My reaction "after last night's debate," was quite different.

I think the Republicans are giving the SuperRich individuals and corporations too many tax breaks and unfairly are not giving tax breaks to the Middle Class and the poor.

Exxon, with it's billions of dollars of subsidies and tax breaks is one good example.

The socialist style bailout of Wall St. is another.

I was rather disgusted at McCain, during that debate, when he opposed one of the suggestions of Obama that we have a 'bailout,' plan for the Middle Classes --- a plan to help Main St., and not just Wall St.

McCain went into the typical Republican cliches about how we can afford the money, cut spending, let's not have gov. ...

How nice. Give banks and insurance companies and stock market investment and speculators $ 400 or $500 billions dollars --- than pass a plan that gives them $700 billions dollars more -- while admitting that $700-billions dollars could actually cost more -- it could cost Trillions of Dollars, actually...

Then, after this giveaway to banks and insurance companies, we can't set up similar programs for more average Americans.

Due to Republican policies of the last ten years the wealth of the top 1% of our richest people has gone up. This top 1% now owns 20% of our nation's total wealth while 10 years ago they only owned 8% of our nation's total wealth.

Like the cliche says: "The rich are getting richer but the poor are getting poorer."

Very little of this 'trickles down,' since the stats show it stays at the top.

I don't make a quarter-of-a-millions dollars a year and I'm not into giving away or investing trillions of dollars into banks and investiment firms and then whining when someone suggest giving or investing just 20% of that amount in the average person on 'Main St."

I'm not into your catagories of center-right, center-left, center-center or whatever.

I'm into common sense and fair play (as I see it) and this year I'm voting for Obama, who I

Hey, Joe Biden is back with his pseudonym "citizenbfk".

Once again you've managed to reel off all the democrat talking points like an automaton, and mentioned "stats" without citing your sources. Yes, Joe, just cause you say it makes it true.

Point is, very few Americans are sucked into this socialist/Marxist thinking, as much as you fervently hope to bring this nation to a basket case socialist state, it ain't going to happen any time soon.

That's what this election boils down to. We see through your and Obama's blather and see a far left wing radical socialist running for President.

You will find that Americans are wise, and will reject the imposter. You will also find that your...

You will find that Americans are wise, and will reject the imposter. You will also find that your tenure as a permanent fixture in the Senate is about to end as most Americans wish to "throw the bums out".

When you dems lose this contest, you are going to implode and I just can't wait to watch it.

I disagree entirely with your point of view and your estimation of what 'American's think,' will soon be put to the test.

Here, BTW, is a link to the first announcement of $700-billion dollars in socialism to Wall St.

Recently, The Overwhelming Majority of voters were infuriated that after the taxpayers reached into their jeans and provided an $85 billion bailout, a group of top executives and salesmen saw fit to spend $443,000 of company money being wined, dined and massaged at the expensive St. Regis Monarch Beach resort in California.

Have you heard about that? Do I need to give you a link for that too?

I suspect by your rudeness that you are not really interested in links or info to document my statements -- you will just continue to be insulating.

You seem blind to the reality of the recent Wall St. socialistic bailout and want to make fabricated claims about others being socialist?

Give us all a break.

I am not left, right, center, red, blue, socialist or capitalist.

I work. I own a home. I pay my bills and taxes. I hunt...I would like to see bin Laden killed or captured...and I don't like the SuperRich paying less taxes than me.

The Republicans keep on trying to divide the country when they had so many chances to unite us --like going after bin Laden.

Instead they lied to us, mislead us into the wrong war for the wrong reasons, and give trillion dollar handouts to Wall St. and oppose less that 20% being invested similarly in the average American.

Tax breaks better for the rich have to stop. That's my economic opinion. Next time you refer to it I'd hope you get it right...even though I know it may be difficult because it more than stupid one word caracitures.

If you're not familar with the mortgage or bankrupcy laws, BTW, research them yourself or get a lawyer to explain them to you. But, in summary, if you have 7 houses and 13 cars like John McCain, these laws favor you.
