1) And if you make more than $200k/yr, you are "rich", and defined as such you will get SOAKED; thus, you will have little incentive to keep earning what you do now,--the opportunity to make a nice profit will simply not be there.
If you make over 200G you ARE rich.
I think they'll be just fine.
we are going to pay for the social security bailout
You mean the bailout required thanks to mismanagement of funds by the current administration?
2) Nationalize health insurance. We're going to cover EVERYONE, including illegals/immigrants--guess who's going to pay for it? Remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Someone has to pay...It ain't gonna be the super rich, and the poor certainly cannot pay for it. Yup, you're right--those of us in the middle, working class will be footing the bill
A country where being poor doesn't prevent you from having a measure of health coverage- imagine that.
It's almost as bad as what they have in most of Europe. It's barbaric.
3) Draw down troops and eventually withdraw from all military involvement in the Middle East.
Excellent!
4) pass the "card check" unionization bill--no more secret ballot, as has always been the case up till now in votes, union thugs will be able to intimidate and coerce people into voting for union representation because now they will know which workers are not on the 'list', and thus they can apply pressure and coercion tactics.
Union workers that vote against the union are hypocritical leeches.
5) Want to 'engage' and talk with countries and leaders that openly hate us and show us no respect, like Hugo Chavez, Amejinad(sp?) in Iran, Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, Bashar Assad in Syria, etc..etc...Bottom line, if he's a dictator, Obama wants to talk, make nice, and negotiate with you.
Excellent!
A President that understands that you have to give respect to get it.
That's novel.
He probably thinks that since it's not possible to bomb every country that openly criticizes US foreign policy it's good to engage them as opposed to further alienating them.
6) Bush as a republican did a bad enough job enlarging the size of our federal government
Glad you admitted that.
Place the health, safety, and prosperity of the workers, the backbone of any business, over profits?
I'm really liking this guy.
Minimum wage jobs that no one can survive on without also working a second or even a third job.
