What continues to surprise me (I shouldn't be surprised at this point I know) is that many democrats voting for Mr. Obama don't realize that just like in the 70's when Carter was president, we could end up with near 0 growth because business can't afford (or be rewarded for) to invest.

Sounds a lot like the ACORN platform. Oh yeah...ACORN and Obama are from the same mold.

Higher taxes for everyone and less command of markets abroad and within their own borders. Russia, China and even India could dominate the global markets if we loose our free market powers. IMHO. :(

Ummm.....isn't China a socialist country?

Last I checked, they don't seem to have a problem getting enough private investment.

Good luck to you with that.
