Observations of 2008 election

Its interesting as we approach the final days of the 2008 campaign that we have states like West Virginia with 2 US Senators that are both Democrats and a Democratic Governor yet the state is leaning Republican for President. And the ironic part is that Senator Byrd will be casting his vote for a black President, given his living history during the 1960s and civil rights.

Why do we fear taxes?

The Fox News headline reads "Biden: Be Patriotic, Pay More Taxes" and of course Fox viewers pounced on his comments. However if you actually read the article, it states that under Obama's tax plan only the wealthiest Americans may have to pay more taxes. But isn't what Biden saying true? If we are in fact a country "at war" like the President keeps reminding us, would it not be more patriotic to pay more taxes? Most people, wealthy or not, do all we can to avoid paying as many taxes as possible. I guess the reality is most people don't have to money to pay since gas prices are high , local taxes for schools seems ever increasing and the mortgage crisis. Then again we need better schools, we are fighting a never ending fight against terror, and our roads and bridges are in desperate need of repairs. Then you add the natural disasters that hit the country, hurricane Ike most recently, California wildfires, earthquakes, floods, tornados etc. Yet we as Americans still shy away from paying taxes. So who has the money to help? Fox news viewers don't want to take away from the rich based on comments made on its web site. So who then do we turn to? The Chinese? The Saudis? As we have seen over the past 8 years if the American people don't pay up then America will be more beholden than ever on foreign investment. Where is the outcry on all the foreign governments that control America's debt? We complain about foreign oil but does anyone realize who the Treasury sells our bonds to? We better wake up as a people and realize that old saying from the movies, its time to take care of our own backyard, our own backyard!
