I agree, Bush did not do everything right, and was not a great president. Tax cuts didnt works, but military was strong. I have experienced my best economical year under Bush and the worst. Socialism, is the littel brother to communism, treat everyone equally, tax equally, which Obama has done. The upper class should be taxed more, while middle class should be taxed less. However, I am not for giving breaks to the people that have run themselves into the ground, that dont have a work ethic, their kids deserve the breaks, but not them. The middle/lower class is full of diverse people, some of which work their tail off and cant catch a break, and others that are content living off of the rest of us. I do not want to pay for those people. Actually right now, it is tough to help anyone but yourself. Socialism is not the answer and neither is fascism, we need a mixture, and guess what that is......a Democratic Republic, what we are (supposedly). Geroge Washington warned us against political parties, and we did not listen. Funny how he was right, even all those years ago. Political parties are a pitfall of our country and should be eliminated. That being said,I will stay on the conservative side of things until a dem catches my eye. They havecreated the separation in thecountry right now. I am not disagreeing with you at all, but I dont think that suck a swing will do the country goodeither, in fact it may be just enough to puch us over the edge. Obama deserves a chance though.
