What is damaging the economy the most is so many people looking for government support instead of working for their own McDuck piles.

I assume you are referring to the welfare losers that we all have a distaste for in this statement, welfare is 12% of the budget and included in that 12% are the folks who are unable to fend for themselves.. You think we should behead them to save that 8 or 9 percent of that 12% that they live on?

Same as I responded to DJD, if your family's friend doesn't have employees drawing food stamps then they aren't part of the problem, otherwise...

Giving more money to the government does not help the economy, better paychecks do.

people like me... I did draw an unemployment check once for three months if that is what "people like you" was referring to.

There is more right with our country than there is wrong with it, look around the world... We don't even let folks starve who can't fend for themselves but I guess you want that part of your tax dollars back..
Hopeless. Some of the weakest points yet. I guess if you case is weak enough its hard to make strong points.

Explain exactly where anyone takes money out of the economy except the government. When you or anyone else saves money, they don't bury it in the yard, they put it into the system. 401k, stock investments, real estate investments, etc. The more money the government takes, the less that's plugged into the economy. Simple huh?

Your recurring point appears to be that wages aren't high enough. In a free enterprise economy exactly what can the government do about that? What has the president you voted for done about it?

I agree there's still more right with America than wrong, but Barack Obama and Harry Reid are doing everything they can to change that.

Guess we can just agree to disagree. I'm impressed with your civility and tone in your posts.

Good fishing to you. I'm going to Dale Hollow Sunday, and prolly won't have a single thought about politics. Forget an Obama phone, when the hell is he going to start paying for baits. That stuff is expensive.
