We've had this discussion, Obama even said that less people are paying ANY taxes, it's because poor people and most middle income people pay ZERO taxes, so any tax cuts that only benefit the rich, it's just a way for the democratic machine to spin it.
I have offered solutions, get rid of NAFTA, make it a level playing field for American companies to compete with foreign labor. less government means less taxes. More people working in better paying jobs means more people have healthcare. Use a pipe that goes inside the oil leak and inflates seals with hydraulic pressure to seal the fit with no leaks. Pull out of the two wars completely, drill for domestic oil, control it to supply the US first, then sell to other countries to bring down the price of oil world wide, taking away the money from the middle east and bankrupt them like Reagan brought down the USSR with star wars. Then when the economy can handle it, work on green energy, fire up the nuclear reactors and run them like the military runs reactors on a nuclear sub, no worries.
If I saw one thing that would indicate that things might get better, I would agree with you, but doing the math, it doesn't add up. And remember it got worse under a democrat controlled house and senate, so I'm not looking to the democrats to make things better

Wow, so much good stuff in your post.
NAFTA was a republican fuck you from the get-go. Whoever didn't see this as a shift of the manufacturing base(and an attack on the middle class) was an imbecile.
Healthcare will never be reformed as long as lobbyists are free to throw money around like a drunken shriner at a whorehouse... without tort reform there will always be problems with health care costs and delivery.
The class warfare that the US taxcode inflicts on US society is nothing short of evil. The very wealthy pay little tax while those that work and make the economy click are ridden like beggars on a borrowed horse.
I would actually feel good about Obama if he pulled a JFK on our dependency on oil. JFK made it a national initiative to land a man on the moon. If Obama would set aside 1 trillion dollars to the first company that produced an internal combustion engine(or something equivalent) on a renewable energy source, our dependency on oil would all but cease. But that will never happen as the oil companies spend too much money in Washington.
I could go on and on about what should happen... but until money and politics aren't synonymous, I am just pissing in the wind. Obama sucks more than Bush. At least Obama is intelligent enough to know he's fucking America... Bush I am not so sure he had a clue.
