The Election
It is a bit late for this comment but I will post it anyway......
I think we have had enough of the attack ads from both sides. If I could, I would vote for none of the above. Once again we must choose the candidate that we believe will cause the least damage down the road.
I do not see how making scurilous accustaions at each other is going to help the country.
Both candidates talk about the why and the what, but neither of them talks in detail about the how....
I see no way at this time that any candidate can promise tax cuts in any form. I believe that what needs to be done is the closing of all the tax loopholes that the wealthy and large corporations use to avoid paying their fair share of the burden we all face in this country.
Raising taxes on the "rich" is no answer. The entire economiy is out of whack. Those who cheat the system are rewarded and those who deal honestly are penalized. This has to be brought to a close.
It is time to that we considered the value added tax. In that way everyone pays regardless of income level.
I also believe that the perpetrators of the "subprime mortgage market" should should be held responsible because they knowingly promoted something that they knew was inherently wrong. It was done strictly for the sake of greed and now the nation is paying for their excess. The people of the United States should not have to pay the bill for this fraud. We need to recoup the the profits that were made on this debacle.
Let those who created this problem rectify it. The people of the United States should not have to bear the burden of the greed of those who made millions in this financial disaster. I believe that the Ricco Statute could be applied to those who caused this mess.
I should have written this letter months ago. Unfortunately I was so fed up with the rhetoric that I stopped paying attention. As my mother used to say we need to stop all the political "HORSEMANUVERING" and work to save us
