[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1033193, member: 24302"] It really doesn't matter how you feel about the rich(the top 10% in income pay 70% of income taxes by the way), how you feel about FedEx, how you feel about military spending, etc. What matters is we've spent just about all we can and the well is just about dry. Getting the country back on track starts with greatly reducing the amount of spending, something Obama and company don't seem willing to do. If you think we can continue down this path and everything will turn out just fine you are kidding yourself. I'm all for social safety nets, fair pay, and a fair and just society. But throwing trillions down a bottomless pit is just stupid. And it'll be those of us willing to work for a living who'll bear the brunt of paying for it. And by the way, we came out of a terrible recession brought on by Jimmy Carter's policies in the late 70's by Reagan implementing policies that created many millions of jobs.
