The main issues this election season are: 1. The economy, 2. The economy, and 3. The economy.
Also, affordable health care, more jobs that pay a decent wage, bolstering social security.
First and foremost, we need to get ourselves out of Iraq. That $10 billion per month could be much better spent in this country on any number of things.

McCain/Palin prefer to try to trash Obama/Biden. Why? Because they have no answers to the problems we face.
Voters need to stay focused on the issues and not to be be distracted by the mean-spirited, name-calling from the McCain/Palin campaign.

So sopall, if tax increases is good for the economy, why not just take all of the profits from the big bad corporations, and rich people.

I am increasingly coming to see that the wealth disparity in our society is part of the problem with our economy.

I agree with you, but I hope your prediction is wrong.
