2008 Election is Just Around the Corner

The 2008 Presidential Election is just around the corner. Who will you choose, McCain or Obama?
Do you want a president that has supported President Bush 90% of the time, or do you want a president that has his own ideas and does not follow Bush? Obama is a young candidate that wants to really change America and make a turn around. While McCain, who is an older man, wants to continue running America with a “Bush” style to it.
Obama wants to raise taxes to help the low and middle class citizens. He wants to spread the wealth among everyone to hopefully make America nicer and have less poverty. McCain does not agree with this decision and wants to make the tax cuts, which were done by George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003, permanent.
Would you rather have higher taxes, or have tax cuts?
I personally feel that Obama raising taxes to help out the low and middle class citizens is not completely fair. I see it as taking money from those who took school seriously and worked hard to become successful only to pay more and help out those who didn’t take school seriously and just goofed off. It’s like Robbin Hood, but taxes, “taking money from the rich and giving to the poor.” How do you feel? Do you think it is fair to raise taxes for those who work hard and make good money?
I also don’t completely think McCains ideas of making tax cuts permanent is a good idea either. Taxes need to be paid, and so do the US debts. The debts that we owe need to paid off some how, and it would be better if it was sooner than later, but with tax cuts it will just take longer.
If taxes are raised, they should be raised for everyone. It should not descriminate against the successful. I don’t know who I will vote for just yet, these are just my ideas and how I see things.
So who are you going to vote for? Why do you support the candidate that you are going to vote for? Did this reading help you make a decision or see things differently?
