We can only afford to go grocery shopping and fill the car with gas.
Save for college, forget it, 401k- in the toilet, my home's value, down 20%.

Why should millioniares have to help you? What choices have you made in life? Did you stay in school? Did you have a child very young? Did you learn a trade? We'll , I'm no millionaire, but I live well. I waited to have kids, I went to college, I learned a trade.
Secondly, America is a capatilist society, the beauty of it is that you get to keep what you earn. If you think stealing from the rich to give to the poor is going to help you you're misguided. Millionaire are the job makers. If you over tax them or make them pay windfall profits tax, what do you think will happen to jobs for unskilled workers? Yep, you guessed it they go away. Hows that work to your benefit?

I see your a restaraunteur, tough business right now. However, taxing the rich and middle class even more will only add to you're misery. People are not eating out because they are pinching. When people pinch, eating out goes away first. So, if we elect an official(Obama) who will bring about even higher taxes will that help you or hurt you? I know the answer to that.

Cheesecake77,

Keep on chugging away at your business in the meantime; think of some innovative ways to compete with the others in your neighborhood. Make sure you have a good business plan, and follow through. Listen to your customers, and take their positive and negative comments seriously, so that you can make a decent profit in your restaurant. If your restaurant is really hurting, you might want to consider having chef Gordon Ramsey help you organize a good plan of attack to make things happen. He's done some wonders for some struggling places. Hang in there, and make sure you vote for someone who will not raise your taxes.

I'm watching the Obaba concert, I think he could outsell the Who for most attendance. Democratic love fest.

I wonder what Barrack Obama & Sen. Biden along with the American people think about Congressionally approved 'civilian labor camps'? Apparently civilians all across America are in need of their own 'labor facilities complete with gas chamber, furnaces, barbed-wire fences and train access. What do you think about this? View the video link to see what Im referring to.

"Which millionaire will really help us?"
-------------------------

I guess that's up to the lobbyist that they are both indebted too.

Good luck in the restaurant biz...I know that's gotta be tough right now.

It's funny, I know college educated individuals with their Masters that are struggling in this economy. A couple of them had their own business but due to this very slow economy and so many people out of work, they are forced to close up shop. In these times, you can have all the degrees in the world, have a beautiful home, gainfully employed, and one day, all your assets are at risk.

So you don't agree with millionaires paying more taxes instead of getting the tax breaks that they're used to getting? Give it up millionaires. Put more in the pot so people who are not advantaged at having that college education, living in a single home or homes, can lift their heads above water. It won't hurt for Mr. & Mrs. Jones to have a little help getting medical coverage for their family.
People need to stop being so uptight and so darn insensative. We never know what's down the road for us. You can have the world today, and be broke tomorrow or get a life threatening disease and lose everything.

So mommareenie, If I'm a millionaire(and I'm not)I should give more money, or be glad to pay more taxes in hopes that I don't lose my job?? I think I'd rather put my money away rather than hand ift over to big brother who will spend it foolishly. Your words "We never know what's down the road for us. You can have the world today, and be broke tomorrow or get a life threatening disease and lose everything.
I'd rather do things my way.

So the republican strategy of less taxes will create more opportunity is bullshirt. The big corporate executives will pay less taxes and raise salaries and have more money to create new jobs. yea, I'm not that stupid, society is about me, me, me. Joe Biden said it all and they have my vote period.

The left has a record of increasing taxes. Look at the Carter administration, we paid higher taxes and lost more jobs. The Carter 4 years gave us the highest taxes which gave us a very troubled economy suffering double-digit inflation, coupled with very high interest rates, oil shortages, high unemployment and slow economic growth. That’s what raising the taxes will do.
When you overtax the wealthy to redistribute their wealth, the first place they stop spending is in the service industry.

Let's not forget Carters windfall taxes on oil companies. What a mistake that was.

Who wants to try that fiasco again?

You can go to the IRS website and see that the top 50% of wage earners are paying 96.03% of the total taxes paid to the government. Isn't that enough? I am far from successful, the first the graduate college in my family and I have to work. To those who are millionaires..........good for you, you do not owe me anything.

Before recently the economy was better than ever, yes under Bush...........nobody was complaining then.

I tell ya, President Bush has done such a great job with this country. Wars on just about every corner of the world. Inflation up, economy down, education in the toilet, people losing their homes, unemployment rate at an all time high, gas prices not much better. And if his successors get in McCain/Palin, God help us all.
Palin really did a great job on her interview last night. She remembered her lines pretty well. She did stumble a few times on foreign policy. But that's ok. We know she has absolutely NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL on foreign policy. The farthest she's been out of this country is to Mexico. And I heard this morning, that because of her total lack of experience and common sense, McBush is going to have a female senator do her debate for her. But yet, Ms. Palin is ready to be VP of this country? I don't care what party you're affiliated with, if anyone with any common sense would want to put their lives in the hands of these two people, either you're straight up idiots or just hate the fact that someone who doesn't look like you could very possibly be the next president of the US and you're so scared, you'd vote for a dead horse before you'd rather to see this country coming up out of the gutter because this man doesn't look like you. So sad, so sad........

Theodore Roosevelt said "To sit home, read ones favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing".

It is easy to blame everything on Bush but if you knew anything about the 3 branches of government and how they work you would know that Bush can't get anything done with out congress and Pelosi and the liberals have been in charge of congress for two years now.
Palin has MORE experience than OBAMA. Like I said if you knew the difference between the legislative, executive and judical branches of government you wouldn't have made some of those clearly uneducated/ignorant comments you did.

I don't care what my next prident looks like but I do care if he has a history of making bad judgement calls.........i.e. Ayers, Wright and the fact that in the two years he has been in the senate he just voted "present" almost 130 times, he is afraid to show people how liberal he is, atleast with McCain you know what you are getting. As president you have to be willing and able to make tough desision at a moments notice, on your own at times without being able to be "advised". Also, Obama wouldn't sign the born alive infant act.............And Palin is a Governor, not a senator. a Governor is an executive position (as is the president) and a senator is a legislative position, there is a big difference between the two.

Can you tell me 3 things that Obama has done for this country?
