I don't get it...

I just flat-out don't get it. There are some really REALLY stupid people in this world. We all know that. But the ones I'm specifically referring to are the ones that think Barack Osama, uhm, I mean Obama is the answer to our economic crisis. Well, first off, it's fake. There is no real "crisis." It's all made up to be worse than it is because of stupid people. The Osama-biased media tries to make things seem so much worse; therefore people who don't do research for themselves to find out where he really stands, and who simply feel that Osama is good for his word, are the ones that are making things worse. But the problem isn't the current president's past or present economic policies (as my previous blog stated.) The market is simply correcting things to be where they should be. Remember the Dot.Com boom & bust? Now it's happening with the Housing Boom & Bust. So just don't panic... it will all level out.

Anyway, tax breaks for the middle-class sounds great considering most of you reading this blog are "middle-class" (financially speaking -- myself included.) I'm all for tax breaks. So instead, Osama wants to raise taxes on the companies people work for and make them pay MORE money?? That's such a wonderful idea! Raise taxes on companies who employ people, and do it during a time where just about every company is struggling to keep afloat! Why didn't McCain think of that? BECAUSE IT'S BACKWARDS THINKING! What happens to a company that's having a very difficult time staying afloat already in a struggling economy that now has to pay A LOT more in taxes? They have to cut back on costs! This includes, cutting back on benefits (and no, not just healthcare benefits) but also cutting back on STAFF! That's right! They have to lay people off! Look at the airlines, for example. No one can afford to fly to begin with, so what do they do? They raise fees! What happens then? Now, even less people can afford to fly! So now they're making even less money, so they have to cut back on staff since they can't afford to pay them. Now they're unemployed along with thousands of others... so now what good is a tax break going to do for them? If they're not working, then they're not paying taxes, right? Yeah... let's raise taxes on corporations... what a great idea!
