		<description>This really is beautiful; I agree 100%. When large corporations get the tax breaks, I cannot begin to explain how angry that makes me. So many of them (like Wal-Mart) actually reduce quality of life in the towns/cities they are in, because they pay such low wages (to keep those prices low), forcing other stores to do the same, resulting in an increase in the number of people receiving welfare. And for all this, they get the TAX BREAK. It makes sense to make sure that everyone in this country is well fed and sheltered, and has medical insurance. There is too much wealth in this country for it to be in the shape it's in.</description>

		<description>After reading some of the material that was sent home with our kids here about the candidates my position of sitting on the fence has changed.

I don't think McCain is the man for the job.

He also believes that people should not have to have health insurance and that he will lower taxes for people who buy their own health insurance.Yet, on another matter he believes it is good to help students who don't have a lot of money to go to college. That is a contradiction if I have ever seen one. Oh yeah and his wife is in charge of a large beer business that her father started.

I also don't appreciate the fact that Palin totes her special needs child around like she should get special consideration for her special needs child because he has special needs. Where is that special consideration for that avg working person who has a child with say autism struggling to find services to help him or her make ends meet and to take the strain off of that parent even for a short period of time. Of course it is easier for her to deal with him she is a public servant who can call on anyone at anytime to come to her aide. What about those of us who have problems just getting our kid to school.

So anyway that is my rant sorry to visit your blog and rant on the first visit but this is how I feel. I am just glad that someone else finally had the guts to say the words I have been hesitant to say because politics just isn't my thing. It is kind of like religion the two conversations are hot buttons for everyone.</description>

		<description>Oh I love reading the rants of liberals.  You people crack me up.  JayMonster reads like someone who spends too much time reading the political insight of Sean Penn &#38; Al Franken.

I work w/ numerous high net worth clients, most of them with net worths in excess of $25 million.  Most of them earn over $5 million annually.  Every one, EVERY SINGLE ONE, donates in excess of $200,000 per year to very worthy charities that do a lot of good.  So this nonsense that rich people only care about themselves is again, ramblings from someone who watches too much Oprah.

The issue isn't about helping the neediest of our fellow Americans.  It's the notion, perpetuated by the left, that every family earning less than $100,000 is in need of assistance and that those of us evil Americans making more than $250,000 should cough up what we've worked hard for to help.  Somehow the left thinks it's wrong for me to think I should spend my money raising my family.

I see entirely too many families that make under $100,000 that live as though they make $250,000.  They purchased the house that's at the upper limit of what they can afford, they have the new plasma TV &#38; drive the Suburban.  But somehow the guy who makes $250K is at fault for their troubles &#38; is demonized for expressing what I've written here.

I have no trouble helping out the neediest of people, regardless of nationality.  I DO have a problem with the gubment telling me I have to cough up more of my money just because Joe Sixpack, who makes a modest $70,000 can't put gas in his Hummer.</description>

		<description>You are confusing two issues here.  Issue one, the reality of the cries of socialism.  For those that think we pay too much already with an overabudance of social services, even $295 is too much more.

These same people, again are those that don't believe in social services, hence they couldn't care less about that single mother of three.  She is an abomination anyway.  She should be married and home tending to the kids while her husband works.  So why should these people have to pay for "somebody else's issues."  They don't believe in helping anybody but themselves.  Anything else is "socialism" so you pleas are falling on deaf ears.  Unless it affects them directly, the don't want to hear about it.</description>

		<description>Here is the fundamental issue that I cannot wrap my head around: Why would you not want to contribute what you can to help lift everyone in the community? The world is a better place when we are all successful. The corporate richies are nothing shy of greedy parasites on this planet; they make their millions off the backs of others while not giving back. And let's not forget the insane salaries they happily pocket. Sickening.</description>
