    • Yeah "white mans greed runs a world in need" from the memoirs of Barrack Obama. Good luck taking peoples money who have earned it, went to school to be able to earn it, invested time and money to get to earn it. I am in the same as you I owe 250k on a house that is worth 175k 4 months back I owe the IRS 20k. But it is not my right to take someone else's money which I haven't earned.

    • It seems simple to me ...we have tried this trickle down crap long enough. If the rich get richer...they really seem to take the money and run...outsourcing ect.and how about spending 150,000 on clothes ... 100,000 on cars ...so many houses you own you cant even remember how many . I can tell you how many I own...none... the bank owns it!. 250,000$ is alot of money to most people. Lets try the Boil up Theory. We the Average "Joe" will spend the money. I heard that the 700 billion given We "the People" would be in excess of 200,000$ a piece ...give me and my wife that ...hell 100,000 a piece and I might own a house, pay off cars and even invest ...in the end who would get the money yep the same people who have been with trickle down. Problem is this would empower the common person. Do you honestly think the ruling elite ...both corporate and Political really want to empower so many of us. We would have to be controlled by banks ect ... which would mean the loss of Power for those making in excess of 500000+ a year.
      Lets get real .. Making 250K. Both My Wife and I have BS Degrees. I'm a Lab Scientist, she's a RN ...Have worked over 20years 10+ hours a day..NEVER have seen even close to 250k ...Hell I can even throw in my Mother in Laws wages(a VP @ a major Phila Hospital) and the 3 of us still cant come close to 250k.. Teachers,cops,firemen, most of America will not make that kinda money.Cry me a river Plumber . Making 250K a year great for You if you do...but cut the rest of us a break! What ever happen to the Social Consciousness of the late 60's. WE WERE GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD .... GREED!! Thats what Happen! How can CEO's make Over 1 mil in bonuses and his company is on the skids?
      Peace and Prosperity to All.

    • I missed this whole Joe the plumber thing that happened. However I did see him on Hanity and Colmes. He is just a regular man trying to make a living like the rest of us. Socialism? I agree that what Bush is doing now is Socialism. Get a grip I am not an Obama or a McCain supporter and will be voting out side the box. Just not sure whom it will be yet.

    • Is it me or is McCain a little TOO excited?
      Someone should tell him that coffee is bad for your health, at that age at least..

      We SHOULD redistribute the wealth.

      "Grow our economy.. creating jobs..and opportunities for all Americans" -What a bunch of crap!

    • Joe is a REAL American, what,... you use him, try and destroy him, and when it bites you in the butt, you wish he would go away, and that you had never met him. TOO BAD. ha ha ha ha
      How little ye really know about AMERICANS." DON"T TREAD ON US" Because, all your academic achievements won't save you once we've made up our stubborn minds. And JOE the plumber was sent from the heavens to assure JOHN MCCAIN and SARAH PALIN a place in HISTORY. To ASSURE NOBAMA.

    • Joe the fake plumber, again? When will they drop that shill? Anyway, on topic: the most socialist moves were made by the Bush administration in nationalizing the banks... the wealthy get socialism but the lower-class get to prop them up: this is McCain's platform, as was Bush's. I will vote the lesser of two Evils. Mehhhh Obama, (read 'no excitement').
