McCain only because he is the better of the two, not that I am totally happy with him.
If Obama becomes president and with a majority of leftist democrats in Congress we are screwed big time. The left keeps promising higher taxes on businesses.
Lets just take one of those....they promise profit windfall taxes and cutting the tax breaks on the big Oil companies. So where will the Oil companies get money to pay even higher taxes? You think from their pockets? From the big salary of the CEO... You're wrong...they will get it from you and me and the truck drivers and trucking companies, from the airplane companies that buy jet fuel, from the train companies that buy diesel for the trains. So guess who gets screwed? Not the big oil companies... You and me.
See people from the left don't seem to understand...businesses don't pay taxes, just the people like you and me and your families and friends. Businesses just pass the cost of tax on to the consumers or customers they serve.
Everything that you seat on, eat, wear, watch, drive, play with, etc...takes energy to make and ship to you and your local store or warehouse.
We want companies to stop shipping jobs overseas, then what we should do is stop taxing businesses all together... see fairtax.org for more on that.

2nd thing on my mind is health care. The left want to provide universal health care, well Obama will not come out and say that....but that is what is going to happen. See the plan is to do it little by little until it is totally government controlled. Already 1 in 3 Americans are covered with Medicaid and Medicare and another 10 million under Military Medical Programs. So the left tells us they are just going to subsidize those that don't have company medical plans. What they don't tell you and you have to figure this out, or listen to someone that has figured this out is...
My company subsidizes my medical, I pay some, but they pay some. And many companies do this, well if the government will subsidize, why does a company need to? Companies will just have another way to cut costs. Many and then All companies will just tell their employees (you), Hey we are going to stop subsidizing your medical because the government will take our place....
Also the medical costs have sky rocketed because the government has been a major cause of it. See my insurance company sits down with doctors and hospitals negotiates what costs are paid and how much. Government just dictates.....Medicaid reimburses doctors about 60 percent to 80 percent of the total cost
of care.
(the following numbers are just samples, not exact figures)
Let's say it cost $5000 to have a kidney removed, government tells everyone (doctors, hospitals,etc) what they will pay....say that is $3000.... so Where do they get the other $2000 from.... If you answered from someone that has private medical insurance...you are correct....
To sum it all up...
The government can not solve all our problems and usually just make matters worst. We are the greatest country in the world, not because of the Government....because of our freedoms and liberty. Why are the candidates for President not explaining Liberty and the Constitution....not to change to something our founding fathers tried to keep from happening?
