   Really? Then how come they now are talking about anyone over 150K are   
   rich? The poor do not pay direct taxes, have not for years and they also   
   get handouts. The middle class taxes are going up, yes, UP, due to the   
   non-renewal of the tax cuts. Add to that all the extra taxes you will   
   pay via increased corporate taxes. Do the math, don't trust others to do   
   it for you.

   It should never have happened, and the bail out was necessary due to the   
   mismanagement of federally subsidized loans to people that did not   
   deserve them. Who from FreddieMac (sp) ran it into the ground via   
   mismanagement and illegal practices, and who is a current confidant of   
   Obama, OH MAMA! Obama himself is partially responsible for this mess,   
   especially via his legal support of ACORN. McCain to his credit tried to   
   get a bill passed to thwart the current outcome but if failed. Every   
   democrat told him it wasn't necessary. Look what it is currently costing   
   us.

   Yeah rrrrightttt, lol. None of it has happened, then paperwork has not   
   been penned and Obama is backtracking like a mofo caught with his pants   
   down.

   Try the real facts, not rhetoric. I do not like McCain but I do despise   
   socialists in our country.   
      
   Pay attention to what is coming out regarding ACORN, and the use of the   
   one million dollars that Obama spent to gain votes via them. Although I   
   doubt it will get a whole lot of play it will be hard for them to   
   completely ignore the testimony of the lady today.
