John Mccain gets overrated

War presidents - As John McCain seems to be getting strong Republican support in Florida, one might question the sanity of the voters.

After 7 long years of war and an ever slowing and artificially maintained economy, you'd figure Americans would grow brains.

It's unfortunate if we get a war sustaining president into office. The war will only continue to drain our resources for the profit of the Americans who are in position to profit from military needs like weapons and oil sales.

Military oil usage has been shown to increase by as much as 30% or more during war time.

During the war times, the demand for oil is very high for this reason and so when demand goes up, what else goes up??

That's right....PRICE!

What are the main resources a modern day military needs to operate?

ARMS and OIL

Therefore....what is the best business to be in when we are at war....?

That's right...ARMS and OIL.

It's most certainly interesting to do a little quick research into which American own the most military and oil stocks. You'd be surprised.

So it kind of makes you wonder if this capital gains thing is biting ourselves in the tail.

In other words we are only at war to allow the sales of massive amounts of arms and oil to our very own taxpaying selves. All the revenue that results will end up in the pockets of the perpetrator.

Sometimes you need to look a little beneath the surface to see who really starts war!

Republican - How the right wing has lost all credibility

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hardliner democrat or independent always, but when it comes to the political scene, it's hard to escape the fact that the George Bush policy has been the most expensive in history.

Now, I'm not for aborting babies, but it's hard to believe that the same person who could be all up in arms about abortion and claims to value life so much, but then that same person eats meat and still supports this war.

Something seems very fundamentally hypocritical about that.

I have always said that the capital gains tax should remain low since this is where all of our capital risk lies. The corporate tax is the business tax that needs to be higher.

This forces companies to scrutinize their business plans better. To provide long term business success models.

You then lower the capital gains tax in order to recapture a large investment audience so as to increase capital for new business venture.

The problem is many republicans support lower taxes for corporations. This is a mistake. Some of the corporations with the most revenue pay the least taxes. Why? Because they are always growing to capacity. Once a corporation gets to be a certain size, its marketing cost per capita is so low that they are given much higher budgets to experiment with.

The income gap is a serious contrast from rich to poor.

What is sad is when different citizens in the same country alienate each other with such deeply divided political opinion.
