hello america!!! well, it's too late to re-vote but, as you read the links below, the questions should be: 1, why are we just now hearing about these numbers? & 2, how in the hell is raising the taxes on just the rich going to help us?
the answer to #1 is; nobody seemed to have put all the numbers together or, if they did, they flat out lied to us. obama had to know because all of these numbers had to cross his desk so he'd know just how much money we need to pay our bills.

we all know about the $16 trillion number &, apparently, our fed gov't decided that that is all we should know about. there is no way in hell that you or anybody like you can convince me that our treasury dep't didn't know the real amount of debt, nor can you convince me that they kept that info from obama.
the answer to #2 is: it doesn't. we just won't generate enough revenue if we only raise the tax rates on those making $200,000 or more. while it may seem to be a talking point that obama wants to make good on, charging the rich more just to help the middle class is not only wrong, it won't work. in truth, i believe it will have the opposite effect on america that obama & company refuse to accept...&, that is; it will hurt our job growth because it would effect everybody & every business making about $547.94 per day or, those making about $3,846.15 per week. that's a lot of small business's that are going to feel that pain & because of it, they will hire less. when you have to pay more, you're forced to do less.
