Its okie.. as part of Obama's promises he told everyone that 95% of the US working population would see a decrease in their taxes. New healthcare bill, will only cost the taxpayers an extra 15-40% more taxes. Over all by the end of the 4 yrs that Obama is going to be in office everyone will think he is the man of change.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.... yes we all know the tag line.
a Young Jedi was growing up and everyone believed he was the one bringing balance to the force. His way of bringing balance to the force was not to make the dark side = the light side.. his way was to destroy every Jedi and this way there was none to make the force unbalanced in the first way.

This same way is how I am seeing our current government running.. Destroy everything in its path that regards small businesses. 46 million dont have healthcare today, but with this new bill 120 million will be on the new government healthcare bill.

Obama will forever be known for "change" a change that will forever make the USA one of the weakest countries on earth. Whomever comes after him will have to explain to the people that if we dont stop the madness now and reverse the trend we are going to end up with a country soon to be bought out by the Chinese, and if you think this is BS, then think this. The average american household makes about $52,000 now. Paying about $15% of this income to the government in taxes.
How do you keep getting taking home $44,200 a year if taxes go up by 15% ?? Earn average $63500. Now how do you get this amount of money to the american worker ?
How are you going to get him to buy the american made wiget and not the now 15%+ percent cheaper Chinese Wiget ?
Its not going to be possible in the short term. What will happen is unemployment will rise to like 15-20% so we can pay more towards those who are working.
If this energy bill and healthcare bill is passed, we will see a sharp increase in unemployment and small businesses will be going out of business in droves. Remember transportation as it today is hurting because everywhere people cuts costs and cannot afford to keep the transportation business running.. Which means in the end higher costs for EVERYTHING.. and what happened to your salary.. nothing.. I cannot wait to hear about all of this happening sooner than later.. ONE day someone will make sense of this and apply a post here.. I am waiting for someone who is a true believer in the Obama way and I want to hear from you. I want to see what you have to say that will open my eyes to "Change" please indolge me with your correct sense. Because if you are wrong.. then I promise you.. you will have a lot of questions to answer when you go to the voting booth in 2012 and asks "are we heading in the right direction ???"

I think I have done a fairly good job in the past 6 months or so about keeping my viewpoints and opinions to myself, but then sometimes, I feel speaking out, is the only thing some of us can do....???

I should probably take fewer naps in the afternoon, and try to get to bed earlier... :)

If you feel like speaking out go somewhere else with the political rants. The lounge have been pretty calm lately and I would like to keep it that way.

I work for a petrochemical company...dont' like what this foretells for us...

all for something that hasnt been proven.

but hey he's barack obama! http://sendables.jibjab.com/originals/hes_barack_obama

Perception is a curious thing...I don't see any political "rants"....but I can see where my posting the news article about the increase in the cost of living with a picture of BO could be considered "political" and I do understand that Jespers personal beliefs were drawn out by my posting, and although, I may or may not agree with Jesper, I do sincerely apologize to the box members once again for being so careless with my self expressions (cut & paste) in the lounge.

Again, Respectfully,

i wasn't aware that Delock had purchased the HFB from Traci?.....

"I would like to keep it that way"......????....did something happen that no one was privy too?.....

ohhhhhhhhhhh......i get it....part of the NWO/HFB policeman to keep the people in the dark about public awareness and opinions....

isn't that something that we've all been fighting for " freedom" since ..like....forever....

[CichlidFan]

Fishlady, it is part of Delocks responsibilities as the site admin to take steps towards keeping the fish box a pleasant and enjoyable environment for all members, he is only doing his job, and I agree with him.

But love the way you got me back....:)
