The county isn't collapsing. It was collapsing until Obama came in and saved this counties ass despite the opposition he had to deal with. Bottom line, we were in a depression, now we're not. Auto industry saved. Millions more insured. Unemployment down. Record job growth. Stock market up. Gas prices low. Bin Laden dead. Iran not making nuclear weapons. These are all good things. No he's not perfect but this country was on the verge of collapse before he came in. He's also delt with more opposition then any other president in history. Illegals aren't stealing our frigging jobs. Farmers actually rely on them. Construction relies on them. Without them housing prices would go through the roof along with produce and other things. The attacks we've had are from US citizens.
We need to continue to improve this country and keep ascending. Not go back to the Bush Era.
We don't need another 9/11. We don't need another depression. We need to close the corporate loopholes. Raise taxes on the rich. Incorporate the estate tax top. Help college students afford college. Train more people for blue collar work. Fix our infrastructure and push clean energy which will also create jobs. Improve our health care even more by going to a single payer system. Strengthen our unions. Help our teachers.
Tax breaks to the rich are not the American Dream. Trickle down is not American. Everyone should strive to be the best they can be and keep pushing. But when you get there it shouldn't be well screw the rest of the country I worked hard and that that. Or really bad, get lucky and be handed down money and just forget about everyone.
America was founded on the opposite of oligarchys. Handing down money for example without an estate tax continues the tops rein.
The middle class is what made this country strong. When we taxed the very wealthy over 90% we were thriving. And no one is even talking about a rate close to that and they still bitch abd call for trickle down. It doesn't work. The middle class is the consumer. The everyday spender. Not the rich. That's what keeps this country running. Small businesses employee more people, not the corporations. You give tax breaks to the middle class, they spend more money. That helps businesses thrive which in turn helps them expand and hire more people. It also puts more moeny onto our country, along with the taxes the rich will have to pay. More jobs. Better paying jobs. More houses being bought. Cars being bought. Small, and large, businesses making profits. It comes full circle and creates a thriving economy.
Get the middle class flowing more while taxing the rich and investing in our country. You'd be surprised how fast things can turn around and the domino effect that can take place.
But before all of this we have to expand training, fix college tuition, make an investment in infrastructure, close the tax loopholes, and give some relief to the middle class.
