When will the democrats realize that? If Obama gets elected this country will go into a deeper recession or worse yet depression. If you tax capital gains more or redistribute income, and let's get it right what Obama wants to do is income redistribution, people won't or won't have the money to invest anymore. The stock market will crash.<BR/><BR/>There is nothing wrong with people owning companies getting rich after all they took the risk and they should be rewarded.<BR/><BR/>As far as morals I'm not sure about republicans having anymore than the democrats after some of these congressman and senators in the last couple of years. Some of the republicans need to practice what they preach.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323727050934358351noreply@blogger.com
