Headhunter is a college graduate, is serving his country, and has served in combat. He gets major (so to speak) props in my book. If you can't respect what he has done and is doing for your country then you have a problem.
So getting a degree from Degreemill U and serving in combat mean that you can't be a bigot? Hmmm...interesting. If you support him after his ridiculous assertions about Obama's name and religion, you're the one with the "problem."
I think a person with military experience is better suited to be Commander in Chief than someone who has never served.
Based on what? FDRoosevelt did more than fine during the most serious war our country has ever fought.
If you don't want someone taking what you have earned, then why support Obama? Haven't you been listening to him? He is all about redistribution of wealth, like any big government liberal. He wants to "roll back" tax cuts for "the wealthy." He wants to raise taxes on businesses too. He wants to give as much government money (i.e., our tax dollars) to as many people as possible. He wants a government takeover of the entire healthcare system.
His health care plan, if implemented, will be a boon to American business because it will lower premiums overall. Do you realize how crippling to American business health care costs are? The premiums are so high because we have to pay for the costs of providing care to the uninsured.
The uninsured do not get care until it's too "late," in that it's much more expensive to fix something that's broken. Better to have a plan that allows preventive care.
Unlike michael Moore's fantasies, most hospitals do not turn away people who need life-saving procedures. They usually do the procedure and pass the cost on to those who can afford it. Like businesses.
About taxes. He said he will reverse Bush's tax cuts, which will put us back at Clinton's level. My dad has been an oncologist for the last 24 years. I never once heard him complain about taxes during Clinton's presidency.....so I don't foresee a crippling tax burden under Obama.
Corporations can do a million different things to reduce their tax burden (I know this because of the work I do). I'm not worried about them.
I don't have a problem with investing in our future, but we already do that. If we didn't write a single new law or change any existing laws everyone in this country would still have unlimited potential. What we need (at least me anyway) is for the government to stay out of our way as much as possible, unless it's performing necessary services (e.g., defense, public safety, roads, etc.).
This is extremely naive. I don't even know where to begin.
