Or we can do what McCain plans to do. Buy up all the bad mortgages and renegotiate them for 80% less, and have the tax payers pay for the difference.

Let's spread the wealth.

Under Pres. Bush, the government is already taking ownership of banks. Maybe under McCain, the US government will take ownership of all housing the provide everyone with cheap homes.

Yeah, that's a better idea.
Bush Tax Cuts == Job Killer

June 2003: 129,839,000 employed
2.21 million jobs were LOST after 2 years of Bush Tax Cuts.

One asinine idea doesn't validate another.

and the bailout plan was congress', Bush's plan was canned. Not that his made more sense, both are stupid.

Good, you admit both of them are idiots. That's the only credible opinion.

Except I have no problems with the words "spreading the wealth".

I agree with Obama's tax plans.

If you are afraid of a candidate who wants to "spread the wealth", don't vote for either McCain or Obama.

I'm pretty sure that I said that 2 weeks ago. You're correct, I'm not voting for either of "those people".

McCain is letting more people keep more of their own money. Obama is not, and believes the right thing to do is to give to take from the "haves" and give to the "have not's" - the very same thing Democrats have been loosely accused of the past 30 years or so - but which Obama seems to freely admit. Obama wants to take one groups money and just give it to another group who many of their members pays NO money.

Big difference. I'm not big on progressive taxes or marxism, but if I've got to choose I'll choose the former.
