Things are going down hill...

Things these days are really going down hill. There has been bad journalism, Wall St falling apart, and the presidential candidates don't know how to fix things. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see all of the debate last night, just the first 15 minutes or so of it (while I was working and I even couldn't pay full attention because I had to concentrate on my work) but I do know what was talked about just by reading the story on it in the New York Times and they spoke about the financial crisis, that has in fact spread throughout the world, and the war. I believe that the money that was lost in the United States went overseas to Iraq. That's the only explanation to me. Obama doesn't really want to raise taxes. He said "those who make less than a quarter million a year will not see their taxes go up". I think that is a little reasonable because the upper-class (upper-upper and upper-lower) should pay more than the middle and lower classes.

To clarify the two upper-classes: upper-upper are those who were born into wealth and upper-lower are those who acquired it sometime during their life. As Chris Rock said: there's the rich and the wealthy. "Shaq is rich...the man who signs his check is wealthy."

Not a lot of people have asked this question lately, what's going on in Iraq? How many have we lost? How many have they lost? What is the status over there? No one is talking about it because everyone is distracted by our money loss rather than our citizen loss. I think the papers' headlines should read about the election and the war EQUALLY. The citizen loss is casued by the fund loss, and vise versa. It's a vicious circle. Money is the root of all evil.
