    Actually I think I know his idea..... you see he wants to double the size of our military and reduce spending so hes going to eliminate FEMA/Federal grants/all maintenance on roads... increase income tax 10% accross the board/ end entitlements and kick inflation up to 12% to compensate for the balance....oh and did I mention the Oxygen consumption act of 2010? I fkin hate this guy.... hes an idiot...

    (this post reeks of sarcasm)

    P.S. I've been watching the election closely and catch him directly LYING on multiple occasions...

    His plan makes no logical fkin sense bro...none what so ever..... its retarded so not funding NASA, the arts and cutting taxes is going to put us in a surplus

    Its like saying I'm going to drastically Increase my spending on gear and suppliments every month.... and keep everything relatively the same but... I will walk to seven eleven which is 4 blocks from my house instead of drive and I'll use the surplus to purchase a new Ferrari

    Well if Obama or Hillary become president, they are going to tax your profit on inflation a lot more than McCain will.

    The democrats will wipe away any profit made in anti-inflation investments, and give that money to people who don't care about investing..

    so than all your hard work and knowledge have gone for nothing.

    Most nations around the world, DO NOT even tax profit made on investments.. and almost all nations except the U.S. do not tax profit made on the exchange of currencies.. .. and you can't get away from it, by like moving to another nation.. If u're a U.S citizen they expect you to pay the taxes no matter what country u go to.. and you can't denounce the citizenship if u really wanted to either.

    Obama and Hillary are already making more and more promises to every person out there who has a sad story.

    Not hearing the other side of the story, of how that person is LAZY and maybe screwed up his life a long time ago.. doing stupid stuff.. and etc..

    while everyone should be able to re-deem themselves, it shouldn't be done thru the welfare system (hell a lot of this people are screwed up because of the welfare system, like paying child support etc... welfare system encourages bad family values)
    Nothing against child support, but I see so many young good guys screwed up for 18+ years because of this. While the chick goes off screwin more guys, not getting marrried, and collecting checks left and right... luckily i dont have to deal with that situation now, but u never know in the future.

    I Liked Ron Paul the best..

    now I realize there are 2 choices left McCain and Obama.

    and some people say that there is no big difference between the two choices, but I see a whole world of difference.
