And the glaring, unaddressed problem with Obama's tax proposal is that he has yet to explain how raising taxes on the businesses that employ, and provide products and services to, the public could possibly be good for the economy.

How does more taxes on the poor help? It already been shown, Reaganomics didn't work. It pushed the problem off until recently. Which, is indeed exactly what that current bill did. Postpone it until later, so our children will have to handle it.

You're right, and its a good thing he doesn't. Look what Bush did with what little power he had over the armed forces, specifically the marines. Like deployment without authorization.

think we still have more then we need on our plate. Over 1 trillion into armed forces of Iraq, almost 1 trillion into a bailout for private greedy bank investors, who invested terribly in order to of lost the money anyway. As I previously stated somewhere, 250Billion dollars, is enough to provide health care for every American Citizen. Enough to repave every road, and fix every bridge. Almost a quarter of what it costs to save these banks from crying. Which in my opinion is more useful? Lets not ask...
These trivial prices people, just aren't as hard to come by now days. Its what we do with them that makes the difference.
