I'd rather have a warm vegetable than a corpse. And how do you know that since there will be higher taxes on the wealthy that the middle class will feel it more? how could that possibly work? He's cutting taxes for the entire middle class. When the top 10% of the population has 86% of the income of the entire united states, you can bet that I would tax the rich more. It hasn't been this bad since the great depression, and I can only hope we can agree that we don't need another one.

how do you know he won't raise taxes on everyone else as well? in order to pay for everything that he wants is going to cost a lot of money. that's going to be one hell of a tax increase on the rich in order to pay for it. now what if it comes to the point where the rich couldn't pay their taxes because of the increase? that'll possibly mean the middle-class, and lower-class will be taxed. yes bush did come up with the idea to start bail out for those who need it. hell obama lied about the stimulus package, knowing it was full of pork. he said it was to help those who need it and help creating jobs right away, which it hasn't. yes i know it'll get worse before it gets better, and his approval rating now under 50%. so far he's just proving my point and other's point that he doesn't know what he is doing. only thing we can agree on is like you said we don't need another depression. i swear to god i do not want to hear hope and change use in someone's campaign ever again.
