Yes, a balance between fiscal and social policies that doesn't abuse either. Pain! But isn't it the "liberal" EU who are making the conditions of "bailout." |

Like banning birth control? Gay marriages? Unions? Continuing tax cuts for the rich? Refusing to consider infrastructure and education expenditures which would benefit everyone in the country, including industry? Eliminating regulations which keep your country a clean and healthy place to live? Destroying SS and Health Care? Neither Martin nor Harper tried anything like that. And those are the things that Canadians look at and say, Go Obama! No doubt the US needs to work toward a balanced budget, with some tax increases and some cuts in spending, but not on the backs of the poor and middle class alone. I think I have seen you say that you would support a more balanced approach, with taxes restructured to be more fair, and some reasonable tightening of expenses. If the Republicans presented a budget that was anywhere near that, you might find some Canadians in favour of a change. Edited by Brewster, Feb 19 2012, 06:29 AM.

MrsS "I agree, if you say irresponsible government.....and I`d be surprised, if a different political leaning had made a difference." On that I agree 100%. |

It would be interesting if someone asked brewster who fits his liberal talking points--he has me on ignore. Just who is the bogeyman he's invented in his mind? |

Ban, we both know that's a red herring. Study after study has shown that the US middle class pays almost double the percent tax that the rich do, and the richest pay less than all but the very poorest. Unless you can explain to me how $1000 paid to federal income tax is much more painful than $1000 in payroll, state and sales taxes, the "50% don't payincome tax" meme is meaningless. |

not talking about the middle tax. Last few years I've been lower middle class in terms of income and have paid little in federal income tax. Even Sea said something to the affect of "how does a nation get away with only 50% of it's population paying federal income tax?" WE all know that our taxing needs total revamping, and I don't think any repubican is objecting to that. The politicians never get around to it. |

When the Reps do Ban, I for one will be happy to reconsider my support fo Obama. Athough it's still going to be difficult to consider any of the present Rep candidates because of the social issues I also mentioned. |

Why would anyone care about who a foreign interloper would support? |
