7) withdrawing unilaterally from Iraq; Why do you object to that? Oil or are you intersted in the welfare of Iraqi's?
8) cutting military spending 25%; It would be helpful to cut military but more importantly, cut down on entitlements (federal retirement packages, social security....) Take a look at what taxes go for. Military spending is paultry compared to entitlements.
11) doubling the capital gains tax rate; c'mon... really? 52%? |
Your key response:
I'm too ignorant to know what this is and too lazy to read up on it - I second that.
I few points - Obama may or may not go after all the stuff listed - since there is no funds, it's hard to say what he will end up doing.
Item 5 - the Fairness Doctrine would, in effect, negatively impact Talk Radio - the liberals are out to eliminate the barrage of conservative imput.
Item 6 - democrats are looking at eliminating the 401K contribution tax deduction.
Item 7 - basically, I don't want to go back - so, this needs to be ended in a well thought out manner with goals achieved versus a date certain without those goals achieved.
Item 8 - entitlements really require a hatchet.
Item 11 - here's where your ignorance comes into play, big time - Barack Obama is in favor of nearly doubling the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to 28 percent. Not quite 50% but very close.
Shape up and do some research, if you don't - you are a liberal.
