Congress has the power of the purse. Congress controls spending. This was before Republicans became a bunch of back-stabbing, double-talking spenders, who aren’t really Republicans at all. > > We need to stop looking at party affiliations and judging political candidates by their merits. As stated above, Obama loathes the 2nd Amendment, and unbridled prosperity. He wants to redistribute wealth. The Soviet Union called…that doesn’t work. McCain is a riddle wrapped in an anomoly, sprinkled with inconsistency, but he’s not a socialist, and he hasn’t worked to ban guns. > > I refuse to vote for either of them, but Obama is the candidate more repugnant to the principles upon which this nation was founded and under which it once prospered. So, what is the bailout called? What is SSI? That’s socialism…sugarcoat it how you like but in reality, these are the facts. You can look at it as a redistribution of wealth, but in the end the middle class is who made this country prosper, so investing in that is what he wants to do. We are in dire financial straights, and what is McCain’s plan? Continue to help the massive corporate structure that does not re-invest in America. They, just like me and you have a moral obligation to uphold here, and for them capitalism and greed is what’s most important, not you or me. What job did Bush do? I actually don’t even care so not sure why I am asking. He didn’t do a good job, if he did, we wouldn’t have this disparity now. As the president he is suppose to serve the people which he hasn’t done! BTW-the Soviet Union, had a lot more problems fiscally and structurally that are beyond just socialistic constructs, we can get into that discussion if you like, but I lived there during the socialist times and I was just there in December, so I can tell you plenty… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/taxes-vs-president/199833)._
