I had to skip over the absurd “socialist” comments because I started fussing at accusation, but then I calmed down and read it thorugh. I am one of those who beleives the nation will be better served if the President is allowed a second term. Anyone who expected recovery from a economic down fall that began 30 years ago, was naive. It will take two of his terms, then maybe two more from someone with similar and who is a little tougher about taxes. Taxes are like anything else when you want quality–you get what you pay fo. If you are not willing to pay for anything, you either get nothing, or if you go the coupon route, a lot of things you don’t necessarily need or that you can use. We just have to keep on the government to make certain those tax dollars go into the right kind of programs.
