Interesting claims - I'd like to know more of what you know on the two candidates as I know much less detailwise about each.
Coming from a Canadian who finds the green party in Canada (the most left-leaning of the four main parties) too right-leaning, I probably have a significantly different worldview.
To me Obama is the furthest thing from a socialist (except for McCain!) as I see the Canadian government, even when it was under the liberals, to be far too right-leaning.
What I'm curious of is why you think Obama is too socialist or 'a' socialist?
Well, to be honest, both Dems and Rep are socialist now. Socialism is simple, big government doing for people what they should do for themselves. Our government has brought forth many socialist programs.
SS and Medicare are socialist programs. They say the Americans can't save for retirement, so the government must. Americans can't save, because of lack of education about how money works. The fact is the government has done a worse job than the people would have. SS and Medicare now owe the American people over 70 trillion dollars, more money in all banks and stocks in the world. The lie continues, but the programs will not be there in the future.
40% of Americans pay no taxes, yet Obama claims he will give them a tax credit. How do you give back a credit to those that do not pay in. The fact is it's just welfare.
All of America now feels entitled. That someone else should pay for their mistakes, wants or needs. Not just the poor, including the rich. We have bailed out farmers, banks, the auto industry. Instead of letting these system fail or be absorbed, we that work must pay for their failure. However, we can't work enough to pay for what's coming.
There will be another mortgage crisis next year. More people than this year will go bankrupt. What will we do, vote in another trillion dollar bail out plan?
The only thing that keeps us going is we print more fake money. In the past, we've gotten loans from foreign nations. This drives the dollar down even more. However, other nations are now refusing to loan us money. Our debt to the world is massive and the fact is we can't pay it back. They would loan us money as long as our economy grew. Due to the energy crisis, our economy went south. The loans have stopped.
There is no fix. We will go through a depression worse than before. Government can't fix most problems because they are now global.
When people are left with no help, they cry to government. Obama will raise taxes. When he raises capital gains tax, the stock market will crash.
Who would invest in stocks when they know they will pay 60% more in gain taxes.
With all the taxes on the rich...who will get hurt, not the rich. They will pass these cost to the consumer. They will move businesses over seas as they do now. Lay offs will be massive and benefits will be cut. Most corporations will drop medical insurance because they can't compete, knowing they can put people on the government medical plan. No raises, bonuses, ect.
What we need is proper regulation. The Rep under regulate, the Dems over regulate. Over is certainly worse. The Dems just voted to allow drilling in Alaska. However, with all the regulation and red tape, no one will touch it.
I admire Donald Trump when it comes to business. I think he is right. The perfect storm has hit. Our economy will face a total meltdown, taking much of the world with it, except India, China and Russia.
Americans that aren't ready will face disaster. We have a young generation that is spoiled. That is why they are for Obama. However, Obama, nor McCain can save us from 30 years of failed policy.
I own a small business, so I have looked at both plans carefully. Obama will be a disaster for small business. However, McCain would never get anything past a Dem congress. Most small business owners had one of their best years in 07, to the worst year in 08. That's how fast things can come down.
but he's above all that kind of mean-spirited stuff)... he wasn't going to take public donations - later on he changes his mind & goes public....
