obama does get elected, which isn't unlikely at this point, he will want to raise every tax known to man, completely blame the rich for the widening socioeconomic gap in America, and ultimately discourage pro-worker, pro-business growth here, instead of promoting growth for EVERYONE by giving the poor the tools, education, and training they need to succeed in this capitalist society.
Nothing is accomplished by limiting everyone with taxes and regulations, other than economic regression. We should be removing those limitations for everyone.
Hopefully Sarkozy will talk some sense into him.
