I think it’s pretty safe to say that no matter who gets elected, American military presence in Iraq will be permanent (like Korea, Japan, Germany) and the investment banks will be getting bailed out as much as possible. All paid for by us.
The question is, how long are Americans going to take this? I for one am sick of being an ostrich. At least 1/3 of most people’s lifelong working career is dedicated to paying taxes, and those taxes are being used to enrich a privileged few. After sales tax and everything else we probably pay the equivalent of taxes in a socialist society but we don’t get any of the benefits of one (health care, retirement, etc).
Check this out, especially all the taxes and acts that led up to it. Please do not take this as incitement, rather just an historical observation of the similarities between then and now.
