Are you voting for Obama just because you hate W?

yeah, i need to do more research on third party options. Can you give me a little information? I realize I am dumb when it comes to politics, but at least I am trying to vote for who i think is right instead of following the crowd.
 
quite a bit of the extra money will be coming from no war in iraq...there are also some government programs that he has talked about cutting (don't know which off the top of my head) - there may be a slight increase in taxes for some, but people need to stop being so selfish (and yes, this is coming from a libertarian) - we all live in america and even though i didn't vote for him, the majority wanted bush as our president - since i would like to continue living here, i'm willing to pay a little extra each paycheck so our country can start paying off our debts and so things don't keep getting shittier and shittier - if you notice, our horrendous economy and stock market situation has been effecting the entire world - clinton had to raise taxes, but many investors found that during the clinton administration, they made far more through investments in part due to the value of the dollar rising (even with having to pay higher taxes) - you cannot go to war and lower taxes and just expect the government to be able to handle all of the extra monetary burden - i don't support the war in iraq, i think parts of our government are corrupt and there have been far too many misappropriated funds, but by not doing anything about it, we will no longer be a superpower and america certainly has the possibility of turning into a jobless shithole - why buy our products when so many other countries are making them for far less?


also, we're talking about business making less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in profit, not 25k...250k in PROFIT - this accounts for less than 5% of small businesses - you're mixing up small businesses and corporations - a tax incentive like this will help over 95% of small businesses do things like provide healthcare for their employees as well as promote employment and growth (don't know if you've looked at the unemployment rates recently)

anyways, there's plenty more and i'm sure someone can chime in if they want, but i'm off to work

i also own 2 small businesses and keeping a business small and earning over 250k in profits yearly is literally a multi-million dollar business and extremely difficult to do (while remaining small)

check the chart i linked above from the washington post - even if you are looking at this selfishly, do you fall into any of obama's categories where your taxes will be raised? can you name some small businesses with earnings reports making over 250k per year in profits?
 
i've never understood why so many people making far far less than being effected by any dem's tax proposal are always on the fence about the economy and seem to prefer the "don't care about anyone but the rich" philosophy
 
This country's fucked up because third party candidates have spent about $500 bucks campaigning for the presidency????



Why tell other people "they're voting wrong!" Seems it'd be far more effective to actually convince them why some other candidate was superior.....
 
responses like that just make you seem dumb and make your other opinions seem less valid. be open to listening to other ideas, its the only way you will grow as a person.
 
i didnt buy into it, i was just saying what i have heard. i realize what i hear is bullshit most of the time. im hear to learn, if you want to rip on someone go to walmart. Theres hours of entertainment there.

and yes, i believe if you have an arrogant state of mind, it is hard to be happy. i am also judging you right now.
 
Probably because they understand that the rich people are the ones giving jobs, selling stuff, and providing services.

"Don't care about anyone but the rich" is a far better political philosophy than "fuck over the rich and increase government spending until your eyes bleed."
 
you honestly think that the majority of poor or working class people vote for this reason? when has job security been called into question with either administration? both want to punish companies hiring illegals and give more jobs to average joe americans - i really think you're off base on this being even close to a majority reason of low-working class people voting (and this has been going on forever - when the job markets are good or bad)
