  • Do you think either Presidential Candidate get it as to what is hurting the middle class?

    I think both Candidates are so lost in bailing our the big financial sector and wall street that they have lost touch with what the actual middle class needs. If either of you are listing, WE NEED JOBS. If we have jobs we can pay federal, state and sales taxes that generate revenue for government to help it's people. If we have jobs we can pay our mortgages, cars, gas, food, clothing, education, Christmas gifts, etc. All of this till stimulate the economy.

    McCain and Obama keep talking about small business, what about the big corporations who have shipped our American jobs to countries like India, China and Mexico for cheap labor in the name of Globalization. India and China's economy is booming because our big corporations are investing in those country, paying cheap labor and pocketing the profits, they are not sharing those profits with the American people who are suffering the consequences of their so called GLOBALIZATION. Globalization works when it is equally balanced between your own economy and economies of other countries. Balanced Globalization will help both local and foreign economies grow and prosper. But our current form of Globalization means take it from the mouth of American Families and give to the rest of the world.

    Don't tell me (referring to the candidates) that you will create new industry that will create new jobs, no but I also want enough jobs that Americans have lost to be bought back to stabilize our local economy.

    McCain calls for more de-regulation and tax breaks for big Corporation because it is a trickling down affect, it will create more jobs, but does he guarantee that these jobs are going to be promised to American and stay in America?

    Sorry Just ranting my frustration with both candidates. Care to share your thoughts.
