    Obama gives tax cuts to those making less than 250k.
    McCain gives tax cuts to those making more than 250k.

    Obama is aiming at helping the middle class.
    McCain is giving handouts to the very wealthy and large corporations. I am honestly bewildered how anyone can think that is good for an economy!!

    The last 8 years has given more and more to the very wealthy, making it an extremely disproportionate distribution of wealth. Criminal, imho, that companies, the rich, etc., made so much more money, paid less taxes, while the middle class continued to decline.

    Our health care system is an abomination. The fact that so few have it is just insane. The cost is insane. The abuse of drugs/prescriptions is insane.
    We need a health care system that is run by someone other than insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies that just want to push the latest drug for profit (no new drugs, no inflated prices, no huge profit).
    Also, the quality of care here is absurd.

    Yes, most people I know live hand to mouth, even those that are making close to 100k a year. I agree that is sad, but that is the case.

    • where does it say a doctor should be paid more than a teacher? or a general? or a senator?capsize
    • the fact that they're smarter, study longer and work harder. Doctors are 'it', as far as Im concerned. Look at House!mikotondria3
