Barack Obama, promises 50 billion to fight poverty

[Hereford]

Sure,

This IS America, after all.......

Yep, just keep throwing borrowed $ away.  Pathetic.

In responce to the above...the countries experiencing the best recent economic growth are China, India and Ireland.  What do all three have in common?  Lower corporate taxes.  Businesses are built where taxes are low.  Logical, practical and the way the world works.  Obama's desire to increase corporate taxes, employment taxes, payroll taxes and capital gains taxes is a horrible idea for the economic future of this country.

It is ironic that the Iraqi's were calling for a timetable but yet seem very comfortable with us there providing their security.  Its an attempt at show of national strength...however untrue.
I know its a complicated process but we have got to put more pressure on the Iraqi leaders, having them pay for their own infrastructure & building through oil profits and have a solid plan to cautiously and quietly draw down troops.

How many jobs have been created by the poor?

How many are created by corporations?

I really astounds me that the democrats think taxing the hell out of the upper eschilon of society is a good thing. They are the ones that make the jobs that allow people to progress out of poverty.

Of course, most people who live in poverty want handouts, not opportunity.
