Obama wins

I have to agree with Kotomi about one thing: education is one thing that does not work under a free market system. Leaving education to an elite minority only creates a world where ignorance runs rampant and the gap between social classes widens to an insurmountable distance. Education, even moreso than health care, needs to be universal and available to everyone at the best quality possible.

Maybe it is unfair that rich people are picking up most of the bill. But I think that universal education is important enough to be considered a public good. The playing field is just too uneven at the start without it.

sure education is important, and I would gladly donate some of my money to help it along, as long as its my fair share. The fundamental concept of me having to foot most of the bill just because I have more is repulsive. Not to say I mind giving more, but at least give me some sort of incentive to do so.

And it goes beyond education by far. Being forced to foot most the bill for every bad governmental decision that i had no part of. There would be no room to complain if i paid 70% of the taxes and got 70% of the say in matters, or if i paid an equal share and got equal say, but thats not how it stands.

Its infuriating to see a bad decision made and go 'yup, im going to get to pay to clean this mess up'
 
I just love how people are blaming Obama for all of this, when the tax system has been in place for what, almost a hundred years? Great.
 
Sorry, I just had to put this. :p


Seriously thou, big challenges up ahead. Hope he's ready to take them head on. :)
