So glad that the time is coming closer… to boot Bush out of office! 2 terms too long!

McCain vs Obama

The first debate really grabbed my attention. I love debates and I use the debates more than anything to decide who I want to vote for. Written publications can be misconstrued in so many ways. Too many opinions out there to get a real grasp of the real intentions of the candidates. Yes, the debates are still very much scripted, but atleast its direct from the source and not written by a 3rd party observing a scripted interview.

Well, to be straight forward, I am for Obama all the way. His agenda and logic makes complete sense! McCain’s plan to straighten up our economy makes no sense at all. Especially from a business student’s point of view. Any educated individual with any grasp of how businesses work should see exactly what I see.

Let me clarify… McCain wants to cut taxes for big businesses. His logic behind it is that the money that the businesses save by the tax cut, the big business owners will disperse to their employees or increase staffing to increase jobs. HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? So you’re saying that you’re going to increase their profits and these rich bastards are going to think: “Hey I made so much money this year. I think I’m going to give my money away.” I don’t know about you but looking at past actions indicate to me future actions. In the pasts when the economy was great and big business was rolling in money, I didn’t see them giving money to me. Business is about MAKING MONEY! Not giving it away… unless it’ll quickly result in making more money. It’s called ROI.

Obama wants to increase taxes on the wealthy and decrease taxes on the poor and middleclass. The ‘Robin Hood’ mentality. Take from the rich, give to the poor! Makes sense to me! (Not only because this benefits me) The middleclass is a majority of this country. They are the foundation of the US economy! If the middleclass has money, they will spend money. Spending boosts our economy! When the US middleclass is broke, they don’t have money to spend, so the economy suffers. LIKE IT IS NOW!!

If anything, the economy is the most important issue to me. Healthcare is important, but it’s not as critical right now. International relations are important also. Obama wants to end the war. McCain is on Bush’s side and what’s to continue on the course of disaster and killing. Sure there have been some success in Iraq. We have oil and there’s a democracy. But is this what the Iraqi people want? Or are we forcing it down their throats? We took over Iraq and forced them to form a government like ours. That is what Bush did. We need to end this BS war and stop sending Americans to their death! Too many Americans, Iraqis, and others have died already. Enough is enough!
