I totally agree with Janie. With all due respect Greg F. you are being prejudice by implying that ALL republicans are like the racists she showed in the south. I'd like to point out that 30 years ago all those "good old boys" were democrates! I'd also like to point out that a greater percentage of the republicans voted for civil rights. If you went to a Clinton rally, you would have seen her supporters with the pictures of President Obama dressed like Bin Laden. Isn't Jesse Jackson a democrate? I seem to remember he used the "N" word too. We need to get past the name calling and actually listen to each other. I did not vote for President Obama because I don't agree with his policies. I think the stimulus bill that congress threw together was a disaster! The banking melt-down is due to Barney Frank and the Congressional Banking committee forcing banks to make loans to people that had no hope of being able to afford it. Now we're going to raise taxes on the top one percent so everyone else can feel like they're getting even. The problem is the top one percent is currently paying 40% of all the taxes. The top 25% of wage-earners are currently paying almost 90% of all the taxes. Before this is all done the bottom 50 percent will have to pay more because the debt will be too great. I conceed that the republicans totally blew it when they had power! Is anyone out there willing to at least consider the possibility that 10 extra dollars a week might not help prime the economic pump?
