I keep reading about the problems that are facing the automobile industry in this country! Management and unions cannot get together and agree on anything. Whenever our political eggheads get involved it seems that things get worse and worse. So, what do I have to lose by giving my 2 cents worth? ...more

Having succeeded to the final decades of tenure in this marvelous adventure of life, I am no longer surprised by the magnificence of the human species or the shallowness of human character. Many eloquent words have been spoken of the myriad examples of the magnificence of our species. In those examples the words are graceful, flowing, solid and powerful. Conversely, in the examples depicting the shallowness of the human species, the words are deceptive and nuanced, always leaving an opportunity for one to hide or evade. ...more

A healthy economy is key to America's strength. John McCain has a plan to keep our economy strong. It includes real benefits for the middle-class worker. For example, the elimination of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) would save 25 million middle class families nearly $60 billion in a single year.

McCain would maintain the income and investment tax rates at their current level, which is the key to insuring economic growth of small business and entrepreneurs.
