but for your information, obama is for cutting the taxes of the working & middle classes-- he does not subscribe to the supply side eco-nomix that claims that lowering taxes on the rich will somehow promote the economy & benefit everyone--there is no laffer curve-- facts prove this, but the repukes are against facts, science, & common sense.
he's also for ending the stupid wars and the 10 billion dollars a day we're spending in iraq.
it's under the republicans that the trade deficit has ballooned, the national debt has exploded, and the economy has going to shit while the taxpayer has to bailout irresponsible megacorporations.
moreover, providing universal health care would be a boon for business. i currently own a small business and i can't even find insurance for my own in my state-- if i had an employee, i would have to offer benefits to compete with other employers who offer group health plans. small businesses cannot afford to offer health benefits to their employees.
i could go on an on. im just trying to point out that reality and lofty ideals rarely match.
