I personally am really looking forward to paying double the social security tax I'm currently paying.

Getting out of the economic nightmare the neo-cons have gotten us into won't be cheap. The cost of the war alone will be passed to many generations even if taxes are increased now. And from what I've read Obama's plan isn't to raise taxes "through the roof." But all politicians seem to claim they won't raise taxes, yet most end up doing so anyway. so who knows? What he says and what he does may be two completely different things.

I can't figure out why conservatives get all upset when people call them fascists. Considering the fubar Bush and Co. has sent the US into I'm willing to try a little European socialism, not a lot but a little. I used to know a Danish guy that worked on building roads in his younger years. One day over a game of cribbage he and I were talking about the difference between his country and mine. He asked me how the US usually decided which company built which highway or road. I told him it's my understanding that for the most part it goes to the lowest bidder. According to him in his country the bid goes to the company suppling the longest warranty, the government sets the price. He laughed and said "you want to drive on the road built by the lowest bidder or the guy that will stand by his work longer?"
I willing to try something else. Every time we've had a conservative in office that I can remember the debt's gone up and the governments gotten bigger and spent more. Bush Jr. is the first one I can remember that didn't go back on "no new taxes." He hasn't done shit to stop over spending, his solution has been to just borrow more money.
