  • Have you received your trickle yet?

    The tax break for the wealthy has been in effect for over 10 years now. President Bush had the worse job creation record of any president since 1930. When Reagan cut taxes for the rich, unemployment hit 10.5% History has shown (look it up) that when the wealthy get tax breaks they invest in stocks and real estate. Not creating jobs.

    What do we have to show for these Bush tax cuts?

    $700 billion a year in lost revenue. An economy in the trash can because of the greed of the wealthy.

    Millions of hard working people out of a job which they worked for years and out of a home they owned for years though no fault of their own.

    The number of people on welfare and food stamps has quadrupedaled adding more burden to our national debt.

    Meanwhile the fortune 500 companies are reporting record profits and record amounts of cash on hand. All while creating NO JOBS! How is this possible? American productivity has skyrocketed. People are now working more hours for less pay and less benefits. Companies are holding jobs for ransom. They know as long as the job market stinks people will settle for more abuse. They are trying to starve our nation into working for China wages.

    The Republican answer is to punish the victims. Those who are now jobless and homeless will get less welfare less medicaid and less food stamps. They also want to "privatize" Medicare! They will give Grandma $7000 and say "go buy your own insurance!" At the age of 80 how do you think Grandma would do finding insurance? This is all to keep paying for the welfare for the rich.

    The middle class is disappearing along with the American dream because of the choices of those who have it all.

    So I ask again Have you got your trickle yet?

  • Romney says he can creat jobs. Does anyone know how he will do this?

    I can't find any specifics other than lowering the corporate tax rate, getting rid of the EPA so business can pollute our water air and food without consequent. He mentioned getting rid of the inheritance tax (which will only benefit the top 1% and capital gains tax (which is how he made all his money , again the top 1%)

    If tax breaks for the wealthy actually created jobs why are we here? The tax breaks have been in effect ten years... where are the jobs? All that resulted from the tax breaks was a crashed economy !

    So far he's only mentioned ways to make the wealthy wealthier! Where's the jobs?

  • 2002 elantra cam sensor error?

    Neede a water pump and was told I should change the timing belt at the same time.

    After changing the timing belt I get a cam sensor error code. I also hear a whining noise coming from the timing belt area. Mechanic changed the cam sensor. The next day the error was back. He said the wiring harness was the problem . Checked the harness and it is fine. Could the new timing belt be causing the error code?
