Government cannot operate like individuals or businesses. Its income is dependant on taxes paid and when so many people are unemployed, its income is way down.

More than 40 percent of President Barack Obama's stimulus was tax cuts. Did you know that? Many of the jobs lost in the last few months were because the stimulus ran out. Giveaways to the wealthy only make things worse.

I hope to see another four years of President Obama. Look at what all the Republican governors have been doing in many states and ask yourself if you really want that kind of action on the federal level. I sure don't.

I don't want to live in a "corptocracy" and that's where they want to take the country. Check to see how things worked out for Mussoulini. That's no good for America.
